Do the search engines count blog on site as content

[gjd6599]

I have a regular site on hostgator created with web design software, and I also have a wordpress blog on the same domain. www.mysite.com/blog My question is, do the search engines consider the posts or pages I put on the blog as content for my website?

All the articles I write I have been posting on the blog. Is that a smart thing to do, or should I be putting it as pages on the site?

One thing that bothers me is that I have the plug-in counterize installed on the blog, and it shows no results. The main site shows traffic, but the blog does not according to counterizer. It doesn't even show the bots.

It is indexed by all the main engines, and I visited myself from a computer other than mine, and it still showed no results. Is this because it is part of the main site?

It is set for search engines to visit in the admin panel of wordpress.

Thanks Glenn

Short answer is they do.

You should have content on both.

There are a number of strategies that you can do here. You could write a post on your blog and link to a page on your site (so both get crawled constantly)

Personally, what I do with authority sites is set up a site and add silos to it. Then I set up a blog and link my sites pages with the appropriate anchor to my static site. It works for me.

Not sure. Try testing with a different analytical tool, like google analytics or statcounter. Also, you should use google's webmaster tools.
