Want to Add Already Distributed Content to My Internal Blog
-
I want to add already distributed content to my internal blog. I have very useful articles on different topics which I have submitted to different article directories.
Yesterday, I have started my internal blog and want to add all content which I have submitted to different external websites.
So, Can I do it or not? I have confusion about duplication between my site and external websites.

EGOL,
Good to know, That's interesting to know about filtering of weaker domains. I have very big question in my mind. I have given too much efforts to create these contents for distribution in external websites. Now, I have internal platform to share my content or knowledge associated to products for my buyers.
Because, this will give me good benefits rather than external websites. I am not focusing about external links. I am selling patio umbrellas and have 20+ How to, DIY or related content which may helpful to my buyers.
So, I have big question about my organic performance which is associated to products level. Google will find out duplication due to my blog section. That's for sure. But, will it create negative impact to my organic ranking which is associated to product level pages or categories?
-
I would not publish these duplicates if my site was weaker than other sites where they will be published. From what I have seen the strongest domains with these articles will display in the SERPs. Weaker domains will be filtered. I don't believe that timestamp or original source is very important. Plus, if you have a lot of dupe content rankings across your domain could be reduced.
-
Search engines will look at the timestaps to determine where the content has orginated. So best to start from scratch or use similar topics.

Hi CP,
The fact is, that I wouldn't republish those articles that were already published to article directories. There are a lot of content scrappers which use these article directories. and you don't want to publish articles that have been copied many-many times.
This is only my opinion. Start building up new content, Query Deserves Freshness will just love it
Good luck!

Internal linking dilemma
My company is running a submission contest. All submissions will live on the the main contest page. When clicked, each submission will open up into their own page (with a unique URL). Each submission will also have internal links pointing to a few relevant product pages. My question: Say we receive 1,000 submissions. Is it better to have internal links from 1,000 unique, lower authority submission pages? Or should we canonicalize each submission page to the higher authority main contest page and effectively have all those internal links coming from the main contest page? Is one better than the other? Are there link spam issues to worry about with either? Thank you in advance!

Internal Linking
OSE only shows me as having 24 internal links on my home page. My internal links and total links are far less than my competitors, some of whom have 1700 on a single page. My site is www.CenterCityTeam.com and an example of a competitor with far more internal links is www.McCannTeam.com. 1) How do I get that many internal links on a page and 2) do I even want to?

Anyone used this service before? - Organic Content Distribution
I was pitched today by a "content syndication network" that claims to be able to syndicate across 200 "local news" sites along with syndicate the content to the editors and writers social sites, along with the publisher social sites for a flat fee. Just like a MarketWire.com service but NOT for press releases. For articles. The company offering this is www.befirstinc.com. Need to vett them out and make sure this is not a FTC nor Google Quality Guidelines violation for SEO purposes.

Internal linking question
How important is internal linking from body content? If you have 500 words of content on each page is it good practise to try and get a few links in to other pages? Surely if you do this your pass more juice out of the page, which might lead to devaluing the page in the SE's.

Link Building: Just Great Content, Blog Comments, and Guest Blog Posts?
I love SEOMoz. It has motivated me to dive way more into SEO. I know all the shoulds. But what fascinates me about SEO is that shoulds don't always match up to what works. I'm looking at Open Site Explorer, specifically my site. I see a lot of links I got naturally. By having awesome content. So is there any point in emailing people asking htem to add my link? Or do I spend my time writing awesome content, sharing it on social media, and hoping someone comes across it and shares it? I know blog commenting, when relevant, can bring me new visitors. I'm sure it helps SEO too. Maybe I just need to reach out and write guest blog posts for grabbing some links? Its just as Google wants it! OMG, how white hat. Is that it? or should I be even more active? I.E. emailing people and saying "hey, I have this awesome website, your readers would find it useful" sort of thing? Love to hear your opinion!

Guest Blogging - Build a relationship with a few blogs and post only there or post a few on as many good blogs as possible?
I'm curious which strategy is better in the short term and in the long-term? Part of my link building strategy involves contacting bloggers and posting some guest blogs on their sites. Now there are advantages with posting on a few blogs and creating a link between you and the blog readers and the blog owner. It also saves time trying to contact blog owners etc. However would my time be better spent contacting hundreds of blogs and seeing where I can guest blog and then post on as many as possible; in order to have a diverse number of links going back to my website? What do you think is the best option and why?

Blog Commnets
Since they are nofollow, are blog comments worth while making in a link-building campaign? Seems to be some controversy about the amount of value nofollow links add.
