Anyway looks good - http://tracker.myblogguest.com/

As a PRO MyBlogGuest user, you already have access to the link tracker (that's the update you are getting if any of your guest posts get removed or any of your links gets deleted), so since you are using MBG, MBG tracker would be extra
We are working on the quality issue and haven't noticed that many poor-quality articles. I personally track ALL rejections (I get an email each time the publisher rejects the article) and I don't recall seeing that many rejections either... Could you please report any time you receive a poor article?
About the blog quality, we have had lots of discussions in Private area about that and haven't still come to any good solution. Making another level of membership where only high-quality articles can go and only high-quality blogs can enter sounds like no problem to me. But I've heard some serious concerns about that being a closed network Google might once consider as breaking the rules. Right now our doors are open to everyone, and yes, it is much more natural this way

I agree with what your say but with anything automated your going to be sacrificing some quality, against doing it the manual way of contacting the owner through the blog.
I personally think it's a great service BUT could be made greater.
This is how it is from the other side of the fence Matt.
I produce 500 words of unique content for each article, I know they are good because when they do get on a blog with good social following they achieve levels of social sharing above other articles.
But because I think my articles are good I only work with blogs with PR3+ and usually look for a DA/PA 35+. Now these types of blogs are getting close to being big enough they don't need to be on a guest blogging network, so you end up with 5 offers 4 are PR 0/2 DA/PA 17+ and the other is good.
I would be more then happy to pay double for a Premium area where articles are checked manually and only blogs of PR3+ DA/PA 30+ exist, I also think if the user is not active within a month they get bumped out of the area until they login again.
That would be sweet.

Just as a side note, I would be careful with myblogguest. I have about 92 sites we update with their articles and allow others to post on our sites. We have been getting very low quality posts lately. So bad that we rejected 19 articles today alone. I feel that they aren't analyzing the content as good anymore. Maybe they are getting understaffed and not analyzing as much as they should.
This could jeopardize the quality of sites that your writing great articles for which in the long run could hurt your site if you have 50 links pointing in from penalized domains. I am just thinking long term, this wouldn't happen overnight of course, but if they don't start passing better quality through their it won't end good for them.
If they keep passing content like they did today to my sites, I see BMR ban happening all over again from Google.
Sure guest posts are ethical, but if the sites aren't quality which ='s high quality posts and interesting content, then it's not a quality site, which means you don't have a quality link.
Have a great night.

Dr. location website and blog
I use Moz Local to sync my Endocrinology medical clinic website to search engines and directories and it has helped me a lot. However, I want to start a blog that deep dives into Endocrine based issues like diseases and conditions. The issue is I am not sure if I should just add the blog to my Endocrinology Medical Clinic website or Start the blog off on a completely new domain because one day I might want to sell my Endocrinology Medical Clinic but keep my Endocrine based blog. What do you suggest? Also do any of your services help submit blogs without a physical address to search engines and directories like Moz Local?

Google Slower to Trust New Pages than One Year Ago?
It seems to me that Google is slower to trust (and rank) new pages today than in the past. I used to be able to put up a new page and it would go right to the top of a competitive SERP. For about the past year when I launch a new page it starts deep in the SERPs, sits there for a few weeks, then starts slowly moving up. These pages still eventually rank on the first page of Google - often at #1 or #2 after wikipedia or another strong site - but it can take a few months to get there, several months in a competitive SERP. These are not "hot news" topics where freshness is an important factor. Instead they are product pages or general information articles. Anybody else seeing this? [ Just stabbing in the dark here... I am wondering if Google is relying more on visitor behavior these days and the delay is while they collect data?... Just stabbing in the dark.]

Duplicate Content From Huffington Post Blog
A client who writes blog posts for Huffington Post also wants an identical version of the blog posted to his personal site. Do you think there could be a problem of being punished for duplicate content? Would a better SEO practice be to have the client do an on-site blog just linking to the Huffington Post blog and providing information about it?

Adding a new wp client to subdirectory - SEO?
Im working with couple of clients in the travel business. Im building up a network of blogs that add content, internal contextual links and so forth to clients websites. What I want to do is to install a fresh wp client to a subdirectory e.g. www.mydomain.com/blog for every and each client. This way I can get my outsourcing workers to log-in there and write content, add internal contextual backlinks etc. This also solves the problems of letting them learn on various different local CMS systems that are often just in the local language - that nobody understands:) So either I install it as an additional wp client if the clients has a wp client for the root domain. Im wondering what effects this will have on SEO and what is important to do?. E.g. do I install a new sitemap for this new wp client in subdirectory - or do I merge it with the one for the root domain. How? In regard to GA tracking - do I add the same tracking code to the new wp install or somehow merge it into the root domain? Are there some issues I need to worry about especially when using this approach?

2,500 Word blog post? What's your advice?
Most of my blog posts end up being 400-600 words, sometimes more, sometimes less. I have written one that is 2,500 words this time. If it were you, would you make one huge post, or split it into two or three? Or would you say it wholly depends on my site and the type of content? As far as link bait goes, one page is better . . . I guess. But would anyone ever read a 2,500 word blog post, even it it's about a subject he/she is interested in? Additionally, what's better for SEO? Just wants some second opinions. Thanks!

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!

New Content
I am looking to add new content to pages that I currently have on my website. The content on these pages was taken from another provider and my idea is to rewrite the content to make it unique. Because it is duplicate content, these pages don't get much traffic. Should I add the new content to brand new urls or just change the content on these (already indexed urls). The issue has seen these pages contain duplicate content. If the content simply changes, will it recognise these pages as having unique content?
