Redirect blogspot blog ?

[danlae]

Hi

We have an ecom site selling childrens clothing. We startet up with a blogspot blog due to the lack of that option from our provider. I have a few links in to the blogspot blog and realized today that the PA is 39 - the PA of homepage of ecom site is 40.

Ive lately been using the ..../blog on my ecom site. The functionality so far of it is so bad that i am considering using the blogspot blog again.

How can i best utilize the strength of our blog at blogspot. Just keep posting w anchor text to relevant pages our main site? Is redirecting a possibility at all ?

You can definitely set www.yoursite.com/blog to redirect (as a 301) to Blogspot. However, your domain is not getting the SEO benefits from your blog by having it on Blogspot. Yes, you can put rich anchor text links, but it's safe to say that Google's smart enough to figure out that you own both your domain and the Blogspot blog.

The best use you could get out the blog would be for link-bait articles, in the hope that people would then circle back to your e-commerce site.
