Blogger Outreach - have you used this service before?
-
Hi,
Has anyone used blogdash.com before?
It says it has over 100,000 blog owners registered, which does sound good but when you look at the sites own social following its very poor and when you start to dig a little deeper you can find blog owner profiles like this:
http://www.blogdash.com/blogger/ari-herzog
First view, you think Ari Herzog has signed up to Blog Dash and you can pitch him content for blogs such as Huffington Post and Mashable, took about 10 seconds to realise he isn't actually part of the network as the yellow box is asking him to signup if he ever finds that page.
Has anyone used this service? I can imagine 2% out of the 100,000 are actually members who have signed up.

I'd still be slightly cautious. That blog post is two years old. A lot has changed in two years about the success of such tools.
I would still highly suggest you follow the tips in that other article and earn the link.

Thanks for the reply,
I had a read and some good points.
I don't think all blogging services are bad, I do use MyBlogGuest and have been for a few years now - works really well.

Hi there,
Nope, I haven't heard of it and I'd highly suggest you stay away from it.
You need to do this all manually.
Identify the blogs you wish to be on. Build that relationship. Build that trust. Earn the link.
An excellent article was posted here yesterday - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-blogger-outreach-equation
I dropped a comment on it as well. I'd suggest you read the article and take note of the points. Forget about using anything that makes things easy.
I hope this helps. Need any other help then just shout.

Wondering if anybody actually uses paper.li?
I remember when I first started to see people tweeting their paper.li content summaries on twitter. At first I was interested and would click through but I started to get blindness to the posts in my feed because it seemed like people were getting lazy with it and it was just an easy way to get a couple of retweets or likes. I recently had this proposed to me as an option to share content but was wondering if anybody was effectively using it and having success with it? Does it have a strong user base? Are there any brands using it effectively? Look forward to your feedback!

B2b services site, deep long tail services or flat and broad
Hi all, i have a small internet agency with services in several area's.
Content Development | | mdkay
Currently i structud my services in 2 different area's.
General services and specialized products with services underneath. like so:
domain.com/services
domain.com/services/service1
domain.com/services/service2
and so on. domain.com/product
domain.com/product/service1
domain.com/product/service2 domain.com/product2
domain.com/product2/service1
domain.com/product2/service2 But now im thinking of create loads of different services i provide,
there are some overlapping content of course, but all services are still individual.
But i can write a lot of unique content about all the services. But is it smarter to make just a few big pages with the services more bundled.
Or really long tail. Now i have around 15 services pages.
when i make it a lot deeper im talking about 40 pages. Currently my complete website is around 35 pages.0 -

Finding Guest Bloggers
Does anyone have good tips for finding someone who can do guest blogging for me? I don't have the time to track down good blogs to post on.

I have created 2 blogs for a client as they have 2 domains (1 for their core business, and 1 for a product). I want to use the same content on both blogs. What is the best way to set this up so there are no ranking or duplicate content issues?
We are pushing SEO for only one of the domains, therefore I would like one to be dominant. We will be sending the blog post via email to their database, therefore each blog needs to have the same content. Thank you!

Video Hosting Service or YouTube?
We are considering using a video hosting service like Vzaar or Wistia for our videos. What are some of the SEO advantages of using a video hosting service rather than YouTube?
