Press Release in 3 PR6 Sites against yahoo submission
-
Hi - i have shortlisted 3 pr news sites - prlog.org, i-newswire.com, 24-7pressrelease.com . All 3 have pr6 and have high scores.
Have 2 queries -
a) Is it worth to put backlinks - by taking a paid press release option and spend around 200$ - sole intent is to generate backlinks
b) is the combination effect of these 3 pr sites better than stand alone yahoo direct submission - as have limited budget can do either of them
thnx

Gagan,
Yeah, duplicate content can diminish link benefits. Check out this video from Wil Reynolds about #RCS: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/seomoz-meetup-rapid-fire-link-building-strategies
As for the Yahoo Directory, in my experience I haven't seen any boost in rankings for websites that had this link. Vice versa... I haven't seen a drop off in rankings when the link was taken down.
Focus on QUALITY, not quantity and you'll win in the SERPS.

does a duplicate content by other sites - due to release distribution will take away the link benefit
-
have even checked that way for yahoo directory - for some competition sites - they either dont have pr or have low pr of 1 or 2 where they are listed
pl suggest - am i missing something here with these pr news sites or is yahoo directory still a good way

My honest take is that if you're doing press releases for the sole intent of getting backlinks, it's not a good way to go. Three reasons...
- You're likely going to create a lot of duplicate content with these press releases.
- If the "news" is not newsworthy, it's not going to be picked up by reputable organizations anyway.
- The sites you mentioned may have a PR6 for their home page but the page your press release will be on won't be.
I hope this helps.
Brodie

Redirecting old mobile site
Hi All, Trying to figure out the best option here. I have a website that used to utilize a separate mobile site (m.xyz.com) but now utilizes responsive design. What is the best way to deal with that old mobile site? De-index? 301 redirect back to the main site in the rare case someone finds the m. site somewhere? THanks! Ricky

Site not progressing at all....
We relaunched our site almost a year ago after our old site dropped out of ranking due to what we think was overused anchor text.... We transferred over the content to the new site, but started fresh in terms of links etc. And did not redirect the old site. Since the launch we have focused on producing good content and social, but the site has made no progress at all. The only factor I can think off is that one site linked to us from all of their pages, which we asked them to remove which they did over 3 months ago, but still showing in Webmaster tools.... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

What this site is doing? Does it look like cloaking to you?
Hi here, I was studying our competitors SEO strategies, and I have noticed that one of our major competitors has setup something pretty weird from a SEO stand point for which I would like to know your thoughts about because I can't find a clear explanation for it. Here is the deal: the site is musicnotes.com, and their product pages are located inside the /sheetmusic/ directory, so if you want to see all their product pages indexed on Google, you can just type in Google: site:musicnotes.com inurl:/sheetmusic/ Then you will get about 290,000 indexed pages. No, here is the tricky part: try to click on one of those links, then you will get a 302 redirect to a page that includes a meta "noindex, nofollow" directive. Isn't that pretty weird? Why would they want to "nonidex, nofollow" a page from a 302 redirect? And how in the heck the redirecting page is still in the index?!! And how Google can allow that?! All this sounds weird to me and remind me spammy techniques of the 90s called "cloaking"... what do you think?

Problems with a NoIndex NoFollow Site
For legal reasons my website is going to launch non-branded websites. We do not have the capacity to make these site sufficiently unique from the main site so we are planning on having them be NoIndex NoFollow. Are there any potential SEO problems here? What will the implication be if in ~1-2 years from launching the NoIndex NoFollow we make the site unique, take away the tag and want to start promoting these sites organically. Thanks!

Yelp, yahoo, local directories..
We are currently in one location and we are moving our office. Would it be better to leave all the directories and add new listings with the new address? This way we get 2 listings until someone in this address claims a business here. or Would it be better to change all the existing to the new address?

When is it worth re-structuring your site?
I recently started working on a site that is 8 years old and the currently URLs/ site structure is not SEO friendly. We are concerned that in re-structuring the site, we may loose our rankings. Has anyone ever completely re-structured their site? Was it worth it?

Site: on Google
Hello, people. I have a quick question regarding search in Google. I use search operator [site:url] to see indexing stauts of my site. Today, I was checking indexing status and I found that Google shows different numbers of indexed pages depends on search setting. 1. At default setting (set as 10 search result shows) > I get about 150 pages indexed by Google. 2. I set 100 results shows per page and tried again. > I get about 52 pages indexed by Google. Of course I used same page URL. I really want to know which data is accurate. Please help people!!
