PageRank is independent from keywords, so no, it won't be affected 2. If it is off-topic, but at least somewhat related, it can actually help you to attract traffic from new keywords 3. If it is completely off-topic and you have a significant portion of such posts, then it can delude your web sites "theme" (most search engines categorize sites internally). If you post frequently off-topic stuff, you might want to consider starting a new blog on a different domain. This is not only good for search engine optimization, but your readers as well. You can refer people via a link to your other blog, if they are interested in your off-topic writing. Also consider to weave in the off-topic stuff into on-topic posts or on-topic stuff into the off-topic posts. This can also help, allows you to include some personal stuff in your on-topic posts and making them more authentic and believable. It also helps people to connect with you on a more personal level. 1. PageRank is independent from keywords, so no, it won’t be affected
