Page in html and Wp as blog
-
Hello, i have a website in html5 and recently i did a new folder in my site: www.site.com/blog for example, and there i installed Wordpress.
I would like to know if that is correct, because 1 have 2 sites different and maybe i had that install WP in blog.site.com ?
Must i add www.site.com/blog in WMT?
Thanks for all.

Sorry, Juan Carlos, I'm still not clear on the differences between the 2 sections of the sites.
You say "The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) ... but the website don't talk about that".
Then you say: "The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site."
If the blog isn't specifically about the same topics and targeted at the same web visitors as the html site, then it's not going to help get more sales and should be completely separate. It sounds to me like you're doing a general blog, but hope it will generate traffic for the specific sales site. This almost never works, as having a lot of off-topic content on the blog will confuse the search engines about what the sales site is about. It will also be attracting visitors that aren't interested in your site's products, which is a waste.
My suggestion would be to have the blog completely separate, and then when you do write a post that actually is about something the html site sells, link to the page about that product.
Alternatively, (and this would be far stronger for SEO of the sales site) leave the blog where it is and limit the blog topics mostly to things that relate directly to the products you are selling.
Make sense?

Hi Paul, the blog is in Wordpress and the general website in html 100%. The blog will be to do post about anything (tech, fashion, beauty, etc..) and to talk about tips, advices, etc.. but the website don't talk about that, the blog is a complement. The blog is made to generate traffic from google and 1 way to get more sales in my site.
Do am i in the correct way?
PD: I would like to add my blog to WMT to get more exactly estadistics from there.

Is the blog an integral part of the html website, Juan Carlos? By that, I mean - do they serve the same audience? Does the blog support the purpose of the html site? Are they about the same topics and designed to enhance the value of each other? If so, having the blog as a subdirectory of the html site is exactly the correct approach.
If, on the other hand, you simply want to have another website (the blog) in the same hosting account as the html site, and they're about different things, then you should keep them completely separate. Best way is to set the blog up as a completely separate site on your hosting account. At the very least, setting it as a subdomain (blogname.yoursite.com) would be better, but best is still to separate them completely with a new domain name for the blog.
As far as adding site.com/blog to Webmaster Tools. that's only necessary if you wish to designate the /blog folder as targeted at a different country than the main site. (Many sites use this method to have a subsite specially targeted for a different country or language for example).
Bottom line - if the html site and blog are on the same topic and designed to help each other, your setup is correct. If the blog targets different topics and audience, you need to separate it from the other site.
Does that make sense?

Blog page and homepage ranking next to each other for same keyword
Hello, I have my homepage that has been existing for 10 years that is ranked in 18 th position on google for the keyword luxury bike tours. This homepage doesn't have any external link or internal links saying luxury bike tours and nowhere in the title or on the page do I have the word luxury. I only have the words bike and tours. I created a blog page 24 hours ago that has the word luxury, bike and tours in the title and it is ranked in 19 th position just behind my homepage. I am wondering how it can be there and my homepage just be one spot above with all the history and linking it has ? Is it due to the fact that I have the word luxury in the title ? Is it just because my internal linking structure is correct and this blog page is brand new and will my homepage rank higher in the near future but see that I just redid the structure I need to wait a few months ?

Blog subdomain not redirecting
Over the last few weeks I have been focused on fixing high and medium priority issues, as reported by the Moz crawler, after a recent transition to WordPress. I've made great progress, getting the high priority issues down from several hundred (various reasons, but many duplicates for things like non-www and www versions) to just five last week. And then there's this weeks report. For reasons I can't fathom, I am suddenly getting hundreds of duplicate content pages of the form http://blog.<domain>.com</domain> (being duplicates with the http://www.<domain>.com</domain> versions). I'm really unclear on why these suddenly appeared. I host my own WordPress site ie WordPress.org stuff. In Options / General everything refers to http://www.<domain>.com</domain> and has done for a number of weeks. I have no idea why the blog versions of the pages have suddenly appeared. FWIW, the non-www version of my pages still redirect to the www version, as I would expect. I'm obviously pretty concerned by this so any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mark

Product with two common names: A separate page for each name, or both on one page?
This is a real-life problem on my ecommerce store for the drying rack we manufacture: Some people call it a Clothes Drying Rack, while others call it a Laundry Drying Rack, but it's really the same thing. Search volume is higher for the clothes version, so give it the most attention. I currently have 2 separate pages with the On-Page optimization focused on each name (URL, Title, h1, img alts, etc) Here the two drying rack pages: clothes focused page and laundry focused page But the ranking of both pages is terrible. The fairly generic homepage shows up instead of the individual pages in Google searches for the clothes drying rack and for laundry drying rack. But I can get the individual page to appear in a long-tail search like this: round wooden clothes drying rack So my thought is maybe I should just combine both of these pages into one page that will hopefully be more powerful. We would have to set up the On-Page optimization to cover both "clothes & laundry drying rack" but that seems possible. Please share your thoughts. Is this a good idea or a bad idea? Is there another solution? Thanks for your help! Greg

Pages On Subfolder Not Ranking
A subdirectory/folder on our website doesn't seem to rank for any keywords where the same type of pages on the same competition level keywords rank perfectly fine. For awhile the pages weren't getting indexed but were crawled regularly. Can't seem to figure the problem out.
