Does PR Content need to be unique?
-
Hi,
I've noticed that some our competitors are publishing unique content for each PR websites. Is that how it should be?
Thanks

Assuming you're not just using cheap press release services and are happy to invest time into PR activity to improve the chances of it being successful, it makes sense to tailor you press release for the audiences you send it out to.
Don't think of it in terms of unique vs duplicate content, consider whether the article is a good fit for the audience of the publisher you're pitching it to. If it isn't re-write it so it is.

Hi there,
PR is one of the most effective ways to gain traction within minimum amount of time if done properly and a PR with unique content is the way you should go otherwise, the purpose behind gets a hit. Having said how powerful a PR can be, utmost care should be taken not to abuse it. We should be coming up with a PR only when we have a newsworthy article or some interesting stuff about something like a product launch etc. Over doing or releasing PRs too frequently will do more harm than good.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi.

Need clarification on Linking strategy and whether I am doing more harm than good?
I wanted to get an opinion of whether a new strategy is wise or profoundly idiotic. Here is the scenario. We have a branded site that offers villa rentals around the world but we also have separately branded geo specific websites that focus on villas rentals at a specific destination meaning the villas are mutually inclusive on the sites but we try to differentiate them with different descriptions and markups. This is what we did. We have a magazine associated with the global company that posts articles 1 to 2 times a day and it is set up as a subfolder on the global website. The articles have revelant links to the global company landing pages as well as relevant villa pages. Additionally, we embed links to the geospecific websites as well if an article features a destination, topic or villa that is relevant to both the geospecific and global website. Moreover, In we have aggressively cross linked relevant keywords from specific villa pages (ie villa xyz on Barbados) to the magazine as well as to the root domain of the global website and other relevant pages. But we do not link the geospecific site back to the magazine or global site. Since we implemented this strategy, the rankings on our global site have dropped and the specific villa page on the global site (villa xyz on Barbados) has dropped precipitously for that villa xyz keyword. The complicating feature in all of this is that we have been launching new sites and fixes in the past month so I am not exactly sure what is the cause of the drop but I have a suspicion that the aformentioned issue may be a contributing factor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Duplicate Content Question
Hi Mozers! I have a client who, before coming to me, created a good site with about 100 pages of useful unique content however used services that landed them with a link profile that included 100's of backlinks with the same anchor text (for each pages' few targeted keywords). There are so many backlinks that trying to escape the filters naturally would be nearly impossible...and not really worth the effort if it were possible. While the approach was bad, due to G's new anchor text filters, my question is really about the content on the site itself. There is nothing wrong with it. It is unique, kw targeted without being spammy and helpful to the reader. There are two approaches I'm thinking here: 1. Scrap the whole site (as it wasn't all that architecturally sound anyhow) and try to keep the content for another new site...done the right way from the start. 2. Delete the site's pages where the bad anchor text profiles are pointing and create a new page/URL, using the same content...to get out of the filter frenzy. It is a bit of a weird situation I know, but would Google see that as duplicate content, even if I went into Webmaster tools and tried to remove the pages from the index first? Is this a reasonable solution or is the content a lost cause? Even if I do delete all those pages that have the poor link profiles, would all of those spammy backlinks pointing to a non-existent page on my clients' site effect the site overall? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance-

Quality Content...Sizzle
I see tons of 'push quality content'... push quality content.. Ok Ok. However, I am a little confused about this. Maybe I am understanding it wrong. Say I have a website about donuts. I am going to try to promote my donut website so people can see all my latest donuts and hopefully they will come into my local store and purchase them. I interpret quality content as writing about the topic of donuts. However, people who eat donuts probably don't care about the history of donuts, or the different types of dough used. They probably could care less about statistical facts that explain how my fictional donut company uses a whole wheat dough which will lower their cholesterol. What they want to see is a fat donut with icing on it. They want to see someone biting into it and enjoying it. How does a local donut company go about becoming #1 on the serps if they do not want to write constantly about all things donuts? A video would be nice for them perhaps? Like I said, perhaps I am overthinking this. But I have understood the best way to write quality content is to identify a problem that people are having, then find the solution, then write about it (or video). But sometimes people just need to be TEMPTED. Coca-Cola uses awesome commercials to promote their business. They are not writing articles about high fructose corn syrup. How does this so called 'temptation' factor play into SEO? I want to sell the sizzle not the sausage. Ultimately marketing is about getting more sales which means more money for the business. Being high on the SERPs helps get more sales (hopefully). Writing quality content is great and I am sure it works in plenty of areas. But I am not sure how to apply it to certain industries. Creative marketing ideas have to come into play to market the fake donut business. How do you tie these other strategies in so they help you with SEO? All I can think about is posting a 'cool' video on youtube/facebook and trying to get people to like it. Cross your fingers and hope it goes somewhat viral? Thanks!

Can too many high PR links can hurt SEO
I recently accuired about 10 PR 4- 5 for my website after getting mostly PR 1-2 for the past 6 months. After a couple of day my rankings not only didn't go up, but actually went down really drasticly for many keyphrases that i used to rank at the top 3. Should i keep building those high PR links in the same fast pace, should i slow down? Or maybe i should even those out with some low PR link?
