How to promote press releases and guest posts
-
Hi, i would like to know what is the best way to promote press releases and guest posts.
We do a lot of guest articles where we write for other sites and we also do a lot of free press releases, but i would like the hard work to pay off and would like to know what are the best methods to promote these press releases and guests posts.
what I would like to do is to have our brand name come up a lot in the search engines.
any other methods to do this would also be a great help

Your first go-to resource should be your existing audience, but try going above and beyond on Social Media! Push out your content over the obvious social platforms where you've already built up a following. You can enhance this by tweeting to specific industry experts you want to grab the attention of, joining and posting in Google+ Communities related to your industry, as well posting in professional groups on LinkedIn. Good luck with your promotion efforts!

hi, thanks for that. Some of the blogs have do follow. What we are trying to do is to promote our brand by getting the articles we have written for other sites and our press releases appearing higher up in the search engine.
We spend a number of hours researching and writing the articles and do not want them to vanish, we write articles for other sites to promote our brand name.
At the moment we are already linking them from our site but we are looking at other ways to give the articles and press releases link juice and improve its position in google

Social Media is considered the best way to promote Press Release. Use Hashtag feature in both Twitter and Facebook to promote the posts to the target audience in similar field
Also, for guest articles - are these done in high quality blog sites. If its so, do you use anchor text and links and is it dofollow. If its yes, then may be you can also again use Facebook posting, Twitter and Pin it to get audience for your posts

What are your favorite "reverse guest posting" techniques?
There's plenty of content out there that teaches how to become a guest author on other blogs. However, I'm looking for ideas on how to attract other authors to post on our own blog (www.reviewjump.com/blog). Specifically, we're targeting agencies and marketers to write for us. Admittedly, it's a fairly new blog, but we've done quite a bit of outreach so far, and this hasn't been brought up as a concern. Ironically, we've found that many agencies we've spoken with don't even maintain their own blog. I'm guessing if they don't author their own, why would they spend the effort to write for ours? Anyway, to make it easy for authors to apply, we even created a specific page for it (www.reviewjump.com/guest-author/). And I know that while some sites charge $100's for guest posts, this would be free for our published authors. We are making some headway with our outreach, but I was searching for any helpful ideas you can share on what works for you and your "reverse guest posting" strategies. Thanks in advance!

My Guest Blog: Still A Good Link Building Resource?
In an effort to build some links, we want to really work on improving our blog content and exposure. We want to write two quality posts per week, and submit 1 quality guest post every 1-2 weeks. However, we're not sure how to go about submitting guest posts or who to submit them to? I found an all article from SEOmoz http://moz.com/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services but it's from 2010. Is myguestblog still a good source? Are there better ways of doing it? Also, is ever advisable to pay to submit a post? Some of the legal blogs (we're a law firm) have this option, but that strikes me as spammy or low quality links. Just to reiterate, we are striving to write high-quality useful content audiences will find beneficial, not just junk or salesmanship. If it takes longer than a week to write posts like that, that's fine. We just really need some specific advise on who we should be submitting our guest posts to and who we should avoid. Thank you all so much for any advice or suggestions, Ruben

Google authorship works on posts, but not on root domain.
When I check Google authorship via the tool Google provides, it says I am confirmed for individual posts, but not for my root domain. I’m using WordPress, and individual posts are fine, but not the blog as a whole. I am the only author… and have given it a week, thinking perhaps it needed time... but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

Rewrite of blog posts
I have to admit. Sometimes, when i write a blog post, I'm a bit lazy. I don't concentrate on the on page optimization portion of the blog post. I used to. But, as of late, I haven't. I was wondering if it was worth it to tweak my blog posts just a bit with a few keywords to improve my on page optimization. Or, do you think that it is too late and not worth the trouble.

Evergreen content: Dedicated section or blog posts?
As part of our content strategy we are creating an ongoing series of articles to help both our potential buyers and our users learn about our product and improve their knowledge of industry best practices in general. Internally, we've had some debate as to where we should host this content within our site. We've identified two approaches: Series of blog posts Dedicated knowledge section of the website If we go with the first approach, we would created a dedicated section that indexed all the blog posts. If we went with the second, we'd create blog posts for each of the articles announcing their addition. Is there any difference, SEO wise with the two approaches? What would you recommend? Thanks, Darren.
