Add pictures to website or Slideshare
-
For a law firm website looking to increase its traffic by offering pictures of cars that were in accidents, would it be more advantageous to add the pictures to the website directly (my inclination) or to Slideshare and put the embed code on the site?
Also, we will have an abundance of pictures over time. How would you organize them on the site to maximize their SEO benefit? Have a picture landing page, then links to individual months from the landing page?
Finally, assuming I go with a landing page with links to the months of the year (where that months pictures are stored), should each picture ultimately reside on its own page or is it sufficient to have all pictures for that month on one page?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your answer.
We are anticipating it to drive traffic, presumably people will like looking at cars that have been in an accident.
I'm still not quite sure how Slideshare builds links back to the client's website. Any experience with this? Can you embed anchor text in the slides that link back to the client's site?
Yes, I think I'll put them in monthly galleries, now it's just a questions of where I'll load the images.

I'd host them on your site and include an embed code as well (for easy sharing). Unless you think having them on slideshare will make them easier to discover in which case I'd probably do both.
I can't say what would work best with regards to getting the images in the image vertical search but if you're looking at usability/sharability I'd definitely organise the images into monthly galleries that are easy to flick through.
Just out of curiosity are you anticipating this content to drive high value traffic or is it more of an exercise in linkbuilding?

Should we add a weekly updated website blog (annotated re-postings) that mirrors our LinkedIn updates?.
We currently add original content to our website every couple of months in the form of long form articles we have guest authored for other reputable sites. We also maintain a LinkedIn company site with weekly updates in the form of annotated newsworthy re-postings. We are thinking of duplicating our LinkedIn update feed on our website as a blog in order to build more traffic and improve SEO. Hopefully the additional frequency of site updates will also help. Again, this additional content will be largely re purposed, with the exception of our value-added annotations. Good idea? Waste of time? Suggested tweaks? Should we link back to the original content source, no-follow, or no link?

Question about pruning your website/blog for SEO
Hey all, So I checked out "The What, Why, and How of Pruning Your Website for SEO" and recently read ahrefs well known article on seo strategy and both really focused on the idea of removing poorly performing pages on your site for an SEO boost. I've asked this question in a few different ways before but I was hoping to get some more insight into this. If my company's blog has thousands of posts going back 5 years, 99% of which only really had pageviews on the day of their release and then after that receive no traffic, direct or organic, am I better off getting rid of (301) 99% of these posts and only sticking to/improving important/performant posts? Does anyone know how other blogs/sites deal with these sorts of issues. Where one function of the blog is to provide informative articles and the other function to post little tidbits (with barely any copy and rapid relevancy decay rate) meant to promote interaction with the blog community (like polls or one line contest winner announcements). Is this an issue of misusing the blog? For example, should the blog just be used for articles and all contests etc. be moved to social media? Thanks in advance for your insights, Roman

Trying to find a WP application (that does not require a FB application) that synchronizes website blog posts with a company facebook page
I'm not a developer and it's been about 5 years since I helped a client synchronize their wordpress blog posts with their FB page. I remember it being much simpler to do this in the past. However recently I'm noticing that all of the WP auto post applications require a Facebook application to get the synchronization to function properly.

Is there any WP plugin available that does not require this? Something that just requires FB keys?0 -
LinkedIn Profile Pictures in Search
Has anyone else noticed profile pictures alongside LinkedIn profiles appearing in search, similar to websites with Google authorship enabled? I saw this happening briefly today across multiple verticals and the images seemed to be a bit larger than authorship images. It was also strange that this was happening for some profiles and not others (number of connections appeared to be irrelevant). I didn't get a chance to grab a screen cap before it was gone, but I thought this was interesting and hadn't seen it discussed anywhere else.

Value in content from website being shared across social media?
If I write content (small career advice quotes) on my website and I distribute across Twitter and FB I assume my site will get the full credit (from an SEO perspective) since that is where the content was originally uploaded. However, will I still get SEO credit for being active on social media, or will Google view it as duplicate content and evaluate that I am not active on social media? thank you

How do you leverage UGC for a corporate website?
We've heard a lot about how user-generated content is doing good for SEO, and how it can add more value to users. While this would work in certain niches, how would one go about implementing UGC like Q&A and comments on a corporate website? I've thought about having a Q&A about our services, but that would limit the appeal of the content.
