Would it be smart to have 2 different blogs on our site?
-
I run Wick Video - where we make animated videos for businesses. We are toying around with making blog/video content geared toward marketers, _and _creating blogs/tutorials geared toward designers and animators. Since it's two totally different groups, we've had the idea of making two separate blogs.
Is that a good idea? Any websites currently doing this well?
-
Ah. As outlined above by EGOL the separate subscription model should do well. Plus you'll be keeping inbound links within the blog as a whole so that should help with gains.
-
We don't plan on having a large volume of content (1-2 posts / week / category). But we do have very different audiences. As EGOL suggested, we might solve this by segmenting the blog into 2 categories.
-
Good to know people can subscribe to a specific category. I think that's what we'll do.
-
Our current blog has a lot of cross over. But we want to start doing more tutorials, specifically about animation, and what cool After Effects plugins we are using - not super interesting/relevant for the average marketer (unless I'm wrong).
On the flip-side, we want to use our animation skills, and partner with industry-experts, in various marketing fields, to create short (~1 min) videos with one overall golden nugget / piece of advice. (i.e. "5 Ways to Improve Your Landing Page")
-
I agree w. EGOL. While I've seen instances of more than one blog on a site, it tends to work well when you're tackling large volume of content spanning a broad and deep mix of topics aimed at different audiences. Looks like it might be over-kill in your situation.
-
People can subscribe to the RSS feed of a WordPress category.
Also, you can write a program in Perl or php or other language to scrape your feeds and republish them into server-side includes by blog category. Then these server-side includes can be displayed on any page of your website. (there are simpler ways to do this but that is how mine has been done)
-
Thumbs up. EGOL has solid advice on this. There's a lot of cross over between marketers and designers so a blog with both types of content (and talking about their intersections) wouldn't bother me in the least. Would be pretty cool in fact!
-
Lots of sites have multiple installs of wordpress in different folders.
In your application, you might not need to do that. Instead just categorize the posts and then promote the category pages. Will have the same effect. You can insert custom content on the category pages using functions.

Knowledge base for seo, announcing new articles on blog (dupe content)
Hi all, Im thinking of creating a knowledge base with all many asked questions in my company. This could be a great Link-bait source but also nice ranking opportunities i think. But sometimes some new articles are so actual that i also want to blog them.

When I create a new blog post for my site www.piolettilaw.com/blog in an effort to make sure it is seen by the most people the quickest I do the following: (1) link it to my google+ account https://plus.google.com/b/115145499443620475217/+PiolettiPiolettiAttorneysatLawEureka/posts (2) I then link it in virtually the same way on facebook (3) I ping it my blog directory piolettilaw.com/blog using ping-o-matic Is that a pretty good gameplan to follow when making new blog posts?

Help on blog topics for my niche
I'm looking for a couple of blogging ideas to get the ball rolling (mainly in my head) for one of the company websites I am working on. The site is https://perco.co.uk The company is based around offering trenchless technology across the UK. The first couple of posts are more like 'Latest news' items and I have only really come up with an idea of 'microtunnelling vs directional drilling'. I didn't seem to get much out of ubersuggest, soovle and google instant. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Blog at blogspot
Hi My website provider doesnt yet have the function to integrate blog under my domain name so the blog is at blogspot. Inevitably there will be quite some links going from blog to differnet pages on my site. I havent yet incorporated a clickable link from my homepage to blog. I am not sure wether to do this or not. Will this just reduce the value of the links going from the blog ? Thanks

Index pdf files but redirecto to site
Hi, One of our clients has tons of PDFs (manuals, etc.) and frequently gets good rankings for the direct PDF link. While we're happy about the PDFs attracting users' attention, we'd like to redirect them to the site where the original PDF link is published and avoid that people open the pdf directly. In short, we'd like to index the PDFs, but show to users the pdf link within a site - how should we proceed to do that? Thanks, GM

Using own domain for Google blog
Is it worth the effort using your own domain for a Google blog? After adding my own domain to a blog I see a boost in ranking, maybe the url has more value without the blogspot extension, or that Google might treat the (max.10) pages you produce under your own domain as "independent" thus giving you the chance of building your own domain trust...?
