Having two blogs or one?

[kevinbp]

Wordpress.com and Blogspot.com both have high page authority.

Naturally i want to have a blog that talks about my website.
And the aim is to create back links to my website.

Q: So do I create two blogs and separate my content or should i concentrate on a single blog? Which is better for getting SEO backlink juice?

While they as a whole have high page authority, when you create a sub domain blog on them, it does not get the same.  You should worry about creating good content on your site instead of making free blogs to put content onto to then push to your site.  Your best bet would be to set up a blog onto your website so that you can have new, relevant content being consistently added to your site.

We agree with Hutch42.

You'll get the most out of your blog if you set it up as: www.domain.com/blog

Happy blogging!

I agree with Hutch42 and RangeMarketing. In most cases, the best practice for SEO is to create a self-hosted blog under the same domain as your main business website, if applicable. There's no reason to create more than one website (or blog) to achieve the same purpose. It dilutes your link equity (juice).

Creating a separate blog for the purpose of creating a bunch of links back to your website could be seen as spammy and cause more harm than good. There are much more effective ways to get links to your website with good quality content and digital PR.
