Why Your Blog Should Be Part of Your Website vs. Remote Hosting Options

The beauty of blogging is that if you can send e-mail, you can blog.  Blogs make it easy for the non-techie person to add new content to their site and build relationships with new prospects and customers.  Every site we build now includes a blog as part of the actual domain.

Q:  Why do I want my blog to be part of my site when I can set one up for little to nothing at sites like BlogSpot.com or WordPress.com?

A: Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain
Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary website can limit the value of your blog to your business.   We started out with a blog at typepad.com a few years ago, then realized that it was much more valuable to install a WordPress blog (www.wordpress.org) .ORG software on our server and had our techs configure the templates, plug-ins and interface.

The main reasons for having your blog as part of your actual domain is that a blog on your domain can attract links to other areas of your site, increase visibility, improve publicity efforts, build trust, and raise your search rankings.
