How to promote a Squidoo lens post Penguin?
-
Hello,
Can someone advice what the best way is to promote a Squidoo lens post Penguin?
Thank you

Wow, Joel, Keith, Shane, thank you for your interesting contribution!

agree completely

The point is that for seo value ezines and squidio and hubpages aren't as valueble as they used to be. If done perfectly and not spammy you can get some small value out of it but I wouldn't make it the foundation of your seo work. What I would do is maybe write 1-2 articles for each that have solid content and promote them on various social networks so that people can see you have published writing in different sites and that can have multiple benefits. If you write only for your site then people will assume no one wants your work, if you write for multiple sites even the web 2.0 sites people will believe you offer something valuable. That being said I would focus on Guest Blogging on sites that are similar to yours. This will accomplish most of your goals. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Your right, sorry.

Author rank is based on social (amongst many others), so gaining positive social signals would be elevation of author exposure. Just because a site has a bad reputation, does not mean it does not contain the recipes for exposure...
I think you are confusing backlinks or PR with Social Signals that go along with author rank and the signals of content relevance it takes into consideration, and how as the spectrum becomes more crowded, the smallest of differences will affect ranking (much like PR and Backlins does now amongst others)
So in essence we are talking about two different things, squidoo is not a backlink building tool, but it is an exposure building tool, or can be.
Cool you trust a SEO figure over someone youve never heard of that was quite a burn, man you have a razor sharp wit....

I would trust Danny over you any day LOL
Author Rank from Squidoo? Add in Ezine and ArticleBase too huh? LOL
See ya 'round LOL
-
LOL thaks for the SEO advice....
Author rank has nothing to do with SEO?
And we all know, that every word a guru says is totally true always LOL =p
LOL and gaining traffic WOULD be a part of SEO, as well as targeting longtail queries for a site with current low authority to gain indirect exposure...
There are many out of the box purposes to SEO, than just "gaining links"
-
Seems to me, the question was based on SEO (hence the "post Penguin" part in the op's question)
I would refer you to a recent Tweet by Danny Sullivan: https://twitter.com/dannysullivan/status/208311374101745664
If you are using it for it's intended purpose, that's one thing, but if you are using it for SEO... complete waste of time.
-
I would completely disagree - It depends on the quality of the article placed and the intention...
If your intention is to use squidoo, as it is supposed to be, then you can make a tiny bit of income, while also gaining traffic. (and depending on the quality/relevance in some cases semi valuable backlinks or author exposure)
The best way to promote squidoo, is socially in my opinion.
Now would i spend any money, or a lot of time and energy on squidoo? No, but it CAN be a valuable resource in you arsenal if used correctly as it is intended.
But as i said, it all boils down to intent, on its level of effectiveness... (basically if you are trying to use it to pad your link profile with low end crap, then you will be wasting your time, but if you write knowledgeable, helpful articles about relevant topics that people actually want to read about, you can get some good longtail exposure and author exposure)
-
No offense, but I would ignore Squidoo, and any other article directory type site....

Anyone have experience using Quuu Promote
Hi All, Do any of you have thoughts on this new content amplification platform? I saw it come through the App Sumo feed. I'm mainly wondering if anyone has any experience regarding link building with this service. Edited: Aug 25. After watching the video on how to use the Q&A (https://mza.bundledseo.com/help/guides/qa-overview/asking-question-qa) I thought I would make clear that I don't work for Quuuu. I work for a non-profit magazine publisher. I'm simply curious. Seeing that there have been no responses makes me think that perhaps I should pass on this platform. Thanks!

Facebook Share Percentage - On Blog Posts
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a way to give each post we are creating a quality status. Since bounce rate on this case isn't really a viable option (Blog Behavior) since people could stay 10 mins reading it and then go elsewhere without interacting. I'm looking for a way to focus on facebook sharing, lets say something simple like "Facebook Shares / Sessions" per each blog post, while I can have an idea on my own data, lets say my highest is 4.1% of all people that go to that post end it up sharing it. But I wonder on average what would you consider a good engagement post, what would that percentage might be? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone seen a Blog post from LinkedIn's new Blog feature appear in SERP's?
This feature, prior to Feb. 2014 was only available to high profile users, or influencers, like Bill Gates. Now it is available to all LinkedIn users and extends the reach to LinkedIn groups and your own network. Anyone know if there's an SEO benefit? Thanks in advance.

What percentage of linking root domains is safe for guest posting
Hello, From what I've been experiencing and learning lately, link building seems to be good only in moderation and content marketing - stellar targeted authoritative content - attracting links and pushing it on social channels seems to be much safer. My question is, high quality guest posting - quality sites with good anchor text profile 3+ PR (hopefully more) and one link back from the body of the content to the home page or an article you're pushing - seems good but only in moderation. For high quality guest posting, what would you recommend our percentage of linking root domains to allocating to guest posting. I'm looking for a safe percentage that will hopefully not get devalued any time soon, and any additional advice on making this a good long term balanced strategy. Thanks.

Google+ Doesn't Show my Post Title
When I create a new blog post and link to it on Google+, the thumbnail & description are correct, but the HTML title it pulls in is just the company name. I have the proper HTML title tag and OpenGraph tagging on the page too, but lately (last 3 posts) it just shows company name: Here's an example. It used to work on the first handful of posts, but the last 3 or 4, it just show the "Company Name" next to the thumbnail image & above the description. <title>Some blog post title - Company Name</name></p> <p>...</p> <p>...</p> <p><span><meta </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">property</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">og:title</span><span>' </span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-name">content</span><span>='</span><span class="webkit-html-attribute-value">Some blog post title - Company Name</span><span>'/></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

Same posts on facebook and google+. Is this a problem?
I plan to publish same posts on facebook and google+. As they are in 10 different languages, I would rather not make modifications for facebook and google+ respectively. Do you see any problems with this? Do you think it matters whether I first publish on google+ or first on facebook? Any problem if I publish posts on one social media account which I already published in another social media account for another company of mine some months ago? thanks
