I was glad to hear this. We are working on revamping our site and there has been an internal struggle to determine what is best. Thanks for the expert advice.

I also wasn’t sure whether to have a separate blog? What a great explanation! I’ve decided to have it as part of the main site also. This article has given me some inspiration….

Great post, I came to the same conclusion, that a blog is better on your own site, but good to see an expert agrees.
Thanks.

Thank you Mark for all the info regarding this. I was just weighing up the pros and cons of a separate blog or putting it on the main site and I now think that I will run with a blog on the main site.

Thanks again

Thanks for the great advise. I was wondering what to do with my site: http://www.tothelighthousemarketing.com and had the blog set up within the site itself. I was really worried about the link building…having researched some other sites like Seth Godin’s which had their blog site separate.
Now, I’m much relieved. Thank you.

Thanks for a very interesting discussion. I have been debating whether to (a) move my blog (currently on a Wordpress subdomain) onto my business site, (b) buy a separate domain for the blog, and shift the existing content over, or© just leave it where it is. If I decide my blog is more personal in tone, but has some posts which are a great fit with my website, can’t I just selectively republish (copy & paste, not link) the relevant posts onto my business website, so that it benefits from refreshed content, but isn’t exposed to all my blog idiosyncracies?

Great post and discussion. I can’t think of another web marketing topic that is so disputed—it’s the chicken or the egg of the web marketing. Show me someone that says one thing, and I’ll show you a respectable person that says the opposite. Ultimately, it comes down to strategy. I lean towards what Heidi said above.

Patagonia.com through thecleanestline.com has separated the two, as has Southwest airlines via blogsouthwest.com

At http://SKLZ.com we chose to develop a separate blog URL at http://practiceplaywin.com We did this because we want practiceplaywin.com to evolve into a community where we can have conversations with customers in a more casual manner as compared to SKLZ.com where our tone is more core. Practiceplaywin.com gives us flexibility.
