You should take a look at this article I wrote it will help you get a better understanding at what it takes to get good traffic:

You can increase the traffic of your main website by promoting your blog and filtering the traffic to your website sales pages. That is a great way to increase the traffic of your main site.

You can make your blog on a sub domain or an just a sub directory of your main website:
http://yoursite.com/blog or
http://blog.yoursite.com

I’m looking at setting up a BLOG for http://www.yourroth401k.com … aite I built for a customer. Any feedback on whether to use the default BLOG in Drupal, or perhaps try to leverage Wordpress or Typepad?

I find it interesting how many BLOG sites actually are nothing more than just posts from the author. No real commentary (like here!) and probably doomed to almost no traffic. Without dynamic fresh content, Google will eventually write off your BLOG and you will lose the value of the technology.

That being said, one of my new sites, http://www.corbinmarcuscompany.com just went live. My current blog is live, but it is weak at this point!

I started blogging to keep my customers informed of the most recent industry information. And now, it has turned into an enjoyable hobby, and it helps keep me sharp.

I also have an eBook called SEO Made Easy that had a lot of useful information on how to increase website traffic.

Great post. I totally agree. I used to add blogs to my website and it really works. It’s good, that now more people will learn about that.

I use Google Alerts to keep track of my competition and noticed somebody who is a prolific writer doing a blog that so totally pushes the links to one particular company (who shall remain unnamed so as to not give them additional juice). The writer has peppered the blog with a couple of dummy distracting writings on soccer but the majority are industry specific with only links to one target company. Obviously Google notices because I get the alerts. However, all the blogs are PR0 so not sure how much juice gets passed. Each page can also feature several links which dilute the juice. He also lifted a photo from my site with no credit. Chassis Plans offers Rackmount Computers and Configured Rack Mount Computer Systems built to customer specification.

Through trial and error I’ve found out the hard way what you point out here in a nicely written piece. I guess now I need to find ways of getting traffic to the blog and driving that to my main site.
Nice one!

LGR,

This is a really good question. Unfortunately I made the mistake of starting this blog on a sub domain rather than a sub folder. If I could go back in time, I would definitely have set it up as a sub folder because this would increase the overall search engine rank of my root directory as well as get a boost to the blog itself from the existing links to my main site.

The one advantage I can see with using a sub domain is that it might be slightly easier to brand – blog.readysetconnect.com looks more authoritative than http://www.readysetconnect.com/blog/ would. Also, I guess I could also get the same links to both sites and get the link juice passed to both instead of just one site.

But yes, if I could do it again, it would totally be http://www.readysetconnect.com/blog.
