Are there any reputable & affordable blog/article submission services nowadays?
-
Since the calamity of Penguin I know several article submission websites got a really bad wrap (many deservedly so). However if done carefully and legitimately I believe article promotion can still be a bona fide SEO link building tool.
I currently have a client that has hundreds of good blog posts. We have done some modest article promotions via local news websites. However I feel like this content could use more of a push.
Does anybody know of any reputable article/blog post promotion websites?
-
We are already doing FB syndication and publishing on our blog. I'm just trying to find more avenues to promote this content (safely). My client has 5 blog posts a week.
-
If this is good content why not host on your site and use the money from syndication to promote it via Facebook ads or another medium targeting valuable customers?
I'd stay clear of all article directories.

I have worked quite a few website that were under the attack of penguin and while working on the disavow tool, I tell you working with article submission websites is not at all a good idea. I mean if you have a good blog, you can always hire an outreach person to get more eyeballs and links for your content but republishing on article submission website is not something I personally would recommend.
Instead, I would recommend reaching out to the right kind of audience and get some links back to the content, you can reuse the content as in if you have text content at the moment you can create infographic out of it and use it on several different website with a link back to your original content, you can try guest posting, broken link building and the other countless ideas but article submission is not one of them.
Just a thought!

Bit.ly Links & Google
Does Google treat bit.ly links differently? If someone linked to my site through bit.ly, would Google see that link as if they had used the normal (exmaple.com/blogpost/) link?

Help with blog for linkbuilding location.
I work for a company that has www.widget.com. This is the site we do all our business under. Right now there is no linkbuilding so I would like to create a blog to start linkbuilding. We also own www.widget.info. Can I run the blog under .info and still get the credit on the .com or are they considered completely separate entities that have nothing to do with one another? The reason I would prefer it on the .info is it gives me complete control. By putting it on out .com I have to talk to the developers to install wordpress and mysql, when I would much rather just be able to do it on my own. Any ideas?

Automatic Directory Submissions
I was talking to someone about automatic directory submissions with someone lately, and would love the thoughts of the community here. Basically, the thought was that automatic directory submissions wouldn't get flagged by Google, because they're directories, not necessarily spam links. Is this still true in a post-penguin world? He hasn't seen any negative effects from it yet, but I'm still cautious. My thoughts would be not to depend on the automatic submissions, but to use them as a supplement. If a handful (maybe 50/mo) of directory links could be submitted automatically, that could free up more time for content development and promotion, which is where I believe the real value lies. It would also help skeptical clients feel better about having a certain number of links. So, what have you seen so far? Is this dangerous, safe, or fairly pointless?

Guest Blogging as an Agency
Hi, I have the following problem regarding guest blogging. When sending out the pitch one can utilise the client's email so it appears coming from the business/client itself rather than an SEO agency. However the problem that I am facing is what author bio to use. Is it good to sign the posts as the internal SEO agency copywriters, as the client or I have found some suggesting to create a fake persona. If the client or client staff as the author bio is not a solution what is the best way? I hope my question is not confusing but this would really help me out. Thanks in advance Kind Regards, Conrad

Is it whitehat to offer products for a review & link?
It seems to me that if you can offer content for a link back, you should be able to offer a product for a review and a link. Any thoughts?

Hello, one of my competitors built all these blogs and pointed them to their main site.. Is this white hat? http://steelbuildingsblog.org/ PR3 http://metal-church-buildings.net/ PR2 http://commercial-metal-buildings.org/ PR2 http://metalandsteelbuildings.net/ PR1 http://steel-storage-buildings.org/ PR2 http://texas-steel-buildings.net/ PR2 http://steel-metal-buildings.org/ PR3 http://metal-buildingstore.com/ PR2 http://metalagriculturalbuildings.net/ PR3 Also I am looking at my links vs. theirs and they have a much higher point score for links... But the company I am doing SEO for has most of same quality links. Can this be the reason they have an edge?
