Hello,
We wanted to start hosting our own blog and was wondering (long term) if we are using embedding links to our inner pages in our blog entries if it would be a problem with Google long term? We have a designer that suggestes a custome look to match the site, and leave the wordpress plugin.
Should we continue to contribute to blogger, and wordpress (free) if we are hosting our own blog?
How important is a branded blog name? We were going to host it and name it
Thanks so much!!

Should we follow the same with our Press Releases, lately we've been doing approx 400 words per release with roughly 1 link per 100 words. Would you recommend less?
Thanks

- main domain is stronger than subdomain site.com/blog/
- it can be set up anywhere and pointed to a virtual directory it doesn't have to physically live on your site
- I would use the brand name and keep building your brand
- if you are using the blog for SEO purposes think of them as landing pages, not just places to add links for your site. each page/topic should target a keyword phrase in hopes of bringing organic traffic to that page
- don't overdo links on your blog posts or it looks spammy and mix up anchor texts. maybe two links to your main pages in each blog post
- blog posts must be 500 words or more too make sure Google doesn't think you're pages are too flimsy/thin
- set up the blog with SEO plugins, it's easy for a blog to not be configured properly and hurt your site if you allow everything to get indexed like tag and category pages for example

Should we work on a name? Or just use the Brand we are trying to build now
site.com/blog our host wants us to go blog.site.com for security reasons.
I just wanted to make sure before we put the effort in, of cource the majority of links would be linking to main/inner pages.
Thanks

If you have the man power to post quality content to the blogs it can only help I would not stop your blogger/wordpress blogs just to have it on your own domain

Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites
I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

Is using a tool such as My Blog Guest worth it?
I saw the post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services and saw that MyBlogGuest seems like a good link building service, so I signed up. It really is confusing though, it almost makes me think I have to install WP Blogs on my sites which primarily run in Joomla, so linking directly to the blog is not an option. Okay, fine, so I'll just skip the part about putting in offers on other people's posts. I really signed up for the link building part of it anyways. So, now, I just write content in the site-used article generator? Then, go in and offer it manually to people? Doesn't really strike me as some super powerful method of linkbuilding, but there's a good chance I'm missing something. If this is the case, I'd assume I'd have to write content that is relevant to the site that I am trying to build links for, and then place links back to that site, so basically I want my posts on competitors sites and that will help out with backlinks and authority? It's really confusing. I just want to have my content writer write good content and get links from it, and this method just confuses me. I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has used that service or can recommend something easier or better.

Blog commenting
Is this still a good way of getting backlinks? I do not plan on making it my only method. Most of my backlinking is done through content creation, press releases, and guest blogging. But looking for some variety in there that can be done quicker. Is it even worth the time or are the links too spammy now? If I did I would actually hand build the links and comment to the article.

Blog Directories
Will links from blog directories to our subfolder-located blog within our website help the ranking of our overall site? In other words, will it just help the rankings of the main blog page (where the directory links are pointing to), or will it pass the link juice to the rest of the site? Thanks!

Changing Category Names in Wordpress Blog & Inbound Links
I'm working on a wordpress blog, /www.athleticfoodie.com, and I'd like to change the names of the categories so that I include keywords. If I change the current category name of "Healthy Recipes" to "Recipes for Athletes" will I lose the inbound links associated with the category and/or posts? Is there a way to prevent this?
