Thank you simon, i will watch that now and have a read. I have been interested about videos but not really got a clue on how to edit etc. I have bought myself a podcast setup, which i bought for myself and my daughter who is at college, so i will start to learn that and see how that goes.

Hi Diane
There's an awesome White Board Friday video by Rand entitled 'Article Marketing + Submission for SEO' which is well worth a view, seems like it will provide some useful ideas and suggestions for you with your article marketing.
It is a real shame to be giving high quality topical content away to other sites that benefits those sites but not your own. There are ways to address this issue, such as:
- being really selective over the sites you distribute your content to and insisting that they provide a link back for the privilege of using your content (though not always an easy task granted)
- guest blogging instead of writing so many articles
- producing different types of content such as Infographics that are generally more likely to provide a link back to you
- consider some Video content which other sites would want to embed on their site
Also, Google's Search Plus Your World (and an SEOmoz post here) is worth reading up on and viewing the video. Ensure that your website has the Publisher link between your website's pages and your Google+ profile. Also ensure that your articles link to your Author page (about you page) on your website and that that page links to your Google+ profile with an Author link.

by trade i am a professional writer and have wrote books as well as articles and i also use to have my own glossy magazine.
The hours i work at the moment trying to create a brand for my sites is from 6am in the morning till around 12 midnight and i work six days out of seven.
If you have the knowledge then it is not a problem in writing them. I have been asked in the past to write for different sites where i would have earned a very good revenue per week for a lot less hours, but my aim is to get my sites up there and working properly and creating readers.
The articles are quality as that is not a problem. The problem is, the articles that i have been writing are not getting linked back to my site because they are taking away the part that says who it has been writen by and the link address

Diane,
40 articles a day sounds kind of high for developing quality articles that are the types that people would want to link to. I know some people who work 40 hours or more on a single post -- but then that post gets links, views, comments, etc. for years to come.
You may want to rethink quality vs quantity on posts, and spend more time on fewer posts.

Thank you for the support on here. I have to say that i am shocked by the comment made by the person who i do not feel is worth mentioning. I am very knew to all this and read a lot and i was always taught that if you want to learn then you should read, listen and ask lots of questions.
There is a saying, no question is a stupid question unless you think it is stupid yourself.
I write lots of articles daily not just on my sites but also on lots of article sites to try and gain a reputation.
I find with the article sites that i am having loads of my articles put around the net on lots of different sites each day but they do not add the link or name to the article which makes me feel i could be wasting my time.
I am looking at ways to increase my brand as well as increasing my page authority.
I write on average around 40 articles a day, some for my sites and some for article sites but with the negative responce i am getting from article sites and i am now considering just keeping the articles for my own site but as i have read, there are thousands of sites that have great content that are updated daily but get no where and that is because they do not have the link juice or page authority. and i do not want to make this mistake.
I do not want to write lots of great content and then have only a small amount of people read it.

Antonio, if you could please just offer answers without the added barbs at other users or their methods, we'd really appreciate that. You may want to review our etiquette page at http://www.seomoz.org/dp/blog-disclaimer for more information about our community philosophy. Thanks so much!

Thank you for highlighting the rudeness of that Post Alan

Antonio
I don't know you, I find you extremely rude and mis-informed. I take offence to your comments which I do interpret as offensive.
If you actually read the words that were written, you'd see that 'actively doing something about building links' that you correctly mention, is covered in my answer.
In the first paragraph ('distribute authoritive content' which is link building) in the second paragraph, quite obviously, and again in the final paragraph with another mention of 'distributing it well'.
There is no place for rudeness and personal attacks here in this community and I hope you are removed from it before you offend anybody else.

Many new comers to SEO have a simular attitude as you, I mean buildmyrank.com and fiver.com is about as low quality as you can go. Have you not heard of the panda updates, have you not read Matt Cutts on article posting?
My advice, edit your post and remove your embarrassing advice before others see it, and dont try to be rude, even those that do know what thea are talking about should avoid being rude.
As for 126 #1’s, I don’t think you understand the aim of SEO, its not to get as many #1s as you can, it’s to get traffic that you can convert to money.
Tell me when you have #1 for “Real Estate California”, and making money.by the way is this your company website?
And you personal web site
http://www.bravotiger.com/Which one do you have the 126 #1s on?

Under the 'no panacea' category, Simon and Alan are right. Authority means just that and the best way to become one and hence give your website some is to display it online. It's hard and time consuming but it's the only method that builds and lasts.

You're welcome

Thank you for the advice.

Get links from relevant websites, with high authority. Its hard to do, hard to fake, hard to manipulate, but if you create good content, sooner of later you will earn them.
-
Hi Diane, it all starts with Content.
To increase the authority of your pages and website overall, you'll need to create and distribute Authoritive content on the topics that are appropriate for your site/business.
With this authoritive content, you'll likely get some natural inbound links from other authoritive websites in your categories, which will help for sure.
So focus on high quality, interesting, unique, valuable authoritive content, distribute it well and you'll start to see your Authoritiveness increase. Tools are for research, measurement and analysis, focus on the Content and the Distribution of it.
Regards, Simon

Unsolved Blog archive pages in Craw Error Report
Hi there, I'm new to MOZ Pro and have a question. My scan shows Archive pages as having crawl issues, but this is because Yoast is set up to block robots on these pages. Should I be allowing search engines to crawl these pages, or am I fine to leave them as I have it set up already? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Duplicate pages coming from links from the login page - what should we do about them?
This is a follow on to an earlier question which was well answered by Dirk Ceuppens regarding abnormal crawl issues. We are seeing that the issues relating to Duplicate Pages are coming from links from the login page which shows information about where the user was redirected from. For example, if the visitor is not logged on and wishes to wish-list an item, they will be redirected to the login page, with the item code and intended action in the url; which can then continue on to the desired page once logged on. The MOZ crawler is seeing these pages as having Duplicated Content whilst they are all the same apart from a piece of information in the URL. Should we be blocking these duplications? Are they a risk to us? What should we be doing? Many thanks, Sarah

Inherited a site - no progress being made, no authority?
Hi all, would really appreciate some input on this one. I've been given the task of optimising a website which was built by another company. It's a Wordpress site using Jigoshop. It wasn't in the best of states, and I don't claim that it is now, though we've done quite a bit of work on it. However, after months of work on it, I feel it's not going anywhere. Naturally my customer wants to see results, and they're not getting much. I've submitted the website to a couple of highly regarded directories, and I believe it's listed on some speciality directories (Asian clothing directories). I've also started them on the task of blogging, and I'm trying to get them involved with guest blogging. There's a DA of 1, OSE reports No Data Available for this URL. The Competitive Domain Analysis shows no links at all. I could understand if I started the campaign last week, but we got going in around January this year. One thing that's crossed my mind is that it's quite a slow-loading website. It's with GoDaddy on some cheap hosting plan (not my doing!!). I understand loading times can affect results - could this be the case? It's a bit disheartening really, because we've had really good success with a lot of local businesses' websites but with this one we just can't seem to get it anywhere! 😞 If anyone could shine a bit of light I'd really appreciate it. The URL is bangle-box.co.uk. Thanks in advance!

Campaign. Only 1 page is crawled
I have a campaign setup a couple weeks ago and noticed that only 1 page has been crawled. Is there something I need to do to get all pages crawled?

What could cause your Domain Authority score to drop?
We have 3 websites that are on 3 different campaigns. Our flagship website is www.cannontrading.com. The Domain Authority score on it was 42. When I first (Mid November 2012) started, we had 295 keywords allocated for Cannontrading.com and 5 other keywords for allocated to our other websites... e-futures.com and e-mini.com. What I wanted to do was optimize the other two pages and I did this by taking taking 50 the keywords that were not ranked in the top 50 from Cannontrading.com and assigned them to the our other two sites. Could this have caused the drastic drop in the score? Our keyword rankings for the "Top 3" has dropped from 93 to 34 since November 2012. We did have a company that did article submissions for us up till October 2012. Could this have caused our drop in the Domain Authority Score and our Keyword Rankings? I didn't make any other changes to Cannon website beside taking away those keywords and given them to our other sites. Any suggestions or thoughts would really help me. Regards, David

Pass Page LinkJuice? Or Pass Keyword LinkJuice?
I have a popular page that is not one of the three pages that I am hoping to raise awareness of (want to focus on). The dilemma I am trying to understand is that I really don't want to encourage all the flow from the popular to ONE of my hopeful pages (focus pages). Rather, I want to focus the keyword portions of that page to help the three hopeful pages. So I consider the rel=canonical tag.... err no. rel=canonical would pass ALL my popular page link juice to ONE of my three hopeful pages. What's the best way to pass the keyword link juice relevant to each of my three hopeful pages their, um, portion, of the popular page link juice. I'm white hat by preference. All four pages are good legitimate landing pages, and of course I dread sabotaging the popularity of what is working. Suggestions? Advice?

Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls
I would like to ask for the possible problem plus solution on one of our campaigns. Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls. Before the last two crawls, SEOmoz crawls numerous pages and we can’t think of a possible reason for this error. For this particular campaign , there are no data --- no errors, warnings and notices. Thanks!

Multiple Page Title Elements?
Greetings, I am baffled by the recommendation I repeatedly receive from seomoz's on-page optimization tool. The web page I am working on only shows one title between <title>and</title> in it's head. However, seomoz is also reading "Pass to multiple" from somewhere. It recommends that I "Avoid Multiple Page Title Elements" and I would like to but cannot find them. Any suggestions? By the way, I inherited this site and am just trying to deconstruct someone else's work. As a novice, I realize there might be some obvious explanation that I am just missing. Thanks!
