hi there, i am building what willl hopfully be a busy wordpress SITE..
i know that ongoing content building is great for todays SEO and was wondering if it would be better to host the sites blog under a new subdomain (blog.wordpresssite.com)then installing wordpress again and doing it that way, or simply having a 'blog page' within under the main Domain name.. (wordpresssite.com/blog)
obvious the latter option would mean the content within the domain is constantly being updated.. so would assume this is better (would also involve less work

but just wanted some advice as i notice many other wordpress sites host there wordpress blog under a subdomain from there wordpress site.. is there a point to this?

which way is best for the main sites SEO?

thanks

  • Curious-george,

    There are a lot of opinions floating around the web about this one. I would say that the sub-directory route is better because all of your content is really on one website. That being said I would also venture a guess that any difference in benefit in terms of SEO would be marginal.

    Hope that helps,

      Wait so your suggesting having 2 installations of word press for the same site? That's complicating the management of the site a bit. I would have the site and blog incorporated under the main domain.
