How do I distribute blog content?
-
Morning Mozzers!
I work for an online wedding retailer and we add new, unique, high quality content to our blogs on a daily basis. After adding the new content we Tweet it and mention it on our Facebbok page. My question is this: how can I distribute the content to generate back links? Any example sites or case studies of things you guys have done in the past would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot guys. Plenty of advice there for me to be looking at and cracking on with.

If you have a following of very interested people on twitter and facebook, you are distributing your content. If you content is great they might pass it on. However, if it is best-on-the-web the chance is much higher. Some sites have high enough content that FB and TW announcements are enough to generate links and propel their rankings with zero time spent on link hunting.
Perhaps instead of doing a daily post, work on your content for an entire week and publish something phenomenal. Look at the SEOMoz blog posts how they have many images, data, references, quotations and much more. They are not trivial content. They are kickass documents.

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/competitor-analysis-for-linkbuilding-a-guide-for-people-who-hate-linkbuilding My post on finding places to link based on your competitors backlinks (+learning the niche as you go). Asy ou go through, note the places that offer blogging or blogs
I have had a bit of success using <cite>myblogguest.com/</cite> You do have to wade through some crap from article churners but there are a few nuggets in there. I am going to try the paid subscription for a few months and see how it does
http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-finder/index.php stick your details in here and see what you get out
http://www.seomoz.org/link-finder/ stick in wedding dresses and get the contact details of those blogs and organise some cross promotion
Otherwise contact, contacts, contacts. Ask these guys if you can guest post <cite>www.secretsalons.com</cite>and get them to guest post back - they use their twitter etc to promote you
"online wedding retailer and we add new, unique, high quality content to our blogs on a daily basis" <-- Son, I am skeptic
If you are writiing content and then looking for places to seed it, then I think you're doing it the wrong way round. If your daily output isn't getting traction, do fewer posts but make them better
http://www.confetti.co.uk/ <-- this is you I guess? id stick those fb/tw buttons right at the top with a CTA & make the phone number much bigger

Been offered a no follow link on a blog post ?. Is it worth it ?
Hi All, We are having a go at doing our own link building and just wanted some advice on a couple of questions I've found some industry related blog sites which could be good but alot of them only offer a no follow link ?. Is this worth it ? And if ,so what is the advantage of having a no follow link ? as it won't directly help with our DA etc ? I've also noticed some of these sites link to each other or recommend each other (i.e other blog sites) which may be some sort of link network ?.. I take it this is bad ? and could be penalized by google ? thanks pete

Guest Blog Posting : Is that all it is made out to be?
Experts frequently mention that one of the best way to build the link is to guest blog with some authoritative blogs in your niche after Penguin, Panda and other animals invaded SEO landscape. At the same time everyone agrees that "Content is the king" and if you have unique and useful content, people would link to you without any extra efforts on your part. Do you see any contradiction in those statements? I spent my time, my resource, my genius writing up very good posts. As a matter of fact all my post are good (IMHO), but I can churn out only 2 or 3 masterpieces per month. Should I share my content willingly as a guest post to other websites who are not my local direct competitor of course, but nonetheless are in my niche, thus adding to their authority on the subject? I will get a link out of it. Would I get a significant traffic? I doubt that. At least from my limited experience. Or should I strengthen my own site striving to be such authority in my niche? But without strong external link profile Google shall frown upon me and my site. Personally I inclined more to save most of the content for my own blog. What do you gals and guys think?

Adding a directory and aggregated content to my ecommerce site
I'd like to add a directory of websites to my ecommerce site. We operate within a nice niche both in terms of products and demographics. The directory would be specific to our verifical and market. My concern is how Google will see these external links. A reciprocal link won't be required to be in our directory, but I suspect many sites would like back to us as we outreach to them with content ideas, their directory links, and as we share them with our social network on twitter and facebook. The directory would be broken down into categories so each page may have 1-20 external links on it. Our architecture already incldes category links (all internal) so these would be in additional the links you would normally see on our site. I'd also like to aggregate some content - again, mostly external links. Will Google have take poorly to that aggregation?

Content and Relevant Links
Hello, My website started to offer guest blog posting and was wondering if it is a good idea to have an anchor text link to a not relevant website in the author bio. The content the guest blogger gave me is relevant to my website but in the author bio there are a couple of anchor text links that are linking to a completly different industry. Thanks in advance for your help.

Content for links - diminishing value?
I'm offering content in return for contextual links to a number of website owners in my niche, and the up-take seems to be there. My concern is that the written piece generally won't be linked to from the homepage (i.e. blog post, featured article, etc), and so over time there's the risk that it will be lost deeper and deeper in the site's hierarchy. Is this a big issue given (I'm assuming) my content's value will diminish over time, etc. Most of the webmasters, are however happy for me to supply content sporadically. Ot is it still definitely worth progressing? Thanks.

Duplicate Content, Replicated Websites, Noindex Type Question.. Need Advice Please
So I am working for a Multi-Level Marketing Company. The members each get their own website which is a wilcard subdomain. So we have example.com (Main site) mysite.example.com (Replicated) They both are literally the same content and I have chosen to noindex, nofollow the subdomains, but as a SEO that presents a problem with linkbuilding. However, the member only gets credit (think affiliates) if the click comes from their subdomain. I don't want duplicate content penalties and I don't want the members to possibly lose out on a sale that would otherwise just be credited to the company if the link was redirected to the main site instead. Did I make the right decision?
