I have a client that has a site on Antique Carpets. He wants to start writing articles that are associated with the industry.

Would it be better to:
1) write the articles and post them within the site
2) create a blog on blogger.com, and point to the clients site
3) create a blog on his own domain

thanks for the help

If it were me, I would create the blog on my website like this:

somesite.com/blog

I would do #2 only for the backlink (but you must remember to link to the blog with 1 external link that is not from the main domain or any domain on that server).

Adding content to the regular part of the site is important also.  I tell clients that they need to try and achieve 225 webpages as the ultimate goal.  (15 menu items x 15 sub menu items)

Another tip is to change the homepage weekly.  This should get the client crawled more frequently and produce better search engine results.

Travis,
Is there an internal blogging tool that you would recommend?
I am looking to install something simple on his site that he would be able to update himself and create blogs whenever he wants to.

Do I need to custom program that in php/asp, or do you have a package that I can buy and have installed?

Thanks for the great tips,

Todd,

This piece of software comes recommended for being simple: http://www.simplephpblog.com/

I haven't done a huge amount of work with blogs because I don't care for the maintenence.  This software should be pretty easy to install.
