Thoughts on Weebly's blogging tool

5/27/2012

25 Comments

 
I have several websites hosted with Weebly, including this one. I'm really glad I found this platform, because it's so easy to use and has a blogging tool built into it. It's also pretty SEO friendly, although it can take a while for blog posts to get indexed by Google.

Sure, Weebly is no Wordpress when it comes to blogging. But it's still pretty darn good. It's as good as Blogger in my opinion -- although Blogspot blogs get indexed by Google a lot quicker, often almost immediately.

And since you're paying for the hosting, you can put your own ads on your site, and make some money. With Blogger you've got to be careful about doing this. They have been known to simply remove sites for overdoing this aspect, although a few ads here and there generally aren't a problem. Still, it's hard to know where the cut off point is. (You can make money on Blogger with Adsense and Amazon, though. They don't mind that!)

That said, you can also provoke the ire of Weebly for having too many ads. But at least you can e-mail them and ask to check that you aren't overdoing it, and they will definitely get back to you. You won't get that kind of customer service from Google -- at least not for a free service.

The great thing about the Weebly blogging tool is that it's already part of the package. You just set up your domain and get cracking. And from what I can tell blogging really does seem to help that main domain SEO-wise. I've repeatedly observed that in the weeks after writing several blog posts I not only get more long tail keyword search traffic to those individual posts, but the traffic to my main domain tends to rise a little as well. I think this is because Google is rewarding the website for including fresh material -- for having a pulse, so to speak. (I assume this phenomenon applies regardless of the web host. Just another good reason to add a blog to your website, no matter how you do it.)

The other thing is that new Weebly sites get indexed automatically before too long. That is, you don't actually have to tweet your new URL or create some backlink elsewhere to alert Google to its existence.

I suspect this is because the search engine is looking though Weebly itself pretty regularly, and so it will catch those new websites built on it. This probably happens with all big website hosts these days. Still, it's good to know.

Weebly makes it fairly straightforward to optimize your site on a site wide and page by page basis from within it's Editor Settings UI. Weebly also recommends using Google webmaster tools. Fair enough, if you're an experienced content writer you'll probably have made a site with good key word density. But if you use the tools available for SEO, you will get indexed quickly. That's our experience for our Weebly services clients, anyway. Do check out these tools.

Well I also agree that Weebly provides great stuff for optimizing a website but It is not concentrating one of major thing in SEO that is it always provides Dofollow links for anchor text which passes extra link juice to other pages and this causes Weebly not getting priorities as it deserve.

Can you give us a little more detail - maybe a real world example of your "anchor text" scenario?

Hi there,
Thanks for the info on blogs. How do you deal with duplicate content though? The blog seems to create multiple urls just for one post (archive, categories, comments). I wonder if I should set up a canonical to increase link juice? Or is it better to just go with it? Does every individual blog get indexed by Google despite the fact that it has the same content as the top part of the main blog site? I already tried setting up a 301 redirect but then people can't leave comments. You can see what I mean here:

Thanks for any ideas!

Plagiarism is a growing problem in academia and the work place. The internet has made it easy for nearly anyone to copy written material and pass it off as their own work.

Owning a business is a very tiring profession because of all of the the things you need to be able to manage. When you run your own business you need to know where everything is, what is going on, and how everyone is doing. You also need to have a clear idea of how to improve your business.
