Press Releases & Blogs for SEO
-
Hello,
If I put out too many press releases/blog entries out can google penalize the site?
Also other than wordpress or blogger are there any other free blogs that are worth while? Can hosting on the main site help also? I was thinking of hosting on the main site but I wasnt sure If I needed to buy a new domain name, or just host it as XXXXXX.com/blog
Thank you!

Can i have anchor link from my blog within my domain linking to internal pages or home page of my site? is that a good or bad practice.
-
so If i do a 301 on my current free xxx.wordpress.com blog does it matter that the name does not match?
Yes you can do a 301 redirect from one name to another, it does not need to be relevant it can be www.cat.com to www.dog.com : )
Currently my free blog is my url.wordpress.com, would it be an issue if i did a 301 on it? At that point would my free blog be dead?
I don't think this will be an issue. However I never did a 301 redirect from a free wordpress blog, I know that you can set up the 301 redirect within Google's webmaster tools. Your old feed would be redirecting (when someone types www.oldurl.com they will end up on www.newurl.com) but you can copy all the data to the new location.

I currently have a Free domain.wordpress.com blog, should I transfer that over on my own site if I am hosting?
If you transfer it make sure you can do a 301 redirect so that you keep all your link juice and avoid duplicate content.
**Also I see that wordpress charges an annual fee? is this normal for wordpress? **
Yes this is normal for wordpress.
Would I still have access to themes etc?
No you will not. They belong to wordpress.
In your opinion whats they best way to come up with a good blog name?
Well I like to include the keyword I am targeting in my URL along with my brand name. So if my brand name was Apple Bear Plant Inc. and my keyword was rabbit I would look for a URL like: ABPIrabbit.com

I was thinking having different blogs with different articles, I see my competitors using different sites, with links. Currently my blog/blogs I write content for have links in them that lead back to inner pages on my site.
Thx

Personally I like wordpress. However hosting does not have too much to do with SEO other then the location in which you are hosting. If you are hosting outside of the US it may be a bit more challenging to come up in a SERP within the US.
You can run the external blogs at the same time but why would you want to? It's better to have all your content on your page to gain your own natural backlinks and have more fresh content.

What would you recommend for hosting? which is the best source Wordpress? Currently we have a myurl.wordpress.com site, can we still run these blogs at the same time as our hosted blog? I wasnt sure if google would count link on a hosted blog.
Thank You!!

I would set up my website as www.branname.com and my blog would be www.brandname.com/blog. Create content your users will like and then they will link to and share your blog pages: www.brandname.com/blog/article : )

So I should just come up with a blog name and have it setup as xxxxxx.com/blog? should i also register a domain name?
Thanks

Hello,

Google will panelize a site for search engine manipulation. If you are linking to your site using your keyword ONLY and not using your brand name/URL it will look unnatural and you can get penalized. If you are linking a ton of sites that are not relavent to your site it will also look unnatural.
Also other than wordpress or blogger are there any other free blogs that are worth while? Can hosting on the main site help also? I was thinking of hosting on the main site but I wasnt sure If I needed to buy a new domain name, or just host it as XXXXXX.com/blog
I would recommend hosting it on your site xxxxxx.com/blog, that way when people like your articles and they link to them/share them your site gets the credit : )

Do hyphenated searches impact SEO?
Something I recently considered was whether a hyphen in a search term would effect the results that come up. For example, Is there a difference between using 'i-phone' and 'i phone' as anchor text? Some of my search results seem similar but do show some slight differences. Can anyone shed light on the matter?

Backlinks from archived content? SEO penalty?
I'm curious, if I go to webmasters and suggest a change to an article in their archives (convincing them that the new link offers more value to their readers), how would Google look at that? It seems to me that if a two-year-old article all of a sudden gets a new link, it might look fishy, and might even bring penalties with it. Thoughts?

Is it better to have a blog under your main website's domain or should the company's blog have its own domain?
Is it better to have a blog under your main website's domain or should the company's blog have its own domain? And if the blog is on its own domain, do links to the main site look good or bad to Google? Thanks! (And please feel free to add any other related advice you might have...)

Blog snippets on home page
Mozzes, We're running a real estate portal in which we have a pretty good news/blog section running on wordpress. It's placed into our LAMP site on a dash from our root URL: www.ourportal.com/news/ To attract traffic via our landing pages we publish article snippets from the blog, linked to the complete articles. What would be the optimal SEO here to lead the spiders to the orignal content? Follow, Noindex? Best Johan

Guest blogging company - yay or nay?
I'm considering working with a guest blogging company. The quality of the writing seems to be decent / not spammy. The types of sites they're guest blogging on are... http://theblogabouteverything.com/ http://globalgoodgroup.com/ I know these are fairly generic blogs. Is there any chance of a manipulative link penalty with these types of sites? Thanks!

What % Page Metrics & Social, What % Links?
It seems that a lot of the focus of SEOs, especially whitehat SEOs like SEOMoz and Distilled has shifted a lot more towards improving page metrics (bounce, return rate, etc) and social metrics. I'm curious - And of course, I'm just asking for guesses - But what percent of ranking do you think is page metrics, social metrics and other non-link based metrics and what percent do you think are link based metrics?
