Where is the best place, from an SEO perspective to have my articles published?
1: My WordPress blog
2: As A guest post on another site.
3: Within the normal pages of my site.
Here is my site: www.fvl.co.uk
Any help and or advice would be gratefully recieved.

I would say both, your blog and guest post. You want people to know that you exist, that is why guest blogging is great, because in addtion to the link, you are in front of an audience that otherwise would have never heard of you.
But...if they visit your site, you need to have useful, relevant and helpful content so your new visitors stay on your page. Secondly, you want Google to associate your keywords to your site.
So do both, have great content on your site and write awesome guest posts.

Site/blog either or. rel=auth is markup language used to show you are the author of the content. I would detail how to setup and use, but others have long since done so:

The beauty is really in having a snippet with your pic in SERPS where your article shows up. I believe that over time it will become a trust component within the algo, but it remains to be seen.

Thank you for your response, excuse my ignorance but what is rel=auth ? when you say I can still have the article on my site as well, do you mean my site or my blog or would you consider them the same?
Thanks

Andy,
Here is a hint...it is number two. Especially if the site is similar, etc. and they use reasonable anchor text. I would suggest you utilize rel=auth on your articles.
You can still have the article on your site as well.
Best,
Robert

Would you delete the links page ?
I have noticed that more and more of my competitors are removing the links page from their sites. Either that or they are hiding them. I suppose it makes sense because all the links on my page http://www.kerryblu.co.uk/links-7-w.asp are just links to sites that are linking to me. Supposedly there is no worth in this but I'm just worried that I will lose a lot of links if I delete this page and this may effect my currently crappy rankings for the worse. What do you think? Keep the links page or delete it ?

Guest Blog Posting : Is that all it is made out to be?
Experts frequently mention that one of the best way to build the link is to guest blog with some authoritative blogs in your niche after Penguin, Panda and other animals invaded SEO landscape. At the same time everyone agrees that "Content is the king" and if you have unique and useful content, people would link to you without any extra efforts on your part. Do you see any contradiction in those statements? I spent my time, my resource, my genius writing up very good posts. As a matter of fact all my post are good (IMHO), but I can churn out only 2 or 3 masterpieces per month. Should I share my content willingly as a guest post to other websites who are not my local direct competitor of course, but nonetheless are in my niche, thus adding to their authority on the subject? I will get a link out of it. Would I get a significant traffic? I doubt that. At least from my limited experience. Or should I strengthen my own site striving to be such authority in my niche? But without strong external link profile Google shall frown upon me and my site. Personally I inclined more to save most of the content for my own blog. What do you gals and guys think?

Is it Better to Link to an Article or Post it on my Site?
I have a client who has a few articles written about her and posted on different news-related sites. She has asked me to capture these articles (we have permission) and create a section on her site for them. My question is this... From an SEO standpoint, would it be better to link _to the _articles, post them on her site or both? Or, maybe there's an even better way I'm not thinking of. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirk
