Thank you simon, i will watch that now and have a read. I have been interested about videos but not really got a clue on how to edit etc. I have bought myself a podcast setup, which i bought for myself and my daughter who is at college, so i will start to learn that and see how that goes.

Hi Diane
There's an awesome White Board Friday video by Rand entitled 'Article Marketing + Submission for SEO' which is well worth a view, seems like it will provide some useful ideas and suggestions for you with your article marketing.
It is a real shame to be giving high quality topical content away to other sites that benefits those sites but not your own. There are ways to address this issue, such as:
- being really selective over the sites you distribute your content to and insisting that they provide a link back for the privilege of using your content (though not always an easy task granted)
- guest blogging instead of writing so many articles
- producing different types of content such as Infographics that are generally more likely to provide a link back to you
- consider some Video content which other sites would want to embed on their site
Also, Google's Search Plus Your World (and an SEOmoz post here) is worth reading up on and viewing the video. Ensure that your website has the Publisher link between your website's pages and your Google+ profile. Also ensure that your articles link to your Author page (about you page) on your website and that that page links to your Google+ profile with an Author link.
Regards
Simon

by trade i am a professional writer and have wrote books as well as articles and i also use to have my own glossy magazine.
The hours i work at the moment trying to create a brand for my sites is from 6am in the morning till around 12 midnight and i work six days out of seven.
If you have the knowledge then it is not a problem in writing them. I have been asked in the past to write for different sites where i would have earned a very good revenue per week for a lot less hours, but my aim is to get my sites up there and working properly and creating readers.
The articles are quality as that is not a problem. The problem is, the articles that i have been writing are not getting linked back to my site because they are taking away the part that says who it has been writen by and the link address

Diane,
40 articles a day sounds kind of high for developing quality articles that are the types that people would want to link to. I know some people who work 40 hours or more on a single post -- but then that post gets links, views, comments, etc. for years to come.
You may want to rethink quality vs quantity on posts, and spend more time on fewer posts.

Thank you for the support on here. I have to say that i am shocked by the comment made by the person who i do not feel is worth mentioning. I am very knew to all this and read a lot and i was always taught that if you want to learn then you should read, listen and ask lots of questions.
There is a saying, no question is a stupid question unless you think it is stupid yourself.
I write lots of articles daily not just on my sites but also on lots of article sites to try and gain a reputation.
I find with the article sites that i am having loads of my articles put around the net on lots of different sites each day but they do not add the link or name to the article which makes me feel i could be wasting my time.
I am looking at ways to increase my brand as well as increasing my page authority.
I write on average around 40 articles a day, some for my sites and some for article sites but with the negative responce i am getting from article sites and i am now considering just keeping the articles for my own site but as i have read, there are thousands of sites that have great content that are updated daily but get no where and that is because they do not have the link juice or page authority. and i do not want to make this mistake.
I do not want to write lots of great content and then have only a small amount of people read it.

Antonio, if you could please just offer answers without the added barbs at other users or their methods, we'd really appreciate that. You may want to review our etiquette page at http://www.seomoz.org/dp/blog-disclaimer for more information about our community philosophy. Thanks so much!

Thank you for highlighting the rudeness of that Post Alan

Antonio
I don't know you, I find you extremely rude and mis-informed. I take offence to your comments which I do interpret as offensive.
If you actually read the words that were written, you'd see that 'actively doing something about building links' that you correctly mention, is covered in my answer.
In the first paragraph ('distribute authoritive content' which is link building) in the second paragraph, quite obviously, and again in the final paragraph with another mention of 'distributing it well'.
There is no place for rudeness and personal attacks here in this community and I hope you are removed from it before you offend anybody else.

Many new comers to SEO have a simular attitude as you, I mean buildmyrank.com and fiver.com is about as low quality as you can go. Have you not heard of the panda updates, have you not read Matt Cutts on article posting?
My advice, edit your post and remove your embarrassing advice before others see it, and dont try to be rude, even those that do know what thea are talking about should avoid being rude.
As for 126 #1’s, I don’t think you understand the aim of SEO, its not to get as many #1s as you can, it’s to get traffic that you can convert to money.
Tell me when you have #1 for “Real Estate California”, and making money.by the way is this your company website?
And you personal web site
http://www.bravotiger.com/Which one do you have the 126 #1s on?

Under the 'no panacea' category, Simon and Alan are right. Authority means just that and the best way to become one and hence give your website some is to display it online. It's hard and time consuming but it's the only method that builds and lasts.

You're welcome

Thank you for the advice.

Get links from relevant websites, with high authority. Its hard to do, hard to fake, hard to manipulate, but if you create good content, sooner of later you will earn them.

Hi Diane, it all starts with Content.
To increase the authority of your pages and website overall, you'll need to create and distribute Authoritive content on the topics that are appropriate for your site/business.
With this authoritive content, you'll likely get some natural inbound links from other authoritive websites in your categories, which will help for sure.
So focus on high quality, interesting, unique, valuable authoritive content, distribute it well and you'll start to see your Authoritiveness increase. Tools are for research, measurement and analysis, focus on the Content and the Distribution of it.
Regards, Simon

Hey guys, I've got like 120 "Too many on-page links" warnings in my crawl diagnostics section. They're all the pages of my WordPress blog. Is this an acceptable and expected warning for Wordpress or does something need to be better optimized? Thanks.

Two different Domain Authorities for one site?
The "Domain Authority" of my site on the "Link Analysis" section of SEOmoz Pro (34) is different to what it is on Open Site Explorer (36) - how can this be? All I can think is that one hasn't been updated yet (I'm hoping the lower one!). Elucidation gratefully received! Alex

How can authority of the page be higher then authority of the domain?
In the opensite explorer most of the links that I see have a higher domain authority and lower page authority which makes sense to me because I thought that domain authority is an aggregate of its pages authority. But apperently I was wrong because sometimes I see that the page authority is greater then its domain? How could that be?

Dynamic URL pages in Crawl Diagnostics
The crawl diagnostic has found errors for pages that do not exist within the site. These pages do not appear in the SERPs and are seemingly dynamic URL pages. Most of the URLs that appear are formatted http://mysite.com/keyword,%20_keyword_,%20key_word_/ which appear as dynamic URLs for potential search phrases within the site. The other popular variety among these pages have a URL format of http://mysite.com/tag/keyword/filename.xml?sort=filter which are only generated by a filter utility on the site. These pages comprise about 90% of 401 errors, duplicate page content/title, overly-dynamic URL, missing meta decription tag, etc. Many of the same pages appear for multiple errors/warnings/notices categories. So, why are these pages being received into the crawl test? and how to I stop it to gauge for a better analysis of my site via SEOmoz?

On-Page Summary (Report Cards) automation?
Hi everyone, Under the "On-Page" tab which shows your report cards, is there a way of getting it to grade your entire site? One of my site's is only ~20 pages so it's no big deal to manually enter each URL and set each one to update weekly. But what if I have a site that has ~1,000 pages and I want to optimise each and every page for my main keyword using the report cards feature? Thanks in advance! 🙂 Ash
