Is anyone here using Triond? What do you think about it?

I noticed that a few people are using Triond.com to do "guest post".Is that a good way to diversify the link profile and get more traffic? Is anyone here using Triond? What do you guys think about the service?

Hi,
I wouldn't use it either.
I was quite excited by it at first, but they let 'all sorts' in. Naturally, I searched for my niche, and found some articles, but clicking through to them revealed what I feared. whoever 'wrote' those posts either doesn't speak English as their first language or they used spinning software. I suspect it may be both, but either way I wouldn't want to be associated with such drivel.
Try myblogguest.com - it's the best guest blogging platform I've ever come across - get the paid version though because then you have access to the fantastic 'articles gallery', which is worth it, believe me.
Also, try tweeting something like: '#yourniche anyone looking for a guest blog about XYZ, #guestblogging' or something like that. You'd be surprised by the response - we have a really good regular guest blogging spot by reaching out via twitter. You may need to do a few variations, with keywords and hashtags and what-have-yous, but really try it. It won't cost you anything at all; and at least that way your outreach is with real people.
Also, try and find blogs to post on by doing backlink analysis - I have got a huge list just by going through our competitors backlinks. And the best thing about this is its infinite - your competition will always be adding new links. But, I wouldn't rely solely on backlink analysis (or any method for that matter - variety is the spice of life AND Link Building...)
Good luck whatever you decide to do.

ps - I've recommended myblogguest to a few people on this forum. Let me explain, I have absolutely ZERO affiliation with myblogguest. I just use it as a customer. And happen to think it's the bizniz in terms of guest blogging!

I have no experience of using Triond so please take my comments in that context.
Personally, it would worry me to uss a service like that to put my articles as guest blog posts around the Internet. It raises some questions & concerns for me.
They say they put your blog posts on the most relevant sites, but what is to stop you finding these sites and doing that? Who owns these sites?
If these blogging sites are legitimate blogging sites then why can you not post on them, or are you just paying to put blog posts on someone's site? If that is the case then in essence you are buying links which Google outlaws for SEO.
Penguin has slapped many sites for gathering backlinks from low quality sites. What is there to say that some of the sites your blog posts will be posted on will not also be low quality.
IMHO, if you have the ability to write blog posts sharing your expertise and represent your business, then it is too risky to entrust that into someone else's hands to publish without clear control of where they will be published.
I hope that helps and as I say, the above is just my opinion and not from someone who has used Triond.

Is anyone else noticing way longer than usual caching delays in Chrome?
I typically see browsers refresh at 48 hours the longest. We pushed some changes through production about a week ago and Chrome still has the old version cached. I'm seeing some similar posts and wonder if Google is up to something and we are starting to "cache" on (pun intended)?

Using "nofollow" internally can help with crawl budget?
Hello everyone. I was reading this article on semrush.com, published the last year, and I'd like to know your thoughts about it: https://www.semrush.com/blog/does-google-crawl-relnofollow-at-all/ Is that really the case? I thought that Google crawls and "follows" nofollowed tagged links even though doesn't pass any PR to the destination link. If instead Google really doesn't crawl internal links tagged as "nofollow", can that really help with crawl budget?

Duplicate title tags due to lightbox use
I am looking at a site and am pulling up duplicate title tags because of their lightbox use so... So they have a page: http://www.website.com/page and then a duplicate of that page: http://www.website.com/page?width=500&height=600 on a huge number of pages (using Drupal)... that kind of thing - what would be the best / cleanest solution?

Been away for a while is SEO really dead ? I don't think so...
I have been struggling with the google updates but recently we started a new project and by using guest blog posts we were able to achieve a top 3 ranking. It delivered traffic and sales so SEO still works. This is my understanding of the current situation - 1. Generic Keywords (forget it) 2. Go niche and long tail (but thats been the case for a while right) 3. Using related searches 4. Incoming links using brands and a wider range of phrases and urls. 5. Content thats sharable 6. Google plus buttons etc This is my current understanding I would love to hear your thoughts.

Use of Rel=Canonical
I have been pondering whether I am using this tag correctly or not. We have a custom solution which lays out products in the typical eCommerce style with plenty of tick box filters to further narrow down the view. When I last researched this it seemed like a good idea to implement rel=canonical to point all sub section pages at a 'view-all' page which returns all the products unfiltered for that given section. Normally pages are restricted down to 9 results per page with interface options to increase that. This combined with all the filters we offer creates many millions of possible page permutations and hence the need for the Canonical tag. I am concerned because our view-all pages get large, returning all of that section's product into one place.If I pointed the view-all page at say the first page of x results would that defeat the object of the view-all suggestion that Google made a few years back as it would require further crawling to get at all the data? Alternatively as these pages are just product listings, would NoIndex be a better route to go given that its unlikely they will get much love in Google anyway?

Using microformatting for multiple online review source
I sat in on the Microformats & Schema.org – Real life Use Cases webcast today. Thank you for providing that helpful information. This discussion question is related to microformat in relation to online reviews: I work for a local auto dealership group. Each of our dozen+ dealers have reviews on Google, dealerrater, cars.com, edmunds, etc. Is there a SEO benefit to compiling online reviews from multiple sources mentioned above into our site in a microformat (knowing the reviews existed elsewhere) or would we have to use a third party tool such as Bazaarvoice & capture our reviews through there? Have any of you pulled reviews from various sources onto your site & used the microformatting technique? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks

Canonical Tag Uses Source Title and Meta Data?
When optimising a regional same language micro site within a sub folder of a .com it dawned on me that our use of the hreflang and canonical meta elements will render individual elements such as H1 and title obsolete. As a canonical tag takes the canonical source title and meta right? It would still have value in optimising localised headings though? Appreciate any thoughts, suggestions (o:
