@Richard - Permalinks are the links from a specific post on your blog. Sometimes bloggers will quote from another blog, using the post-specific link. For instance, my blog link is http://www.seodiva.net, but the direct link (permalink) to this post is http://www.seodiva.net/2008/05/20/difference-posts-pages/.

You get “link juice” from my site when you comment on it using your URL as a link.

I have a list of directory sites here that I recommend. They are well regarded by Google.

I do not know where else to ask these questions? What does the perma link do?

What would posting the above html for the link to the blog accomplish for you or for me, on my mortgage website?

Do the above link sites help or hurt. I checked the PR on a couple, they were quite high. But I have read that link sites can sometimes be graded negatively by google and others?

@Richard - Welcome to the wonderful world of SEO!

A post is an article that is an entry in a blog. It will move down the blog as new posts are uploaded.

A page is static; sometimes a page is used as a static first page on a blog, but more often it’s used as additional content. “About the Diva” is a page.

What you left on this blog is a comment. Your link is set up properly; I know this because when I click on it, it goes to your site.

Tiny Blue Frog is interesting! I ranked myself as a 10

Just followed you over from ActiveRain, where I joined on 5/8. It has been an interesting three weeks. I have just not, with guidance from your posts, discovered how to put the PR in my google toolbar - had to upgrade first to toolbar 5.0.

Is a post and a blog the same. And pages should be updated frequently, or at least that is my understanding.

Please see if my account is set up for linking from your site property - the account link and the comments do follow link.

I hope to learn more about seo, so that I can manage the sites of my serveral LO’s, or at least give them guidance. so they can spend more time doing, and less time learning what and how to do.

I am going now to check my AR blog PR. My actual website PR is zero. At least is is ‘Not Ranked”.
BTW have you heard of tbfrog and the human page rank?

So much for posts being shorter??

@Hiren - That’s a good idea - added content.
@Dennis - Good point. Glad you found my blog - thanks for subscribing!
@Eric - The static pages should gain their own PR, which would be helpful. Usually in a blog the first page shows a PR but the individual posts don’t.
@Amy - I plan to let my readers know
@SEO Web Tips - Good point. The posts would need a 301 redirect to the new pages. I had forgotten about that - thanks!

Yeah I’m thinking of doing the same. Might be a good experiment. Generally pages tend to rank higher but the problem migth that those posts might already have an established position in search engines and I’m not sure if it is really worth it. Must think about it more.

I didn’t realize that there was a difference in how Google & Co. assessed posts vs. pages.

I hope you remember to tell us if you notice a difference in performance after you complete the experiment.

You might be on to something very helpful here.

I have tried that with some basic things that people may want to read over and over again. I do not know the seo difference however. Would like to know about pages from that angle.

Things like the purchasing process that tends not to change are good. Eric

Pages are absolutely necessary and good to have. I have several referencing different policy’s and such (offline currently for updating) and I also found a sweet plugin to make archives its own page…very handy.

Notice what I said - pages that are for reference can easily “forgotten”…as things progress, these pages may need updating from time to time, don’t forget that.

“turn a few of my more basic SEO posts into pages” sound interesting…i am also planning to write some Guides and post as page.

look forward to hear your experience later.

This is an interesting topic. I haven’t considered making pages on my blog. I, of course, have many pages on my main website, but have always thought of the blog as more of a rotating source of information. Keep us posted on your SEO findings on this approach, and thanks for getting the wheels turning in a different direction.
