I've read that blogs are seen better by search engines, because of their continuous update.
We've tried this thing before but we've got little results.
We want to create a new blog. My main interest is to bring traffic for cratima website and new business for the company.
Before we'll decide to transform this thought into reality I have some questions.
1. Should we put the blog on Cratima 's domain name, on should I make a blog on blogspot, myspace...etc.
2. Regarding the content. We want the blog to be about new internet solution that can help new businesses. a) We can search the web, find out news, filtered them and then put the most interesting in our blog. b) We can add value to different news on the net, value from our knowledge and business.
c) Use both articles with added value and some funny stories related to the businesses.
3. How many blog administrators are necessary to make it interesting (with quality and enough information)

Thanks!

I think it would be best if you used something like word press and put the blog on your own domain name. You can then customise it to match the look and feel of your website and have links back to your main site.

Make a subdomain and call it "blog". Install WP or a similar blog script then link to it from your main page, i.e: http://blog.yourdomain.com.

I would definitely keep it on your own domain. Most cpanel hosts have Fantastico installed and that will let you install WordPress on your site very easily. Or if you don't have a cpanel host, WP is easy to install otherwise.

Thanks for the replies!
It seems to me that having the blog on Cratima 's domain name is the right choice.
What about the articles. add-value information vs digest information from other sources?
If I want to add 2 articles a day (good valuable information) should I need more than 1 administrator/editor * 8 hours a day?

thanks!
