I appreciate your patience and thoughtfulness. I'm fairly familiar with the installation and technical differences between a the .com/.org flavors of wordpress (even though I try to play down my technical side). I was really just trying to get some insights as to whether moving our current integralgis.wordpress.com blog (which is just getting started) to our own domain at integralgis.com is the best move; or, should we just keep building the integralgis.wordpress.com site up with content; or, should we map the subdomain to blog.integralgis.com with respect to PR, link juice, etc. We are in a niche market and we could use all of the web hits and traffic we could get. Anyway, I'm getting the sense that this is a complex question that doesn't offer itself to a simple answer, so I'll look for some local help on it. Again, thank you for the thoughts and take care.

Please read this entry so you are crystal clear on the differences between free hosted wordpress.com blogs on this multi=user blogging platform and free standing wordpress.ORG software installs http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ 1. Wordpress.COM blogs cannot be embedded into websites. WordPress.ORG installs can be embedded into websites. This is where you get a free WordPres.ORG install from http://wordpress.org/ 2. The hosting requirements for WordPress.ORG installs are as follows: To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things: * PHP version 4.3 or greater * MySQL version 4.1.2 or greater That’s really it. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. 3. Re: a higher PageRank 5 is a very respectable PageRank and PageRanks higher than 5 are extremely difficult to attain without an SEO expert who of course one has to pay and listen to. I have no advice to offer with regard to your final paragraph because I do not know why you or your company wants to have a blog. What purpose do you expect this blog to serve? @integralgis

I read the banter/discussion between you and raincoaster and a few others on Wordpress.com about the SEO implications and value of having your own domain name, hosting your own WP site, and/or having it on wp.com. The company that I'm with has its own domain and site with Network solutions for around 10 years. It has a PR of 5 and has been a static site with just directions and some project reviews. I'm looking to add a blog, which I've started at wp.com and had planned on porting it to our .com site and servers. But we have a legacy 2003 MS server platform that doesn't work well with PHP or MySQL (that is what the techs are telling me). I'm not technical, but the result I would like to see is higher pagerank for the overall site and SEO traffic. So finally the question: what are your thoughts on moving the blog to our own site versus just leaving it on WP.com and; secondly, should it be a domain.wordpress.com blog or should we map the subdomain.domain.com?
