How to determine a web site is a high quality guest blogging web site?
-
Hi,
I would like to do guest blogging on the quality web sites, the problem is how can I decide they are good quality web sites?
for example:
1)ehow.com
all of the above are PR 4 or higher.
Thanks

I'd look at what is posted on those sites. Are they posting quality information? Is the information relevant to your topic? Do their guidelines mention any quality control process?

Keri/DragonSearch,
Thanks for the information. I have two purpose to do the guest blogging in these web sites:
-
Get some traffic from these sites: for example, ehow has an alexa index of 323, there are lots of traffic there. I hope people read the article may also click on my backlink.
-
I hope there are some SEO benefit from these web sites, but I am not sure. in the past, most of article directories don't control the article quality and got punished by Google. Later some of the article directories clean it up and add quality control, I think those article directories which add quality control may have some SEO effort, but I don't know which article directories. hope somebody can point it out.
Thanks

I agree with Keri. Why not looking for some guest blogging opportunities. Try this out - do the following search in Google:
[subject of choice] + intitle:"write for us" or [subject of choice] + intitle:"guest post"
For example, if I was looking to write on recycling I would do the following search:
recycling + intitle:"write for us"
With a little digging some great opportunities should pop up! ^Caitlin

I honestly wouldn't go for any of them. If I were going to post on a site other than my own site, I'd look for something in my field where there would be visitors that are actually interested in my niche. Do it for the readers, not for the search engines.
Would you go to one of the above sites on your own if you were not guest posting there? If one of the above sites got hit in an algorithm update, or chose to nofollow their links, would you still want the post there?

Can a feeder site link directly to the main site?
I have a client that has several coupons sites. They have about 15 different URLS all of which are [city]deals.com all of the domains have coupons lists that are relevant to that area. Other than the coupons there is not any other content on the sites. There is a Main site however, that has coupons, content, store locations, blogs, news etc... The coupons on the feeder sites are displayed differently than what is displayed on the main site. They are also categorized differently. So the question is on the feeder sites can they have the coupon link directly to the store page on the main site?

Moving off page blog to on page blog
Hi, I was using free wordpress blog and i have around 18-20 content on the blog. Now, we've managed to have blog on our main website which has www.mysite.com/blog extension. We did this so we could create more links on the website/ I am a little unsure how to move the blog now. Should we copy & paste the blog articles from old blog to new one and remove them from old blog? I am just not quite sure how would it effect the links. If i keep the old articles on the old blog and create new articles for the new one, it'll take me a while before i get them written. Any recommendation appreciated. Thanks

Links from Related Sites with Low PR or semi-related sites with High PR?
Is it better to get a link from a site with lower PR but related content or higher PR but semi-related or unrelated content? For example, if I sell shoes, would a link from a PR1 or PR2 shoe or apparel site be better or a link from PR4 website that sells books be better? I'm not talking about sites with completely unrelated content, but how relevant is PR in obtaining relevant links if I am trying to raise the PR and rankings of my own site?

Photography Site ranking!
Hi I am working on a photography site: www.daffodilwaves.co.uk now there isn't many pages nor is the that much text. However you will see that they have a blog (poorly designed one which we are addressing) Now blog posts I feel can be really good as there is generally alot of naturally written text which I don't feel I need to influence. Also generally people will comment so I also believe that is good for rankings too. However I find that the blog ranks higher than the actual website and I dont want that to occur the website is the one that generates the bookings. So can you give me some ideas to transfer the ranking from the blog to the website? I was thinking that within the article I could simply link back to the homepage - would you think that is a good idea? If so would you suggest I use particular anchor text? such as "Wedding Photographer" or "Comtemporary wedding Photographer" Thanks

Dofollow Blog Comments
I wanna buy dofollow comments, can be there any negative effects? I understand that is a kind of a black hat seo, but i saw many sites who used this type of service and get boosted in the search engine ranking.
