yes that's right but getting content on your own site is a case where we are getting fresh content on our site which is a ranking factors in Google but getting a link from another site though blogs is a different thing.

Thanks mate, I didnt think about that!! More than few blogs on the same id might be taken as similar to blog network ..

Do you guys think that adding good quality blogs to blogger.com and then getting a link from those blogs will help ?

I normally do a manual search for my keywords as most of them as inside top 50

Also, Google rankings are different for different Google settings like it will be different for Australia while different for different states in Australia.

No Google will not penalise your site for adding phone nos.

But Its best practice to add keyword than phone no for ex:

Keyword- Phone no| Company name

thanks mate!

thanks Nakul yeah I know things have really changed now. Its much more complex than before.

thanks Keri !

yeah I understand It takes time but most of the sites have strict policy that we can not put any other sites links and its making link building via blogs more and more difficult because of the huge number of spammers on web. And content marketing is future of SEO. So things are getting bit tough for SEOs I guess.

Is there any good blog submission site which does not have long waiting period before article is published and which allows followed link from blog?

I have a list of such blog submission sites but they all either need weeks delay till it gets approved or never gets approved.

So I would really appreciate If you can tell me some of such sites that you are aware of..

If a site is cached on say 9 oct 2012 doesn't that also mean that Google crawled it on same date ? And indexed it on same date?
