Is It better to have a blogroll style Homepage to your website? or one main post?

[nyphenom]

Does a site rank better or is it better to have a blogroll style homepage linking to all of your other post in your website.  Or is it better to have one  homepage post for the main keyword theme of the website, with the other post titles in  a side  column?

Really, this depends on a a lot of factors. As a reader, I prefer to land on a site and see 6-8 articles (if there is a blog as the main site) with titles and snippets. I don't know how this works for rankings though....

What is the goal of your website? You can do either or, but if you were to take Matt Cutt's advice then his site would tell you to do a home page and then a blogroll on your blog using summaries for each post. http://www.mattcutts.com/

But, I don't think Matt is selling anything...

You can also do a blogroll and then make your selling posts sticky. Blog rolls also keep your homepage content fresh. But if your not really a blog site then I's use a static homepage.

Hi Rodney,

My vote goes for the subfolder. www.example.com/blog

Regular, quality content on a blog will get crawled and indexed very quickly, and if you are savvy with your internal linking, this will really boost the main site too.

You can also check some opinions from the guru´s of SEO here and Im sure you will reach to a conclusion.
