Blog Networks
-
We have found a couple of blogs that would be good for some unique content but I suspect they may be part of a network. Apart from checking the IP and for duplicate content of them both, are there any other signs that they may be part of a network?
-
This question is probably best to ask in its own question, rather than appending on to this one (as it's about a year old). If you can add some more context, that'd be really helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying, what are signs of common foot print. Ones that help me determine if that is what the SEO company is doing in order to guarantee high ranking. My client doesn't know anything about SEO tactics. Are there blog networks that are considered white hat or are they all black hat?
-
These sites don't diagnose if it's a blog network, they just show you sites that have common footprints.
-
Thanks Keri, how long does it to determine if this site is tied to a blog network. The SEO company working on it for a dentist I work with just posted it two weeks or so ago. mydentistapplevalley.com

I tried Reverse Internet mentioned above. Do I need to be logged in. The site I'm checking on was posted live two weeks ago. Will it take some time to be read?
-
spyonweb.com will also look for the same Google Adsense and Google Analytics codes/accounts across sites.
-
Cheers guys, much appreciated

If you use Reverse Internet: http://reverseinternet.com/, you will be able to see any shared Google adsense or affiliate IDs as well. If this is the case, it's probably a network.
If they haven't hidden the details, you could also try looking at the whois data with Domain Tools: http://www.domaintools.com/
-
most obvious thing is that they tend to link to one another heavily. use open site explorer to check the major links going through and see if one domain points to the others you are thinking about and then check the others.
also check their code and see if they are doing anything funny, like cloaking information - another common blog entwork trick

Will these pages harm the SEO of my blog?
Hi there, If I put download pages and thank you pages on my blog, will it harm the SEO rankings? As these pages will be pretty thin and will have no links to them internally for obvious reasons, it has me concerned about the effect it could have on my blog. I want to build my blog up to drive traffic, so it's not just a case of throwing the pages up. What is the best solution? No index the pages -- will that be enough? Warm regards Colin

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

Migrating blog posts to new site
I'm in the process of setting up a new site for a client, moving them over to WordPress from Joomla. They've got 50ish blog posts on their old site, but none of them have accumulated any external links. Is it worth it to copy them over to the new site for the sake of retaining all that content, or better just to start from scratch?

Has anyone used Fat Joe as an outsource solution for blog links?
Hi guys, I have seen a company on social media a lot recently who offer a guest blog posting service. It seems to be reasonable quality from the reviews and the blurb they give as they at least seem to find you a relevant blogger to match up with, actually write good content with as many reviews as is needed and then post it to just that one page. I noticed on their site they have claimed that their service is Loved by Moz but I couldn't find any reference to them anywhere on the Moz site. My question is - has anyone used them and are the links going to be any good for my site?

Feedback & Advice on Blog Post
Hello Everyone, it's me again... After receiving feedback from many of you, we decided to add new and informative content to some of our more important blog posts. While the industry we're in isn't the most interesting and fun to talk about, we have always been told to just write high quality, helpful and useful content and people will find it and link naturally to it. We also believed that this would help improve the rankings of some of the inner pages on our site. So now we've spent numerous weeks updating specific posts, and still nobody links to it and still no significant rankings increase. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at this particular post: http://goo.gl/8q4XQk and provide any kind of feedback or advice that you may have. Thanks...

Blog's Homepage isn't indexed even though posts are
My blog http://www.cleanedison.com/blog/ doesn't seem to be indexed by Google even though my posts seem to get indexed within a day or so. Is this not necessarily a bad thing? I feel like it would be nice to search "CleanEdison Blog" and get the homepage. The robots say: name="robots" content="noodp,noydir,noarchive" /> Is there anything I can do? P.S. My posts that get picked up by larger entities generally get ranked lower than the offshoot even though I have a rel="canonical" tag. Anything I can do there?

What are the pros and cons of having comments posted on your blog?
I get a lot of spammy comment comments to my blog which I trash, but I'm also particular about the comments I allow. How do the search engines regard these comments, should I allow more to be posted as it looks like I'm getting more traffic.And by posting these comments, who benefits from the backlinks?

SEO Submission Service or Ads on Blogs?
1. Can anyone recommend a good SEO Submission Service? Or do you not recommend using them? 2. What do you think is a better way to build links? Directory listings or place ads on blog sites? Each post a blogger post would have the ad link. Thoughts?
