Are LinkedIn Newsletters bad for SEO?
-
Hey crew,
Curious if anyone has an answer for this one.Someone in our company is encouraging us to start posting our blog content as newsletters on LinkedIn and thinks it will help us grow.
From what I've learned about SEO - this seems like a bad idea that would split traffic for that content between our website and LinkedIn. I also feel like it would create duplicate content - right?Does anyone have any insight on this?
I see that Moz doesn't do LI newsletters and usually posts links on social media that point back to blogs on their website. That's what I've tried to do with our social media as well.Am I thinking about this correctly? Would this be bad for SEO?

LinkedIn newsletters can be a valuable tool for engaging with your audience and sharing valuable insights. However, when it comes to SEO, the impact of LinkedIn newsletters on search engine rankings is limited. While LinkedIn is a reputable platform, search engines primarily focus on content and links from external websites rather than internal content within platforms like LinkedIn.
To maximise your SEO efforts, it's crucial to have a well-optimised website with high-quality content and relevant keywords. By leveraging the expertise of an SEO agency, you can ensure that your website is optimised for search engines and ranks higher in search results. The agency can help you with on-page optimisation, keyword research, link building, and technical aspects of SEO, which have a more significant impact on your website's visibility and search engine rankings.
However, that doesn't mean you should disregard LinkedIn newsletters. They can still contribute to your overall digital marketing strategy by driving engagement, building relationships, and establishing yourself as an industry expert. By including relevant links to your website or blog within your newsletters, you can drive traffic to your site and indirectly boost your SEO efforts.
In conclusion, while LinkedIn newsletters may not directly impact SEO, they can complement your SEO strategy by driving traffic and establishing thought leadership. To achieve optimal results, it's recommended to integrate your LinkedIn efforts with a comprehensive SEO strategy implemented by an experienced SEO agency.

Organic SEO / Content Marketing
Hi,
SEO Tactics | | Ryan07
It would be great if some SEO experts could answer this for us. Suppose a website is brand new. How often should you publish new blog posts on the website?
Publishing, say, every single day or fairly frequently, without the offsite seo being built up first i.e. no backlinks; can this damage the organic SEO?
By publishing too much new written work, and could posting so frequently like everyday look like spam? That’s if though the written work is white hat.
Is there a golden rule to publish say once a month until the website’s offsite backlinks have increased?
Please help, as some clients are pushing for content marketing to be added and written daily, yet this seems too much despite them wanting to pay, it seems like it could cause an over optimisation issue? Could it also damage the long-term SEO efforts?0 -

Merger & Acquisition Best Practices
Our company (DA 40) recently acquired another company (DA 20). The domain for the acquired company is up, and I am being asked if we should keep paying for the domain. I have a couple of questions regarding this. Is it best practice to continue paying for the older domain and do 301 redirects to our website? If yes, do I have to add 301 redirects for individual matching pages? For example, if the old site has the topic XYZ, should a 301 go to our site if we have a similar page topic XYZ? What about contact pages, about us, etc? Do we redirect all non-matching topics to the new home page? Or in the case of their blogs, do we redirect their blogs to the new blog home page even though we are not keeping their old blogs? What if our company keeps acquiring other companies, are we to assume we have to keep paying for the domains of the acquired companies? Is there anyone out there that would say stop paying for the old domain and just review the company's inbound links, reach out to those sites, and make sure they link to the new site instead? Thanks for the help in advance.

Shopify SEO - Collection or Blog post for ecomm seo?
Hi Moz folks, would love your thoughts on benefits of Shopify collection pages v blog posts for ranking secondary shopping keywords not suitable for existing shop pages - all help gratefully received, we are going down a rabbit hole on this one and need some sanity! So, we’re updating our site which already has a reasonable seo foundation and are looking to rank better for key shopping search keywords in our space (d2c sports nutrition). My question is should we prioritise store collection pages (category pages in Shopify terms) or blog posts for some of the main keywords not already covered by our core in-store collections/categories? Priority keywords already covered are things like protein powders, protein bars, energy drinks, etc. As context, we have a small product catalogue (10 products) and for easy navigation on site have these grouped into 7 collections/categories in the main menu and available from the homepage. All are quality high volume and high intent shopping keywords for our business. The secondary terms we are now looking to add content for are things like marathon nutrition, vegan sports nutrition, etc so now need to choose if we create product collection pages for these, or use blog posts to do the work. The advantage of collections, we believe, is that Google is likely to prioritise these in search. The disadvantage from a UX point of view is that more categories in store could make our simple and clear product range (10 products only) look complex or repetitive. Conversely, a blog post removes any UX confusion with too many categories, but we have a conversion rate issue with our blog. It performs well in search, but conversions are poor. We have addressed this with a new keyword targeting strategy and blog customisation, but we have yet to test this so while in theory it should work well, we do not know for certain. In summary: we want to rank key shopping keywords beyond our core ones we have - would you advise we use blog posts or product collection pages? All help gratefully received - thanks! Warren
