Manual Blog Submission Services - Any Recommendations ?
-
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a high quality blog directory submission service ?
I know that the best method is to do this yourself - but the time required to do so is enourmous, so although I may manually submit to a few of the very best directories myself, I'm looking for a good quality manual service to do the rest.
I'm willing to pay a decent amount to a quality submission service as I want it done as near as possible to doing it myself.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks - They do look pretty dubious - I will have a scout around.

I guess the problem is that when you start to use a service you can't be sure of the quality. There are definitely services out there but they tend to be less than trasparent on the blog directories that you will be submitted to!

If you are going to do it I would suggest you locate and submit manually.

Well I sort of agree - (and would have totally agreed) - HOWEVER - I think it depends on how low you go - I think there are actually far more than a handful that are worth submitting to.
The reason I think this is through experience on submission to directories I have done (very recently) before. I manually submitted a website to probably 100 paid directories (ones with decent DA) a few months ago, and just that alone was enough to push up ranking very significantly in a very competitive market.
Now I want to target the blog, so I need to look at directories specific to blogs - but the thought of manually having to submit to a hundred odd directories again gives me thoughts of dread - so I'm looking for a decent service to do it for me.
Thanks

I am with Peter on this one. The quality of the links will probably be pretty low in the eyes of Mr Google and i think your time could be spent better elsewhere.

I think theres only a few worth submitting too.. After that they just become increasingly low quality and spammy...so not sure I would bother!

Benefit of Guest Blogging with weak relevancy
No - not that awful kind of guest blogging Matt Cutts called time on - but legitimate blogging on quality websites. Just thought I'd get that out of the way first 😉 I work for a legal services provider as a Content Marketing and PR Executive, and I have a regular spot guest posting on Search Engine People which I acquired in my previous role at an SEO agency. As I'm still working in the industry (in-house rather than for an agency) I thought I'd carry it on, not only because it's good for me personally, but because it'd also be a nice link building quick win from a good site with a strong DA. My question is, with next to know relevancy between domain-domain, page-domain, page-page, is there much value in the link? To be clear, I'll be doing it anyway, but the answer might inform whether I do it under the guise of an employee of my company or just as myself. Thanks all!

Reposting Blog posts on 3rd party sites
We have a few informational blog posts that are valuable to some readers. We have posted them in our blog but were contemplating posting them on 3rd party blogging websites such as Blogger, Squidoo, etc.. Ideally we would continue to maintain these accounts with multiple blog posts, but would all be reposts of the original blog. These are not half english blog posts just hoping to gain a better Google rank. They will provide value to the readers who might not be finding their way to our website directly. Is posting these blog posts on the 3rd party websites, linking back to the original article and maybe some products that are related to the specific document going to negatively affect our rankings due to the duplication of the content?

Google to devalue guest blog links?
There's a lot of talk at the minute about google possible devaluing guest post links. I wondered what people thought of this and whether it is likely to happen? If it does happen then how will google identify 'spam' guest posts and links? I guess it's fair to assume that if the post is well written, autoriative and adds value to a site with a knoweldgable perspective then it will be counted? It can be very hard to define how google will define a 'quality guest post'? Any ideas? Here's what Matt has to say... http://www.webpronews.com/matt-cutts-weighs-in-on-guest-blogging-for-links-2012-10

Our website has seen a steady decline in rankings over the past few months, is there any merit to paid bulk directory submission? Or could it potentially harm our campaign.
Our website has been experiencing a slow but steady decline in rankings despite our activity on social media platforms, is there any value in paying a large sum for bulk directory submission? Or will this only result in our overall website authority decreasing further due to unnatural links. Would really appreciate any help.

Ecommerce Blog: Keep Ecom Navigation or not?
I am working on a large ecommerce site right now. I am adding a blog to the site for content purposes. I have been going back and forth on this question, and wanted to get your opinions. Should I integrate the blog into the ecommerce site with the full ecommerce header and/or sidebar, or should I have the blog just be a well designed theme and strip all the ecommerce functionality for it. I would think that people would be more apt to share and link to content if it wasnt surrounded by links to product category pages and the like. Thoughts?

Blogging best practice, tips, hints, advice etc (Wordpress-centric)
Hi guys, I have, for the first time, set up a Wordpress blog. I'm moulding the overall theme of it to relate to the industry we operate in. I'm new to this, so looking for any advice, help and info etc on how best to utilise it that you can offer. My initial plan is to write articles as often as possible on what's happening in the markets, and link back to our site where applicable. I'll also do content exchanges with other relevant sites (using My Blog Guest as one means to find relevant bloggers), and give access to contributors as well (felt a bit weird about doing it initially). Sound like a decent blogging strategy? Any and all ideas welcome. Thanks

Is it worth editing older blog posts for SEO purposes?
The title of the question asks it all. One site I currently work on has a handful of blog posts that rank really well in the SERPS for certain "long-tail" searches. Would it be worth the time to, when I have it, to go back and edit the blogs little by little to help with SEO and building some links throughout the site to get people where we need them to go? Basically "sprucing" up the blog posts to make them more readable, more engaging and help some link building efforts within the domain. Thoughts?
