Yoga West blog has moved!
June 17, 2008Sat Nam Everyone!
Yoga West blog has moved to a new site! (that is http://blog.yogawest.ca) For the Yogeeks out there, you know that this will give us more control over the look and feel of the site, and make the SEO (search engine optimization) easier and more logical if our blog is attached to our site!
For all the rest of you – the site will be pretty much exactly the same, we have taken all the old posts with us, so you can still take trips down memory lane every so often.
Remember to delete any old rss feeds you have, and replace them with the new ones – just click the rss feed for posts and comments at the bottom of the sidebar.
See you all there!

Hi. I just saw this post and took a look at your new blog. I thought I could offer you a bit of advice…
You mention in this post that moving your blog to your site makes SEO easier. Congratulations! That’s definitely the case.
I’d go so far as to recommend that you move it to a subfolder of your website, as opposed to using a subdomain — http://www.yogawest.com/blog vs blog.yogawest.com.
The search engines see subdomains as separate websites, so any backlinks you get to your blog will not necessarily benefit your main website.
By putting your blog into a subdirectory of your main site, any backlinks to your blog posts will count towards your main site’s overall link popularity.
I realize that you’ve just completed the changeover, but I’d recommend this change as something to consider. At this point in time, it doesn’t look like the new blog location has been spidered by the search engines, so now would be the best time to change it over.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and I wish you all the best with your blog!
Best regards,
John Rodriguez
