Inbound Links from a Blog

[jclubb]

Hi there, I am looking to set up a blog to support my websites SEO with inbound links.  I was wondering if the blog being a .org would carry more weight than being a .com?  Any suggestions on this?

It sounds like you are thinking like this..... "Man, it is really hard to get links from other websites.  I just build a blog and use it to give links to my site."

The links from a blog will not pass value unless it gets links from other websites.  Then most of that value will be stuck in the blog and only a tiny amount will pass out through the links that you have to your main site.

So, if you really want to support your main site, publish the blog in a folder on the main site and fill with highly linkable content, fantastic content... then every link that hits the blog will count for the link popularity and domain popularity of your main site.

With great content the blog can be a fantastic asset on your site.  In addition to attracting links it can be a showcase of your expertise and a reference for your visitors.

Now about the .org.... it will have the same weight as a .com.  Google treats all types of domains equally.
