Wordpress Blog or page within site or guest post on other site?

[First-VehicleLeasing]

Where is the best place, from an SEO perspective to have my articles published?

1: My WordPress blog

2: As A guest post on another site.

3: Within the normal pages of my site.

Here is my site: www.fvl.co.uk

Any help and or advice would be gratefully recieved.

Andy,

Here is a hint...it is number two. Especially if the site is similar, etc. and they use reasonable anchor text. I would suggest you utilize rel=auth on your articles.

You can still have the article on your site as well.

Best,

Robert

Thank you for your response, excuse my ignorance but what is rel=auth ? when you say I can still have the article on my site as well, do you mean my site or my blog or would you consider them the same?

Thanks

Site/blog either or. rel=auth is markup language used to show you are the author of the content. I would detail how to setup and use, but others have long since done so:

The beauty is really in having a snippet with your pic in SERPS where your article shows up. I believe that over time it will become a trust component within the algo, but it remains to be seen.

Best

I would say both, your blog and guest post.  You want people to know that you exist, that is why guest blogging is great, because in addtion to the link, you are in front of an audience that otherwise would have never heard of you.

But...if they visit your site, you need to have useful, relevant and helpful content so your new visitors stay on your page.  Secondly, you want Google to associate your keywords to your site.

So do both, have great content on your site and write awesome guest posts.
