Press Release in 3 PR6 Sites against yahoo submission
-
Hi - i have shortlisted 3 pr news sites - prlog.org, i-newswire.com, 24-7pressrelease.com . All 3 have pr6 and have high scores.
Have 2 queries -
a) Is it worth to put backlinks - by taking a paid press release option and spend around 200$ - sole intent is to generate backlinks
b) is the combination effect of these 3 pr sites better than stand alone yahoo direct submission - as have limited budget can do either of them
thnx

Gagan,
Yeah, duplicate content can diminish link benefits. Check out this video from Wil Reynolds about #RCS: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/seomoz-meetup-rapid-fire-link-building-strategies
As for the Yahoo Directory, in my experience I haven't seen any boost in rankings for websites that had this link. Vice versa... I haven't seen a drop off in rankings when the link was taken down.
Focus on QUALITY, not quantity and you'll win in the SERPS.

does a duplicate content by other sites - due to release distribution will take away the link benefit
-
have even checked that way for yahoo directory - for some competition sites - they either dont have pr or have low pr of 1 or 2 where they are listed
pl suggest - am i missing something here with these pr news sites or is yahoo directory still a good way

My honest take is that if you're doing press releases for the sole intent of getting backlinks, it's not a good way to go. Three reasons...
- You're likely going to create a lot of duplicate content with these press releases.
- If the "news" is not newsworthy, it's not going to be picked up by reputable organizations anyway.
- The sites you mentioned may have a PR6 for their home page but the page your press release will be on won't be.
I hope this helps.

What do you think about SEO of big sites ?
Hi, I was doing some research of new huge sites for example carstory.com that have over million pages and i notice that many new sites have strong growing for number of keywords and then at some point everything start going down (Image of traffic drop attached) there are no major updates at this time but you can clearly see even on recent kewyords changes that this site start loosing keywords every day , so number of new keywords are much less that lost keywords. How would you explain it ? Is that at some point when site have more than X number of indexed pages then power of domain is not enough to keep all of them at the top and those keywords start dropping ? Please share you opinion and if you have any experience by yourself with huge sites. Thank You very appreciated 2LC3AxE

Redirecting old mobile site
Hi All, Trying to figure out the best option here. I have a website that used to utilize a separate mobile site (m.xyz.com) but now utilizes responsive design. What is the best way to deal with that old mobile site? De-index? 301 redirect back to the main site in the rare case someone finds the m. site somewhere? THanks! Ricky

Traffic down after site migration
Hi! I've been working on a campaign for http://www.alwayshobbies.com/, which has seen a 35% in drop in traffic since changing ecommerce platforms. It's now been two months, but there is no sign of recovery. We are in the middle of cleaning up the link profile as part of a resubmission request, but that has been ongoing since before the migration. A lot of redirects were needed after 10k 404s appeared in Webmaster Tools after the new launch, but these have been reduced to around 500. We've been pretty thorough here, but I thought it would be worth checking in case there's something we've missed.

Understanding the levels in my site
How can I figure out which pages are on the same level on my site ? I created an automatic sitemap with a software online but it doesn't tell me abc page is on the 1 st level, xyz page is on the second level etc... and I have a hard time figuring out if my main menu is on the same level as my drop down menu as it is visible on the same page. Is there anyway to figure what which pages are on the same level ?

What's the best way to manage content that is shared on two sites and keep both sites in search results?
I manage two sites that share some content. Currently we do not use a cross-domain canonical URL and allow both sites to be fully indexed. For business reasons, we want both sites to appear in results and need both to accumulate PR and other SEO/Social metrics. How can I manage the threat of duplicate content and still make sure business needs are met?

Should I link my similar sites together?
Hi I currently have two sites within exactly the same market. I've just purchased a third website from someone. Should I link these sites together? (i.e. in the page header should I cross link them or point two of them to the third?) If I do this will it harm them if they are on the same C-Class IP blocks? Is using private domains and different hosting companies considered dodgey in any way? Basically I'm a big wimp and don't want to do anything potentially that might potentially hurt my rankings;)
