I want to build a blog for several reasons.
1 RSS feeds are easier using a blog than doing them from my website.
2 I want to drive traffic to my website.
3 While I may sell some products, via Adsense, it will primarily be a site that focuses on articles and information.
4 There will be a link from my website to my blog.
I thought Wordpress would be my best choice, but ran into many problems with them. First, they wanted me to enable cookies, which I did, but I still could not get in. Somehow, I overcame this problem and did build a blog. However, it was banned due to a violation of terms, apparently because I had more than six links back to my website. I tried building a new blog with them and ran into the cookie problem again. At this point I still can not get in, even after enabling cookies again.
Here is what my blog was like. First, html linking was available, but I do not know html, so this was a problem from the beginning. I discovered I could copy and paste any of my website that I wanted and the internal and external links were accessible from my Wordpress blog, so I made a few changes to some of my text and pasted it into my blog. It was then possible to go to my website directly from my blog. Since I wrote the articles myself, I also copied and pasted in the “About the Author” section. All of the anchor text sent people back to articles, sales pages and external links. I used the page set up in such a way that each page in my blog was an article from my website. The anchor text worked to send people back to my website. I only had ten articles, so I would not think that I used up too much storage.
I don't know much about blogging, but would what I did be a violation of terms for most blog sites? If so, then is anchor text of no use on blogs?
Finally, is there a blog that you can recommend where I can do what I described? I am not planning to completely duplicate my website on a blog, but the keywords are set up effectively, so I would like to use these articles and some segments of the home page.
I would like a blog that is search engine friendly, does not require html for links, has easy RSS feed promotion and will allow unlimited links back to my website. I also do not want all this trouble with cookies. Do you have any suggestions?
