Should bio information be consistent?
-
I write a blog and at the bottom I have a little bio area, see this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/KG9ghNdRlnO What I am wondering is should I keep this consistent from post to post? Or should I vary them? Is there any benefit in either? Also when I guest post on other peoples blogs should I use the same, or another bio?

Hello,
There definitely wouldn't be any harm from using a consistent bio and definitely help your branding but from an SEO perspective I could see varying it slightly based on what page or site it is on. Fore example to help build more direct links to your Prestashop services landing page I would create a bio flaunting your expertise in Ecommerce and Prestashop and choosing the anchor text accordingly. On the other hand if you're trying to increase your PA on your SEO landing page and your guest post is SEO related then why not make the link in your bio that much more relevant?I think creating 3 slightly diff bios that funnel link juice based on your priorities is a good idea.

Lesley,
I cannot speak from an SEO perspective but from a personal branding perspective it is good to maintain the same themes throughout your BIOs. You may want to focus on different sub points but the overall positioning and high points should be consistent.

Chat GPT
I want to get your thoughts on Chat GPT for creating articles on my site to drive SEO. Does Google approve of this type of content or not? I seems quite good quality - I suppose a key question also is: is it duplicate content? I have used on Propress website and also on blog sites so need to understand if this will reduce my rankings. Thanks

How to get readers to engage with content
Hi everyone! Over the last year and a half, we've ramped up our content generation and have now hit our stride with a steady stream of blogs and videos. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, we are seeing great results. The problem is that the qualitative feedback is always passive. When we see clients, partners, etc. in person, they tell us that they love the content, but no one ever leaves comments or uses the call to actions to submit their info. There are some social shares, but now that LinkedIn no longer has a counter, it's hard to tell how much. I'm looking for advice on strategies to get more active engagement with our content. The ideal outcome would be active conversations and lead generation. Thanks everyone!

Internal Links from Blog
Quick question. In regards to linking to products from your blog. I've read recently that linking excessively between your site can be a bad SEO habit. So, I was curious if anyone else has heard of this. Plus, if you have a blog, how many internal links should you have going to you pages on your site - other blogs, products etc? Thanks.

Displaying archive content articles in a writers bio page
My site has writers, and each has their own profile page (accessible when you click their name inside an article). We set up the code in a way that the bios, in addition to the actual writer photo/bio, would dynamically generate links to each article he/she produces. Figured that someone reading something by Bob Smith, might want to read other stuff by him. Which was fine, initially. Fast forward, and some of these writers have 3,4, even 15 pages of archives, as the archive system paginates every 10 articles (so www.example.com/bob-smith/archive-page3, etc) My thinking is that this is a bad thing. The articles are likely already found elsewhere in the site (under the content landing page it was written for, for example) and I visualize spiders getting sucked into these archive black holes, never to return. I also assume that it is just more internal mass linking (yech) and probably doesnt help the overall TOS/bounce/exit, etc. Thoughts?
