What would you do with unqiue articles?
-
Hi,
If you had 10 articles which are unqiue and around 400 - 600 words what would you do with them?
I personally would more then likely put on squidoo, wordpress, blogger, weebly, hub pages etc and orientate the setup of these around my target keyword so the title tags, urls, h1's and content are around the term and then place anchor text links (2 of them) in the content of each one.
I would then social bookmark each on the top 10 sites.
Because it takes so long for me to write the content I sometimes think would it be best to put on the onsite blog.
What would others do with this content, is there something else I could do with it that would have a great impact on rankings?

I agree with EGOL. When people say that your best content belongs on your website, I always ask myself - why are you spending time creating content that isn't your best? Whether you intend to put an article on your website or use it for a guest post opportunity, you owe it to yourself to only put your name on the best quality work you can produce. You'll create way more opportunities for yourself down the road as you start to be seen as an expert in your niche.

What I would do with them depends upon their quality.
If they are best-on-the-web for their topic I would post on my own site and recruit links into them.
If they are less than best-on-the-web for their topic I would improve them.
If they are really bad I would offer them to a competitor.

agree on the spinning. That word really has a black hat rep, i prefer to say "re-write". I have in-house content writers and myself, so its a tactic will utilized but closely monitored.
Link wheels are like link building. Most services are bad and spammy, but every once in a while, you find some decent ones. I have used one called PostRunner before, and they turn out some decent article & blog posting service.

mmm I know of both these methods and they kind of lean into the dark arts if you know what I mean.
The first one I would not do purely because I would be worried I had not spun the article enough but its till a known method just not for me.
Second one is interesting because I have heard pros and cons on link wheels, I have to admit mostly bad but some good.

I would do a couple of things:
1. Spin the articles for your own on-site blog. Although many SEOs look down on article spinning, a good article spun by a good source (even yourself) can double the content. That way you have something to still put on your site's blog, ans have something to marketing with that is not duplicate content.
2. Find a good link wheel service that will take your article and put then up on relevant blogs and social sites. (similar to what gianpeach said)

Yeap that is a very good option as well, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

What about writing a guest post for a decent related site?

Handling External links to articles in a blog
I have a blog that has it's own articles but then also want to feature third-party sites that have my op-ed content on them. Wondering what is the best practice for handling external links. The reason we want to do this: Make sure our followers and people who subscribe to our blog see all our content (especially when a third-party "high authority" publisher is featuring articles from our authors We also want to be able to get a ranking for the article title when someone searches for it on Search Engines. i.e I write an article for hubspot called "my article about something". When googling "my article about something" I want to see both the Hubspot listing (where my article originated on) as well as a link to my website where I show an abstract (original abstract) and then the link links to the hubspot article. For example: www.myblog.com/listing (renders a listing of articles with links to each individual article) If showing an "abstract" for the blog article and then linking out to the third-party source (where content is featured) www.myblog.com/category/post-title (renders actual article page) When showing an individual post-title page what are the minimum requirements (META TAGS, length or amount of characters ,etc) Thanks in advance!

Why articles submitted to squidoo not indexed by google
Hi, I have written a few articles and uploaded to squidoo/hubpage last month and they have been accepted and I can see the links in the articles. But they dont appear in the latest link report from Google Webmaster Tools. Is it because it's delay or Google simply wont treat them as valid links? Thanks

Great Article - Where do i publish it
I have just completed a great article (relating to advertising). I have a predicament, where do I post it? Do I contact sites related to the industry with high pr's and authority, to see if they want to feature the article? This will provide great anchor text links from the high pr site in question. Or do i submit to article directories? Or do i simply place the article on my site, and get people to link to it? I need help!!!! Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm a newbie (I'm sure you can tell)

UK article websites
Hello world 🙂 I'm looking for good UK article websites that are allowing anchor text links. Something like Ezine Aticles ... I found the SEOMoz 400top directories, but I'm searching for something that will give to me anchor text links. It doesn't matter if the directories have strict moderation, actually it's better, I'm not using spinner or anything similar. Thanks.

Duplicate content when uploading articles on other websites
Hi, We regularly write articles on our website and then submit them to different websites with link backs or sometimes without link backs. If google crawls these websites and our website, will it penalise us for duplicate content? Does it make a difference if we put link back to our site or not? If Google sees it as duplicate content, what should we do as a solution? Thanks
