OK!

One more querry i have is that our news section (http://dressedtoatee.typepad.com/) is run through typepad and we then link it to our site.

We have quite a lot of traffic on this part of the site but obviously it is hosted by typepad and not us.

So does it help our search rankings in terms of the traffic visiting it, or because its not actually our site, but merely linked to it, is its affect minimal?

I guess if a visitor goes from our front page to it, then they count as they have visited our site, but if a person just looks at the typepad bit then they don't count as having visited our site, and so won't affect our ranking.

Do you see what i mean?
