Would You Host A Blog On The Same Domain?

Adding a blog to your site... helps you in a number of ways. Here's a few just off the top of my head:

1.) You can use it to increase readership, followers, and subscribers.

2.) You can add offers to your product and or other related affiliate products.

3.) You can add keywords in your post to build your internal linking structure.

4.) It will also let Google know that your site is active (if you post content regularly).

If I were you... I'd do both.

Just check out the Google's keyword tool and see what people are looking for that's related to your niche. Create more blogs to target the related traffic and funnel it back to your "money site" or send it to other offers.

Having multiple sites allows you to reach more prospects and build links back to your money sites. Just don't link them together if they are on the same server. You'll need a wide range of ip's (different hosting providers) to do that.

I am about to do the same with you,kenj, and looking for the sound advice too.

I'd put the blog on my main domain.. otherwise you're increasing the amount of work involved.

Sending traffic, backlinks, search rank and building value on one site will be quicker and easier.

Leave it on the same domain, so search engines see that your website is regularly updated, etc. The bigger the better!

A good idea is to link to the blog from the main page, somewhere inexplicable. That way Google can crawl the blog easily. it's also a good idea to do some backlinking to make sure you get indexed :-)

I definitely would leave the blog on the same domain

One benefit of putting them on the same domain is tracking organic traffic easier. Also the Google Webmaster Tools will show you how your organic impressions and click-thrus per keyword are doing all in one place.

I would put them on the same domain, mostly because it allows you to build up content on the domain you want to have the best rankings...
