SEO for Blogs - Top Tips
-
Hi People,
This may have been covered before (i am sure it had) but I was wondering if people use the same SEO tactics for blogs as they do for other sites.
Really wondering if there are any tips for blogs specifically ?
Thanks all

Great thank you.
Duplicate content is a good point. Using SEOMOZ tools should make that easier to manage

Not really off the beaten track with this advice, but some other things to focus on more with a blog:
1. Duplicate content. Sometimes CMS can create duplicate content issues, so making it easy for search engines to know which one to focus on is big. Just use the rel="canonical tag or 301 duplicate versions of the same post.
2. Let readers share easily with social sharing buttons. This should be done for any site, but it is especially important on blogs to gain quick rankings for recent posts.
3. Make real connections with readers and similar blog authors. Making connections with these people will help you in creating natural links from relevant sites that drive qualified traffic.
Oh yeah, the great content thing, too. Get some of that.

More important SEO

I have a linking tree as follows: Main Site > Product > Specific Product Is the Product page more important to add SEO or is the end deep linked page "specific product" more important? I'm ready to hear the answers of whatever gives a better customer experience and both... Thanks!

Phone number for SEO
We have had an interesting question from a client. They have asked if removing their phone number from their website would have an affect on their rankings. Our immediate answer was 'No' but it may affect the Brand, Usability and Customer experience by restricting the methods of contact. This then made us think that perhaps then it could have an effect in the long term. This situation is also complicated by the fact that they do not have a Google Local Plus account for operational, sensitivity reasons (they don't want to openly publicise their address) We believe that there shouldn't be any negative affect but thought we would open a discussion. Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas.

How to best use our blog posts for SEO?
My company recently created a WordPress hosted blog. It is hosted completely separate from our company site. The primary domain for the blog is blog.mydomainname.com, but we immediately created a folder within our company website for www.mydomainname.com/blog that has a reverse proxy to the blog itself. I'm curious though if we should consider taking the content from the blog posts and re-creating that within our company website as well? The blog posts are very good SEO rich content, and we always struggle to find new content to put on our company website as it is already. Would like to get some folks thoughts on this. Thanks!
