Blog or News - Which is better for SEO ?

Recently I started using the Blog module to post articles about products that we manufacture (see link below)
http://www.hammersmith.com.au/_blog/latest_news
At the time of setting it up, I had a choice of using this module or the News module (known as "Announcements" back then). I went with the Blog module as I felt it suited me better, particularly with the opportunity for "comments" to hopefully play a part in increasing awareness of my products.
One of my main aims of posting blog articles was to increase my SEO ranking by writing articles with key words that are relevant to products that we sell in our online shop.
The "comments" side of the blog has attracted zero interest (apart from spammers !), so I am starting to think that it may be better in the future to use the News module, as it seems to provide more flexibility with controlling page titles and descriptions, which is important for SEO.
I would appreciate any advice from the community in this matter.
Cheers, Wyatt.

I think that these 2 modules are pretty equal when it comes to SEO. However, if you control page titles in news you may want to use that module. Also, they have better URLs. The URL doesn't have /_blog/ in it and can be customised.
That said, if you have an established blog already you can simply remove the comment form from the individual post layout and leaev the blog as is.

  • XML or MySQL Database: Which is Better for SEO

    Hi,
    I've got a Flex 3 trivia game site, www.brainpinata.com. I load questions and answers from a database. Unfortunately, Google doesn't index content from a db as I understand it.
    Would it be better for SEO, if I loaded the content from an XML file? Would Google index more of the content? Or would it make no difference?
    Thank you.

    Hi there,
    Well, As Is you wont have a Sh....Show in Hell to be noticed in any Search. Below some of the code on your site !
    I can't see a TITLE ??? DESCRIPTION is writen as Keywords with commas and two full stops, but should be a sentence or two or three DESCRIBING what you are intent of doing (with the site) which would than go under 'Extract'.
    These would be Key phrases NOT Key words:
    multiple  choice trivia questions, online trivia games,
    URL: http://www.brainpinata.com/#view=15
    Title:
    Description: Play fun trivia games. Interesting quizzes. Smart Trivia. Smashing Fun.
    Keywords: trivia, trivia questions, trivia games,  photo trivia, quiz, questions, online trivia, trivia quiz, multiple  choice trivia questions, online trivia games, games, trivia quizzes,  fun, learn, test, cats, geography

    MCITP is an older certification so MCSE in theory is better as it's newer and focused on the latest technologies. Given this, MCSE would be better for your career.

    Which is better for doing animation? Flash 4, 5, MX, CS, or
    others?
    I am used to using brush function more conveniently in Flash
    4 than the other versions I ve tried. However, Flash 4 doesn't have
    pen tool.

    all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
    like the GUI much
    more than other versions...

  • Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

    Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

    The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
    on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
    The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
    specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
    low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
    it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
    a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
    Good luck!

  • Which is better for education iPad or Macbook air?

    I am a grade 8 student and I walk around quite a bit in school and I would like to know which one is better for me?
    Which is better for school, and no I can not get the discount.
    Macbook Air or
    iPad
    If macbook Air which size and specs would you reccomend?
    And if iPad which storage option, white or black do you reccomend?
    And should I buy the iPad 2 or the new one.

    Great question.
    Word processing for iOS is fantastic, but not as good for citations and things as on the macbook air, though footnotes will be preserved.
    The new textbook options on ipad are compelling. You should find out if any of your school textbooks are on there by searching the itunes store. If so, ipad is your choice.
    They are different categories of products. the macbook air is an excellent computer.
    But I guess I feel this way -- why don't you buy a desktop for the home. and an ipad for school? If you feel you can get all of your notetaking, paper drafts etc. done on ipad, then you can use mountain lion (coming out this summer) to keep it all in sync when you go home.
    I do have to warn you that I tried taking my ipad to work. If you use google docs at all, you may find some limitations sometimes. If you stick within the icloud universe, (pages, keynote, and numbers), you may be mostly happy.

  • Which is better for gaming and why?

    Hi,
    I was researching budget gaming laptops(around $1000, INR 55000) and came up with two choices.....
    1)HP Pavilion g6z-1d00 Notebook PC
    http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/A2B39AV?HP-Pavilion-g6z-1d0...
    2)HP Envy 14-2130nr Notebook PC
    http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/QE295UA?HP-ENVY-14-2130nr-Noteb...
    Could anybody please tell me which is better for gaming (main purpose and best performance)?
    The HP Envy looks great but I don't know much about AMD Quad Core.....
    Also, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on the HP Envy ( AMD Radeon 6630 to a better one) via a HP centre?
    It seems to run most games quite well, but I need it to be able to play new games for at least 4 years more (college), while not factoring in the costs for any possible graphics card upgrade....
    Please help!!

    Thanks Huffer _ very useful.
     I wasn't aware that there was a heat problem with the i7 processors, my dv8 runs at around 42 to 52 degrees, mind you I don't really put it under much load. I use it to play Blu-ray ISO files on my projector and for photo editing (Adobe CS4), it's an 820QM.
     I have also changed the thermal compound to ICDiamond and drilled holes in the speaker cover to improve air flow, that made a difference too.
     @ abhishekmaha
     Don't take my comment to seriously, although I think it has some truth to it, it was meant to poke a bit of fun at you. 
     Heat has always been one of the biggest factors when it comes to any computer, designers try to make them thinner, lighter and cheaper and those types don't work for gaming very well. They're OK for the occasional one, but not on a regular basis. I believe that if you game on any machine that was not meant for it, you will not get 4 years out of it _ 2 years.
     I wish I could tell you different, but I am not going to lie to you.
     Heat basically affects 3 things on a laptop, the solder that holds the components on the motherboard, any mechanical moving parts, eg the hard drive, fan _ and the battery. You can remove the battery to prolong its life when gaming.
     Heat breaks down the solder over time and the mother board simply stops working as far as the hard drive, it stops spinning because the tiny bearing(s) in there dry out and seize up.
     If you don't want to use a cooling mat then prop up the back of the laptop, hanging it over the edge of the table will expose the fan intake, but will block off other vents.
     60 degrees is a bit warm too, 50 is better or rather, the cooler the better. What ever machine you get, make a note of what the temps are when you first boot up and when it's hot. The idea is to get an average so you can judge when it is dangerously getting hot.
     P.S. Be sure and give Huffer a kudos too.

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial &amp; overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

  • Which is better for solving Mac issues

    I have been experiencing Kernel Panics and program crashes. I want something that is good for testing hardware and OS issues. Can either of these find corrupted data files? I am looking at two utilities for purchase. Which is better for solving Mac Issues?
    TechTool Pro
    or
    Disk Warrior?

    When you say "complete bootable backup" do you mean that it contains the OS + all my applications? Basically a clone of the start-up?
    Yes, you have that very clear. I use Tri-backup or CCC for this normally, but there are other options.
    If I have this clone, and I start getting issues on my Mac, I can Zero the HD and reinstall the OS via the clone (including all the applications)?
    Yes, and if pressed for time you can just keep working off the Clone.
    I can Zero the HD and reinstall the OS via the clone (including all the applications)?
    Yep, right back to 100%, excluding HW issues.
    With all my software... it takes a day to reinstall all of it to a complete image.
    Yes, the only sensible thing is a Clone... or two. Most problems can be overcome by simply Verifying/Repairing the HD once in awhile, Repairing Permissions before and after every update/upgrade, and turning off Auto Updates in SW Update CP... wait a couple of weeks and check these forums for the number of problems with any update.
    PS. DiskWarrior has saved me hundreds of times from having to do complete new Installs or cloning back of Installs, I figure that's saved me 10's of thousands of hours & grief... I appreciate Alsoft so much that I don't even go for the generous upgrade offers on new versions... I just buy the new version completely at Retail.
    PPS. Funny thing, you'll read something like DiskWarrior is a one Pony Dog Show or something... just does one thing... I just have to laugh outloud... Yeah, the one thing is... cure my incurable Mac Problems 99.9% of the time!

    Hi! Both and neither. Diskwarrior is the undisputed king of disk drive directory repair (which is the leading cause of drive problems)but that's all it does. TTP does directory repair although not as good as DW but TTP has a hardware test suite to test the components and can test a disk for bad blocks. I recommend both although you'll find yourself using DW the most. If you bought your machine new you should have a hardware test disk. It could be a separate disk or on one of the restore disks. As for your KP's start by disconnecting everything except the keyboard and mouse. Ram is also a likely culprit as can be a video card. The console log file will often give you a hint of the offending item. DR SMOKES article on KP's will also help. Tom

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..

    Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

    Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.

    In view of the fact that there are numerous applications that run properly while creating a lot of internal heat in a MBP indicates that it does not follow that heat is an inhibiting factor (within designed parameters).  Thus my comment is certainly not opion, rather fact.  You certainly are entitled to your reply but a third party reader should be be apprised of what the facts are.
