Yes, go into webmaster tools, fetch and submit your URL's. When you submit a URL in this way Googlebot will crawl the URL, usually within a day and then consider it for inclusion in its index.

RE: What is better for SEO, keeping a current blog or creating a new one?
I'd either use a plugin or RSS feed from the current blog for the new site. If the content is good enough you want to be passing as much PA to the new page. An external blog with inbound anchor text can be misconstrued as link manipulation (or link wheeling ). I'd only bother with external if you use it for co-citation and/or diversifying your anchor text.

RE: What is the best way to share good content (and help myself in the process)
I find social outreach is the best plan of action for back links. I usually find a good article (usually from an author with active social presence) , copy the best paragraph from said article and then do a write up quoting from that article. Once written, then tweet, post (google +, Facebook, ect) the author. Saying you have done write up on them and to come check you out. Build a relationship and hopefully you will get linkin return.
Rand and Ruth Burr have done some good videos on the topic:

Hope this helps.

RE: Does spinning content work any longer?
I spin content on a daily basis and haven't noticed any sufficient drops as a byproduct. I think if you do it right it shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you change the title, sentence structure, paragraph structure, anchor text and outbound links.
Also how often does the specific site/blog link to the page your trying to rank for? The beauty of having 10-15 clients is that when it comes to blog spinning each article, the anchor text is diverse to the previous 10 blog posts already posted.
Mix things up and make the content unique and you shouldn't have an issue.

RE: Help on blog topics for my niche
Lots of things you can do, normally when i'm struggling for content i'll merge current events with an industry spin.
For Example:
UTXs and trackside drainage.
Find a latest news article about the recent flooding that is/was affecting transport and refer the link around the industry (email, social media ect) get people opinion (you could possibly get a guest blogger or get a industry head quote) a good piece of content could lead to inquiries.
other suggestions would be:
- Product History
- Advancing technologies
- Company snippets (target, sales, charity ect)
- Sales targeted blog
- facts and facets
- Top ten lists ect

RE: Does spinning content work any longer?
Keri,
Of course, that level of copy-writing, should be penalized, especially if they are that lazy to create an article that doesn't make sense.
I'm talking about top quality spinning. Something that Journalist and PR Specialist do, day in, day out. In fact, the majority of the news stories written today would of been reworded from another source. How else can news spread across outlets if it is all seen as related/duplicate content?
If i get 5 stories, take a piece from each story and reword it and add my opinion, at what point does Google see this as spun content?
It can't. Otherwise the majority if not all of the blogosphere would be seen as duplicate.I wouldn't even class this as grey hat. Just unoriginal topics with a differing opinion.

A single blog on my own servers, used a "fashion news" related site, with the occasional client anchor text dropped it, it has active social presence with many followers and ranks highly.
Manipulation of semi grey hat methods is needed for smaller clients. It is this stepping stone that creates traffic and leads to more organic methods in the future.

RE: "ghost" links on opensite explorer
No OSE isn't being crazy, My guess would be lazy link building. Check your SERPs results and see if you have dropped in any keyword positions.
If you have, use the Disavow tool on webmaster tools to get rid of any crappy links.
