Is there an SEO advantage of hosting my blog on an external established Blog system rather than my own?
I have a business blog section on my website. It’s basically an area of the website I can regularly update so that the content on my website is fresh. This is supposed to be good for my website in terms of search engines crawlers (apparently they’ll return more often).
But would I benefit more if I also have a blog in a proper blogging environment such as Blogger, WordPress etc. with links to various related pages in my website. I guess the upside would be that I would have relevent inbound links but the downside would be that I wouldn’t have the blog on my own site which means no regularly updated content.
Unless I run the blogs simultaneaously, but would that be seen as some sort of Black Hat technique due to the content being duplicated on an external blog which is linking back?
HELP!
Thanks in advance.
Having both blog on my website and on an external system is an option I’m open to, although I feared that I may be marked as a black hat by Search Engines.
If not then I may as well go for that.
You seem right on the ball with this one…
Believe me, if you do both, I can assure you that you wont be marked as black hat, don’t worry about it. I suggest that you do both, it will truly help you in the end.
However, if you need to chose one or the other, which do you think will attract more visitors? Clearly, it seems like your goal is to rank higher; but itsn’t the goal in the end to recieve more visitors?
If you have an outside blog, how many people will see it? Will it do anything for you? Will you market that blog? If so, how?
How many people are currently looking at your website? Will a blog on your website help retain visitors and help sell your company from there?
Depending on the search engine, there’s far more to SEO than just links; inbound & external. It’s also how many clicks on the page once visited, how long vistitors stay on the page, and so on.
Inwhich case, having both will help trumendously!

Advance SEO Tips
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very important for a blog. SEO is the most effective way to get targeted readers and visitors, as it works with keywords. Make sure you know how search engine works and some basic methods to get indexed by search engines. In this article, I will say about some advance SEO tips which will be very effective to you all.
Actually there is only one point I wish to cover. Get even more serious in links. It is a very easy concept. Getting backlinks is a kind of offpage search engine optimization. You should try harder to get more links from other blogs or resources. I will give you some tips on getting backlinks.
The most common way to get backlinks is link exchange. This is an effective way. When it comes to advance, you should know more about getting backlinks. Only exchange with do-follow blog or website. Besides, you should always check whether your link partners have been banned by Google or not. This is because your link partner may be doing some black hat SEO and they have been banned by Google. If you are linking with a partner whose blog has been banned by Google, you will be banned too. You need Google Toolbar to check it.
Forums are also things that you need to involve youself more. You should comment more on dofollow forums with dofollow signature. Examples are Warrior Forum, Dream Team Money and 5star Affiliate Forum. Commenting on these forums will allow you to get one-way backlinks.
Article marketing is also a good and effective way which allows you to get one-way backlinks. If you have the writing skill, this will be the best method for you. Submit more articles to article directories will let you have more quality backlinks, as well as drive targeted traffic to your blog.
Other facts which you need to consider in SEO are quality content and update your blog often. Search engines like blogs which have many quality content and fresh content. Never copy other people’s content. Get the idea from there and innovate it instead of copying.

How To Fine Tune Your Organic Seo Techniques
Organic search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website or page so that you will become one of the top results in a search engine query. Increased link popularity results in higher Search Engine rankings for your chosen search items so this is one of the most effective methods for organic SEO.
The Advantages of Organic SEO
Many people look down on organic Search Engine Optimization, preferring to use other techniques (such as pay-per-click search engine advertising) that – to their minds – result in higher page rankings in the minimum amount of time. What they don’t realize is that, while this technique does result in higher page ranks, they get smaller profit margins in return because of the ‘cash up front’ that they have to forego.
Organic SEO Secret
The ‘secret’ to organic SEO is in its “natural” approach to increasing inbound links to your website – which means getting visitors to your website, and enticing them to link to your page. In a sense, organic SEO is a two-step process: getting people interested enough in your website to pay a visit; and providing sufficiently interesting content to persuade them to link to your site.
Organic SEO also involves finding the right keyword to optimize for. If you are not sure what your key phrases are, there are online tools available to help you. These tools are useful in keyword research which will help you refine your organic SEO approach.
Get Indexed
Organic SEO begins with getting indexed by the search engines. If you are not in a search engine’s index, you will not be included in search engines results pages. Thus, you have to submit your site to search engines.
Search engine submission can be done through a lot of ways. You can do it through the most obvious way; that is, by submitting your site URL to Google, Yahoo and other search engines you wish to be part of.
Another popular way of getting indexed is by submitting your site to open directories such as DMOZ. This particular open directory is used by Google, so if you get your site listed there, the Googlebot will certainly find you.
In line with directory submission, links from important sites can get you indexed quickly. If you want fast results, buy a one-way link from an important site (not a link farm, mind you) so that Googlebot or any other search engine spider can follow that link to your site and in consequence get your site indexed. In the same way, you can also try site submission services.
Be an Active Netizen
You can also consider taking proactive approaches to optimizing your website. Think about getting into offline optimization strategies such as participating in online forums or blogs, submitting articles, writing press releases and directory submissions, all of which will give you opportunities to ‘seed’ links pointing back to your website.
One excellent approach is to start a blog or two about your key phrase, and then link these blogs to your website. Make sure, however, that you continually add fresh content to both your blogs and your site. There is nothing more frustrating for visitors than finding old, outdated content. Providing fresh and interesting content on a regular basis will encourage more people to visit your site.
Organic SEO: It’s Best When It’s Natural
Organic Search Engine Optimization’s involves more sweat than cash; as such, your profit margins are larger than the other techniques. More importantly, you don’t have to worry about spamming search engines, or engage in ‘black hat’ strategies that risk your getting banned or having your listings dropped. It may entail a little pain, but the long term benefits add up to a major amount of gain.
So optimize your website the natural way – and watch your page ranking grow. In due time, you will feel the satisfaction of having a top-ranked page.

Offshore SEO Services – Why a Necessity?
Well the basic reason as to why offshore SEO services have become a necessity is that more trade and commercial activities are now being conducted online in the virtual world, i.e. the World Wide Web. Increasing online presence has become vitally important for businesses and that’s exactly where offshore SEO services can help.
For increasing online presence, the basic requirement is a website that’s search engine friendly and one that has the right keyword-enriched content. Offshore SEO services providers manage these needs quite well and help in getting more traffic, most of which is now generated through popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Windows Live etc. The traffic generated by offshore SEO services firms translates into a potentially huge customer base, a prerequisite for ensuring online success.
Here are some other critical areas covered by offshore SEO services, which most businesses will find difficult to cater to on their own.
Online marketing
When it comes to selling products and services online, nothing matches the effectiveness of online marketing. However, since online marketing requires specific domain knowledge and expertise, it is always better to choose professional offshore SEO services. Even selling the best quality products and services may not always work since potential customers first need to know that your products and services exist. That is something that can only be made possible through online marketing.
Blogging
Blogging is a very popular technique that offshore SEO services providers use for promoting the targeted website. Internet blogs can also be used for advertising products and services so as to generate more traffic and increase sales volumes. It however needs a certain amount of search engine optimization to improve and maintain your blog and generate the required amount of traffic, avoiding duplicate postings at the same time. This is something that is best left to experts, i.e. offshore SEO services providers.
Link building
The more the number of backlinks a website has, the more leverage it will gain on popular search engines. However, since link building is not a piece of cake and since doing it the wrong way can result in blacklisting, it is always better to seek professional help such as offshore SEO services.
SEO not being a perfect science may create some doubts about its effectiveness. However, businesses need not worry because most offshore SEO services projects are performance-based contracts. Businesses can give it a try anytime they feel the need.

Test Your SEO Skill With SEO Contest
In layman’s term, SEO contest is a competition participated by webmasters using a search engine’s web site pagerank system. Typically, the competition uses a nonsense and non-existent keyword for optimization. Several of the most known SEO contest keywords take the “hommingberger gepardenforelle”, “Busby SEO Challenge” and the “Busby SEO Test”.
Typically, a contest is set up and a keyword is defined by the contest holder. The target of the contest then is to develop a website or a web page that is optimized for that keyword. The destination then is to obtain the 1st position rank for a search engine or some search engines for the given keyword.
In regular niches the competition is not as killing as in SEO contests, well… except for the search engine optimization niche off coarse. Only to be the best in an SEO contest you don’t always have to have a big wallet, or a huge network of authority web sites. You can also win with a good strategy, and good SEO tactic.
The number one for the search engine contest keyword phrase is always the one everybody is concentrated upon. And everything that page does is being repeated by hundreds of people. And that’s not what you wish, do you? You want to win by surprise. The best way is off course making the first spot a day before the end of the contest. But how can you do that? Well I’ll explain it to you.
Starting of all you need to get yourself indexed, get several low pagerank backlinks from some link directories or something. This is to recognize your position in the contest, once you rank at a spot for the specific key phrase you kind of know how hard it is going to be, if you place on the first 3 pages of Google the contest isn’t that hard. But if you rank at the tenth page it’s going to be a little more difficult.
The next thing is to use your network of web sites. You can do that by placing a link from each web site to your contest page. But if you have many web sites and many pages on those web sites, it can trigger a Google penalization, and you don’t want that in the contest. What you also can do is producing a page on every web site you own and link to that page from all the pages within the website. You will get high valuable links with a lot of weight because the links are on topic.
Many SEO contestants use blog because it can be a great source of helpful, fresh and dynamic contents. Furthermore, most search engines prefer blogs as compared to a common web site.
The history of SEO contest was considered to have recognized first on May 7, 2004 when SearchGuild sponsored the nigritude ultramarine challenge. The nigritude ultramarine SEO contest finished later on two months (July 7, 2004) and was won by Anil Dash – the company Vice President of Six Apart. When asked about what is his technique in winning the competition, Dash said that valid and informative contents are the name of the game. In addition, he also did not apply any black-hat optimization techniques in the contest.
Long term competitions have several the benefit and hurt of having to survive multiple Google updates.
Google updates make or break your competition entry. If you’ve involved in any black hat SEO, the more updates that you pass, the more likely it is that Google will discover your technique and penalize your site. A short term contest allows more flexibility in your seo technique. You can take your hat a little dirty and not be in much danger of loosing your ranking because of a Google punishment.
