However, you need to ensure that your entry on Ecademy is real content – no keyword stuffing for instance. If your entry is not useful it can be removed by Ecademy staff. Even if it is allowed, Google will not see your site as important if your blog entry isn't focused on what your site is about. But if you post entries onto Ecademy which are directly related to your web site you will see search engine benefits.

Furthermore, you'll also see many people visit your site as a direct result of your link in Ecademy blog. So, don't just think of blogging on your own site; add your blog postings to Ecademy as well.

A blog which is an online journal won't help your site's search engine ranking because content isn't that relevant to focus of your site. An online journal style of blog is unlikely to have keywords in entries.

What this means is that your blog needs to contain hints, tips and short articles. It can contain summaries of articles which are carried in full on other pages. In short, your blog needs real, valuable content.

If you add real content to your blog pages, at very least a couple of times a week, you will notice your blog gaining interest by search engines. You will also see that your blog becomes a much more important 'entry point' for people who visit your web site. That's an indication that your blog page is gaining ground in search engine rankings. And that will be due to its regular updating.
