if you build a blog using wordpress right on their site as a subdomain, eg. subdomain.wordpress.com, how is that affecting
seo for the site?
a good example, there is a site called stuffwhitepeoplelike, if you type their name in the url and .com, it will forward to stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress, and that is also what you see in the search engines.
is this only for people who don't want to bother with hosting and uploading wordpress into their domain, etc.? other than that what are advantages/disadvantages?
my friend wants to start a blog, and using subdomain.wordpress.com rather than his own domain name and host. as a domainer i naturally think he should do the latter. but i'm not exactly clear on how the first affects
seo and such.
anyone have thoughts on this?
