Help on article submission
-
I've had a few articles made up about Microsoft Training for the training company I work for. What's the best practice to submitting these articles, any tips on how best to use these articles to boost seo for our website?
All help is greatly appreciated.

In terms of MyBlogGuest I also know a lot of people who have had great success, but like all communities there maybe a few who abuse the system.
It depends on how great the articles are and the situation the company is in, in terms of exposure online. Just because you add the articles to your site doesnt meant that you cannot extract ideas from the same, create brand new articles and guest blog.
Guest blogging is a great way to attract attention to your other content (especially if it is contained on a blog hosted from your site).
MyBlogGuest seems to be a good starting point to me, but if not try going stright for the high value blogs, make sure your blogs are of high value though, and that they suit the place where you are guest posting too..

I don't know the size of your company and its policies, but first make sure that it is OK with your legal department to put the documents out on the web for the public to view. You don't want the articles to be getting a ton of great traffic then hear that they were expressly created for one customer and now that customer is very unhappy that everyone else is getting that content for free.

I agree, talk with bloggers in your niche, post your article to them in email if you can trust them enough. Public facing submission sites are too spammy.

I used to suggest the same as Justin, http://myblogguest.com but the last two times I've used it I have been burned. I submitted well written articles, then a few weeks later they showed up (slightly changed, few words here and there) with my credit / author links not showing up in the posted article.
If they are really well written articles that you think a variety of websites could benefit from mentioning it might be better to place them on your website, I could see some business websites finding the content useful to mention to their readers.

I agree -your best bet is to contact strong related sites and ask them to feature your content.

What is the feeliing of "Here's where our site can help" text links used for conversions?
If you have an ecommerce site that is using editorial content on topics related to the site's business model to build organic traffic and draw visitors who might be interested in using the site's services eventually, what is the SEO (page ranking) impact -- as well as the impact on the visitors' perceptions about the reliability of the information on the site -- of using phrases like "Here is where [our site] can help you." in nearly every article. Note: the "our site" text would be linked in each case as a conversion point to one of the site's services pages to get visitors to move from content pages on a site to the sales pages on the site. Will this have an impact on page rankings? Does it dilute the page's relevance to search engines? Will the content look less authoritative because of the prevalence of these types of links? What about the same conversion links without the "we can help" text - i.e., more natural-sounding links that stem from the flow of the article but can lead interested visitors deeper into the ecommerce section of the site?

Backlinks to internal pages help website to rank better or vice versa?
Hi Moz community, We have our backlinks mostly pointed to our homepage. We are trying to rank better and not having minimum number of backlinks to our internal pages is one of the things I worry about. Backlinks to homepage alone help in ranking internal pages or backlinks to internal pages help in ranking homepage? Or both required? Thanks

Help Me Change My Client's Mind
My client wants to build a second site to provide targeted links for SEO to his main site. He's interested in buying a TLD with some near topic authority/links and then build the second site's authority up from there. He is clear that this could get him in trouble for a link scheme, but thinks it can all be hidden from Google. Off the top of my head I was able to recall a few of the pain-in-the-neck things you'd have to do to not get caught, but he seemed unconvinced. I recall you'd have to have: Different registrar Different contact/WhoIs Different site host Different G/A, GWT Logging into second's site's G/A, GWT with different IP address not used for main domain With the exception of the last one, he didn't seem to think it would be too hard. Aren't there more difficult maneuvers required for hiding this from Google? I want to be able to point out to him how ridiculous this low integrity effort will be, without losing the client. Thanks! Best... Darcy

Both video and article schema markup properties?
I am curious, if i can add both "video" and "article" schema.org markup for my video pages. Currently i have video markup up and running, but it only shows up in SERPs when users browse videos (not web content). Can i add "article" markup as well, so the markup will show on Web search? Thanks, Dime

Google "In-Depth Article" Question
Google started featuring "In-Depth Articles" a few days ago. You can read about them here and here. I have two questions about them... If you already hold a great position in the SERPs. Let's say your existing article ranks at #2 or #3. If that article becomes one of the "In-Depth Articles", will it disappear from the #2 or #3 position? I have lots of content that I could mark as an In-Depth Article, but I don't want to do that if it will pull me out of a hard-earned SERP position. Has anyone seen "In-Depth Articles" that do not have the Schema markup? Thanks!
