Is publishing content on multiple platforms like Tumblr, Blogger, Posterous, etc. a legit way to build backlinks?
-
My client has a fishing report that is published weekly on his blog. Would it be wise to syndicate that content on these other services with backlinks baked into each one?
Any thoughts?
-
Saibose,
Do you think links from a wordpress blog are better?
-
Yes they did. Thanks for reminding me about it Keri!
-
ap4runner, did these responses answer your question, or do you still have open questions? It'd be great to have a reply from you or an answer marked helpful. Thanks!

If this is manual, this would be another channel as you say. So you could create 1 account in each in these sites and manage them very well - following other fishing sites on a given platform, connect to twitter and much more as Barry said.
Then this is totally legit to put an excerpt of the original article, made from scratch or reworded, and then put a link to the full article.

Posterous and platforms like tumblr, blogger do not necessarily count as legitimate backlinks, but they are good for SEO. If you have mentions of these on blogger, tumblr and posterous, you may have a better visibility on SERPs based on Google's algorithm's QDF factor.
Therefore, it maybe a good idea to post on these websites in legitimate ways to get leverage.

Ah, I didn't read this as fake blog, I saw it as manual syndication; rather than say putting a RSS feed on a Facebook page, it was manually posting about it on a 'branded' hosted blog (mydomain.wordpress.com for example).
I think putting content in front of people using whatever channels they already use is a good way of driving traffic and getting links from other influencers on those platforms.
-
I think you are asking if Google / Bing would consider this out of the guidelines. If you publish the exact same content on blogging platform, you will get not much from these. If you create a LOT of those fake blogs, you may even be penalised.
This may work if performed in a smart manner - different content, no systematic backlink and much more to create a credible blog. This is hard though, if your client is not publishing his content on blog aggregators, I would recommend doing so - just be aware of the risk of being ranked after the aggregator if the client's site has weak mRank.
-
Yup Well, kind of.
There's a couple of things I do with content that I want to share this way
a) Make sure there are links back to my site and
b) Slightly reword itI'm not talking about spinning the article into 100 different versions, one for each site I'm putting it on (though if you want some names to help you do that... :D), but I try and give the reader a reason to come through to the site proper.
So some sites I post an edited version, some sites I do an editorialised version ie I blog about my blog (yo dawg, I herd you like blogs).
For most value out of them, it's (reasonably) important to actually build the profile of the blog your publishing it on within the community as well, so follow other fishing blogs on each, repost on your tumbler, fill in a full profile, etc
Remember even if some of the places your posting links are nofollowed, having a good social profile is an indicator that you have a legit site (for the time being), so there is value beyond the direct links as well.
However, I wouldn't rely purely on these kind of links to get me ranking.

Spam Link Building Discovered - What would you do?
Hi Mozers, After investigating our no 1 competitor we have discovered their 87k back links comparing to ours 1k. After dipper investigations we discovered that all the back links are gained by the websites created by themselves. So what they did is - they had purchased 10+ domains and created 10+ new websites that are identical as their original .com version. EVERY SINGLE LINK on these 'new' websites link to their .com version. The 'New' websites are not indexed. Literally each of us can do the same and gain thousands of back links, but isn't it violating google's policy? What are your thought on it? (What is the best practice to report the violation of google's policy to Google?) Best regards, Lana

Totally puzzled by link building/content marketing
Hey Mozzers! 🙂 I'm going to be starting link building for a website soon and I am having some trouble wrapping my head around a couple of things. First of all, in the current world of SEO, where should I be looking to generate links? Is it as simple as reaching out to bloggers and trawling through competitors links? Or is there something more? In relation to this, if I were to generate a good number of links from high authority sites, how would this effect my ranking for keywords (assuming the anchor text for those links is the website URL)? The other thing I'm a little puzzled by is, if I were to write a great article on the websites blog and it gains traction in social media circles, people would (I assume) only share a link to the blog post instead of the actual article itself. How would this effect the ranking of keywords that I have optomised (anchor text etc.) for in the article? I assume this is where guest blogging would come in? Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been trying to logic this one out the last couple of days and just can't do it 😕 Thanks a lot to anyone who replies 🙂

Should we BackLink to Guest Post ?
Hi, I have been actively doing guest blogging for last few weeks . But the page authority , moz Rank and moz Trust of my guest posts appear 0 as those posts have their own pages on blogs with snippets of posts on home page. I wanted to ask if i should backlink to my guest posts to increase the authority, mR and mT of pages. Those posts are already appearing as backlinks in webmaster tools but if i backlink to my posts to increase mR and mT, then will it also increase the juice passed by backlinks in those posts to landing pages on my site ? Thanks,

How to Check if The Content is Spinned
Hi guys, We run 5 ecomm sites in the fashion industry. We set up blogs for each one of them. Our regular writer cannot handle the job of posting 1-2 unique articles per day on 5 blogs plus the extra copy writing jobs he has. We want to involve freelancers in writing our articles. We do not want to spin content (due to low prices of real articles). The issue we have is that we want to be able to check if the articles our contractors deliver us are spinned content or not. We would not accept spinned articles if we pay for unique content 🙂 Do you know any good spinned content checker that we can use? If possible, please post 2-3 software, free or paid, so we can use them simultaneously to check the articles. Thanks in advance
