Add New Content To Site or Blog?

[rickanderson]

I will be adding a ton of new content to my site.

Question: is there any difference, seo wise, between adding the content to my blog or to the 'main site'?

I'm currently #1 for the top 5 searches in my local industry so not looking to make a climb....just solidify... (ya ya, I know the concept of 'solidification' is an illusion')

Adding content is almost always a good thing as long as it is unique and not duplicated.

To blog or not ... would depend on whether the content lends itself to blogging ... could be a combination of both makes most sense.

I do try to get my clients to blog because it means that more content is added on a regular basis ... ergo more spider food ... and people like to read blogs about certain topics ... but I also encourage the building of content on regular old html pages ... things like FAQs generally work better there, IMO.

Well a blog is more for reporting and commentary, while your main site could contain more product and services content. It really depends and can be reviewed and decided as you create content. Their are no hard set rules here.

Talking about "solidification" I have read a lot of writings by SEO Gurus about posting
snippets of website's contents in blogs (different IPs) once the website’s contents have been indexed by the SEs.

I'm implementing this technique for my Digital Product Center which is not among the top 100 for
anything other than "digital product center" but many of its webpages are getting high ranking and generating sales.

i think it depends...but generally forums and blogs are pretty good when it comes to SEO...your own site would need to be organized well to compete with it...

I would post it on my site. You have more control of your site and can control the way the site links to the articles.

Nothing will get hidden and become hard to find.

And with the problems Google is having with the PPP I would not want to take a chance with the content and ranking.

If your content is unique and content is related to your main site. It would be better if you put it on your main site just add another category as blog.

I feel adding content to main site is useful. Because for main site you can have static pages. If your are able to create static pages through blog.

Then there is no difference in adding content to main site or blog

well its cool to add content to either site or blog as long as it is unique, has a good quality and of course relevant to your site/blog
