PR Media and Syndications
-
I’ve noticed that lot of my competitors who have good results in SERPs use or have used Pr Release and syndication to hundreds and thousands of sites. Just wondering how Google will react to the article that is published in different sites and has the same content and anchor link. Will it be considered a spam or no? Is it advisable to go with pr syndications after Penguin and Panda updates or no?
Thanks.

Thanks got the concept..

I would leave keyword density out of it - go ahead and do press releases, but your goal should be media coverage, not link building/SEO.

Well said Ruth, I also don’t favor the idea of duplicate content and anchored links from 1000’s of web sites. With new PR I’m trying to introduce the new product line that is described in a sub page of the web site. So you recommend contacting the PR media and asking them for a PR in their own words with necessary keyword density?
Thanks.

I would say, don't use press release syndication as a way to build links - it tends to generate duplicate content an David's right, the links aren't worth much. Instead, use PR the way PR is traditionally used - to build awareness and encourage media outlets to cover your stories in their own words. The last thing you want is for your own content to outrank you on somebody else's site!

Thanks David,
I don't want to do something and later regret about it. The best practice is to follow search engine guidelines. What I want to do is to get exposure and links that will be in help. I want the article to be in a user friendly way that will interest readers. Questions like: How the title should be written? Is the brand name supposed to be in the title? What is the best keyword density that I should keep? Should I use multiple keywords or just one with synonyms? How large should I go with syndication, 50 sites or 1000 sites? Are bothering me and as of now I don’t have any answer to these concerns. Can you provide me the best pr release writing tips, or an advice to mentioned above questions that might be in help?

Real companies use this as a marketing tactic thus google can never penalize you for something like this the most they will do is devalue the links.

Social Media Content Duplicacy?
Since, Social media signals are taken into account for SEO activities. Do you think that Social Profiles account content will also be taken into account? Or is it that how many fans, share, likes a profile has gets into account for SEO activities. Like more number of fans the higher the social value for SEO? Secondly, if someone re-tweets or shares. The content gets duplicated into number of profiles re-tweeted or shared? & what we even do is copy content from other pages, do slight changes & post on our pages? Do you think it will affect the SEO part?

Moving to subdirectory from subdomain, where subdomain PR is equal to root domain PR
Hi all, I'm currently in the process of revitalizing my company's blog. Currently, the blog sits on a subdomain (blog.rootdomain.com). SEO best practice dictates that I should move this (and 301 redirect the old URLs) to rootdomain.com/blog to concentrate link equity and avoid the risk of having search engines treat the subdomain as separate from the root domain. However, the PageRank Status extension for Chrome is reporting that the PR for the blog on the subdomain and the root domain are the same. Is there any benefit to migrating the subdomain to a subdirectory? Is that data accurate enough to base decisions off of?

Social Media - big ranks it seems from it
Hi there, one of our big competitors is ranking first for a huge key term. We were wondering how they did it, so i went through normal processes: Age of domain - reasonable. Unique content - a little but the ranking page has pretty much none - meaning panda update isn't applying here, Back-links - nothing special really, not enough to be above everyone in my opinion. Then i had a look at social media shares, over 2,000 mainly as facebook shares. So i went on their facebook profile and it does not seem like they are spamming content on there. Are these shares from users sharing the link? if so can i find out how many per post? i imagine there is a team setup to share this content when it is published on their facebook page? It just seems so very unfair they are ranking number one like this, the content in their site is poor, it's not a relevant domain either. So much for panda update eh? Any thoughts appreciated.

Which link url placement to buy - High PR vs. High PA?
I'm about to buy one directory link (just the one!) but can't decide which URL to place my link on in that directory because of the varying metrics - which is better of the below (bearing in mind my own site is still a PR0 sitewide)? www.exampledirectory.com/categoryA/subtategory1/

Metrics: 21 linking domains, PA 44, DA 59, PR0 www.exampledirectory.com/categoryA/
Metrics:1 linking domain, PA 35, DA 59, PR5 I know PR is no longer relevant and usually ignore this metric (except for possible penalties) and just focus on Seomoz toolbar metrics, but as my own site itself is PA:37 and DA:28 homepage but PR0 completely sitewide (over 6 months old but relatively new site), I thought this might help to balance things. Thanks for your advice.0
