Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For the past few years I have been publish press releases on my site for a number of business. I have high traffic on my site.

I noticed that with the Google Panda 2.5 update PRNewswire.com dropped visibility by 83%.

Should I stay away from publishing press releases now? Does Google consider Press Releases to be "content scraping" since multiple sources are publishing the release?

With Google releasing that instructional on proper pagination I finally hunkered down and put in a site change request.

I wanted the rel="next" and rel="prev" implemented… and it took two weeks for the guy to get it done. Brutal and painful.

When I looked at the source it turned out he put it in the body above the pagination links… which is not what I wanted. I wanted them in the .

Before I respond to get it properly implemented I want a few opinions - is it okay to have the rel="next" in the body? Or is it pretty much mandatory to put it in the head?

(Normally, if I had full control over this site, I would just do it myself in 2 minutes… unfortunately I don't have that luxury with this site)

Spec work is terrible and undervalues the industry. I say you get what you pay for. http://www.no-spec.com/

It is pretty much covered in this article by Danny Sullivan.

Excerpt: So use the tag? Sure, if you want to take a chance that by overstuffing it, you’ll cause Bing to think you’re spamming. Be safe, be smart, save your time. Don’t use it.

Ah perfect! Thanks for the recommendation on the 302.

I got more out of todays webinar than any other seomoz webinar to date. Great job.
