One of the hottest SEO doubts among the learners and entrepreneurs blog is where to place the business to gain maximum SEO potential. The implemented solutions are very different from using a folder in the main domain, another domain, subdomain, or use a free service. I will try to shed some light:
Within the realm
Is to put the blog into one folder. It is the optimum solution to SEO level, since the blog fail 100% of the domain popularity hanging. Whether you have a corporate website or online store, all the popularity you will also get the blog, given that Google attributes to a single domain (subdomain exactly) all the popularity it achieved.
On the downside is sometimes the implementation, which sometimes requires mixing a blog and web design business in the same ...
In a subdomain
Google's relationship with the subdomains has always been very curious in theory always been treated as distinct from the main domain, but the practice has always understood that there was some relationship. A few years ago a subdomain was more interesting to SEO a folder level. Now no, Google does not pass all the popularity of the domain from which hangs. It is an option for those who seek to enhance the blog in a very intense way and for those who prefer technically separate blog where they keep important programs for safety and to avoid technical problems.
another domain
Here is part of the SEO all levels from 0 a only recommended for those who want to create a blog full of life and personality and not so corporate, and most are able to expedite it. If not, do not do it just because you never waste time on a blog that no one will see in Google.
In a free service (Blogger, WordPress.com)
Subdomains, has also undergone important changes to SEO level. For beginners these services are a free and easy way to blog. The problem is when the blog grows and the owner or enhance it technically can not benefit from the positioning of your main domain. Also it is not always easy to redirect to a new location correctly.
Having a blog on your own domain is very very cheap, if you take your business seriously you will not use this option.
