Blog Link Discussion

[David]

I see Mark has used www.smithsblog.com for his blog. I see everybody else
use a different form such as http://floristblogs.com/blogs/avant_gardens or their domain / blog. Any reason for one over the other?
I was asked in my store why would we want to link to other florists from our blog? I thought it would help ranking, perhaps others could say why it's good.

Always a good idea to use a different domain name, since it will count as an incoming link to your main site.

David, I too have a FloristBlogs URL, but it's a mouthfull to tell someone and print out. Thus the smithsblog.com URL, and like Ryan said it's another link.

Linking to other florists builds everyone credibility and page rank.
