has anyone had success using publicly hosted blog (i.e. blogger or wordpress) versus self-hosting? would like to hear from you
-
The Tweetworks blog is hosted on WordPress. We just use domain masking. How are you defining success?
-
@steveborgman I've done a lot of self-hosted WordPress blogs and always install Google Analytics. Let me know what your Qs are.
-
Mike, could use help installing wordpress on self hosted GoDaddy account
-
@MikeLangford does domain masking affect SEO?
-
SEO, in my mind, simply means that people find what I want them to find when they search for what I expect them to search for.
-
I'm not an expert, but I can't see how using Wordress.com with your own domain hinders this process.
-
Reading through the comparison on Wordpress's site http://is.gd/fm5X the main differences is control and customization.
-
In the end content rules when it comes to SEO.
-
Forwarding a domain is not the same as domain masking/pointing. You'll actually need change the DNS entry.
-
The problem with using hosted blogs is you are driving traffic to your site and you can have your blog deleted suddenly without notice.
-
goDaddy is a tough install for noob. Find a host with elephante, simpltescripts or fantastico. IMHO nickinglis.net makes installs easiest.
-
thanks for the help:)
-
