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 : )

SEO question about lots of outbound links
I'm considering adding a directory page to one of my websites that lists local groups from all around the world. I haven't kept up with SEO in a long time, but I recall (many) years ago that having a lot of outgoing links and very few (if any) inbound connections was a terrible thing. Is this still the case, or have search engine algorithms figured out that this can be beneficial to site visitors? What effect will adding a page like this have on my SEO?

Is commenting on other peoples blogs / articles good for seo?
Hello everyone, Just a quick question, say if I find some websites which are relevant to my service and they have articles I can comment on and include my URL , will these help for SEO?

Would these links be classed 'follow' or 'nofollow' links - could something please explain what this means aswell. Thanks very much!

Techniques for Finding Blogs that Accept Guest Blog Posts
I'm running into an issue where we are having difficulty finding blogs that accept guest blog posts after doing this on 300 or so blogs. We usually Google "guest post" related keywords with "blog" or take blogs off of lists of sites that accept guest blog posts. What techniques do you recommend? Do any of you use myblogguest.com with any success?
