Is publishing content on multiple platforms like Tumblr, Blogger, Posterous, etc. a legit way to build backlinks?
-
My client has a fishing report that is published weekly on his blog. Would it be wise to syndicate that content on these other services with backlinks baked into each one?
Any thoughts?

Saibose,
Do you think links from a wordpress blog are better?
-
Yes they did. Thanks for reminding me about it Keri!

ap4runner, did these responses answer your question, or do you still have open questions? It'd be great to have a reply from you or an answer marked helpful. Thanks!

If this is manual, this would be another channel as you say. So you could create 1 account in each in these sites and manage them very well - following other fishing sites on a given platform, connect to twitter and much more as Barry said.
Then this is totally legit to put an excerpt of the original article, made from scratch or reworded, and then put a link to the full article.

Posterous and platforms like tumblr, blogger do not necessarily count as legitimate backlinks, but they are good for SEO. If you have mentions of these on blogger, tumblr and posterous, you may have a better visibility on SERPs based on Google's algorithm's QDF factor.
Therefore, it maybe a good idea to post on these websites in legitimate ways to get leverage.

Ah, I didn't read this as fake blog, I saw it as manual syndication; rather than say putting a RSS feed on a Facebook page, it was manually posting about it on a 'branded' hosted blog (mydomain.wordpress.com for example).
I think putting content in front of people using whatever channels they already use is a good way of driving traffic and getting links from other influencers on those platforms.

I think you are asking if Google / Bing would consider this out of the guidelines. If you publish the exact same content on blogging platform, you will get not much from these. If you create a LOT of those fake blogs, you may even be penalised.
This may work if performed in a smart manner - different content, no systematic backlink and much more to create a credible blog. This is hard though, if your client is not publishing his content on blog aggregators, I would recommend doing so - just be aware of the risk of being ranked after the aggregator if the client's site has weak mRank.

Yup Well, kind of.
There's a couple of things I do with content that I want to share this way
a) Make sure there are links back to my site and
b) Slightly reword itI'm not talking about spinning the article into 100 different versions, one for each site I'm putting it on (though if you want some names to help you do that... :D), but I try and give the reader a reason to come through to the site proper.
So some sites I post an edited version, some sites I do an editorialised version ie I blog about my blog (yo dawg, I herd you like blogs).
For most value out of them, it's (reasonably) important to actually build the profile of the blog your publishing it on within the community as well, so follow other fishing blogs on each, repost on your tumbler, fill in a full profile, etc
Remember even if some of the places your posting links are nofollowed, having a good social profile is an indicator that you have a legit site (for the time being), so there is value beyond the direct links as well.
However, I wouldn't rely purely on these kind of links to get me ranking.

Backlinks from missing sites
While combing though spammy backlinks, I'm finding a lot of supposedly "active" links that lead to 404 errors, pages that contain no html, domains for sale, and sites that all have a uniform design which I can't tell if they're web host default pages, or pages using a spammy third-party link aggregator (or both).

For example: http://easyreveal.us/ So, do I disavow missing sites? Lost sites? Is there a drawback to disavowing sites that have been removed? Any help would be appreciated.0 -

Link & Content Building
this is a tough one for me. Some of you know that the average SEO contract is fairly limited in budget.Clients in very competitive industries are fearing spending a lot on SEO. I do not think I should list the reasons for this.what do you do with limited budgets for SEO.The onsite-technical optimization is fairly easy and take much prsonal labor but it is manageable.The off-site optimization, links, content , and just getting you client out there is time and funds consuming over the scope of regular projects I know.My question is what do you do with onsite optimization really. I am sure some advice will include write great content, get it out there, guest blogging however those are not readily available and are not fitting the scope of any project.what do you think?

Building Links
Hi everyone, I am new to SEO and in the process of building links the clean way. Any suggestions on how exactly I can find websites that are linking out to quality websites already? I went thru most of my competitors link building strategy - and 90% of their links are done either thru link exchange or paid links. So looking at my competitors strategy does not really help. So I need to find websites/blogs/forums that are ready to link to me if I can show them some useful content. How do I find these websites first? Please help! Cheers! Arjun
