Want to Add Already Distributed Content to My Internal Blog
-
I want to add already distributed content to my internal blog. I have very useful articles on different topics which I have submitted to different article directories.
Yesterday, I have started my internal blog and want to add all content which I have submitted to different external websites.
So, Can I do it or not? I have confusion about duplication between my site and external websites.

EGOL,
Good to know, That's interesting to know about filtering of weaker domains. I have very big question in my mind. I have given too much efforts to create these contents for distribution in external websites. Now, I have internal platform to share my content or knowledge associated to products for my buyers.
Because, this will give me good benefits rather than external websites. I am not focusing about external links. I am selling patio umbrellas and have 20+ How to, DIY or related content which may helpful to my buyers.
So, I have big question about my organic performance which is associated to products level. Google will find out duplication due to my blog section. That's for sure. But, will it create negative impact to my organic ranking which is associated to product level pages or categories?
-
I would not publish these duplicates if my site was weaker than other sites where they will be published. From what I have seen the strongest domains with these articles will display in the SERPs. Weaker domains will be filtered. I don't believe that timestamp or original source is very important. Plus, if you have a lot of dupe content rankings across your domain could be reduced.
-
Search engines will look at the timestaps to determine where the content has orginated. So best to start from scratch or use similar topics.

Hi CP,
The fact is, that I wouldn't republish those articles that were already published to article directories. There are a lot of content scrappers which use these article directories. and you don't want to publish articles that have been copied many-many times.
This is only my opinion. Start building up new content, Query Deserves Freshness will just love it
Good luck!

Do links from International SEO counterpart site carry weight?
Hi everyone! One of our clients has a competitor who has an international reach with their website. Their hreflang goes from Brazil, German, US, China, etc. We found that the Chinese site (.cn) sends over 900,000+ backlinks to the main US site (.com). The hreflang for the site has the .com US version of the site as the canonical. So my question is - does our competitor get any link equity from the 900,000 links they are getting from their Chinese (.cn) version of the site? My initial thought is that because they are marked up with hreflang and canonical tags, those 900,000+ links wouldn't' have any equity? Would love some thoughts/guidance on what others think.

Does spinning content work any longer?
A few years ago, I used Free Traffic System, and spun a bunch of content to get links. I still have tens of thousands of these links showing up in stats. They were probably not good quality links. Will I get penalized if I pick up the spinning game again?

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?

Publish content on current domain for content boost or new domain for links?
I have about 1000 unique and organically generated articles. My quote compare business has had briefs submitted by clients for over two years. The content has only been accessible to registered members. I want to polish it ASAP. Is it better to publish the content on the existing website in a sub folder or set up a new website to publish the content and have every article link back to the main website? Content is around 300 words x 1000.

New Blog
Hello, We have an online soccer equipment retail store (http://www.soccerstop.com) that we have been working on to get higher ranking results in many different areas of specific product pages, as well as our general homepage for several years. SeoMoz has been an excellent addition for us to learn and analyze, etc. In addition to our current PPC, and SEO efforts, we are going to create a blog as we have many thoughts, opinions and interesting information for what hopefully will be a good sized audience of soccer enthusiasts! We currently have a person who goes on other soccer blogger websites and offers our thoughts and expressions, but we now want to give our own blog. My thought is to create a subdirectory of our domain something like: http://www.soccerstop.com/blog as that seems what is recommended in many posts here in this forum. I am also thinking of using wordpress blog as it also seems recommended. We have a lot of ideas about content, and feel we will bring people to our blog in various ways through our existing and coming customers at the retail online store. However, it seems to get the best backlink performance possible out of our new blog, we need to join blog networks to get our blogs posted on outside third party websites. Is this right, and where would I begin to understand and start this process? I understand the first step is to get our blog started, but I want to foundationally have an idea where we are going with this as we build. This way it is built in a sound way, ready to be as effective as possible! Please understand I am a builder and not the blogger, which is why the structure and initial setup of syndication is so important to me! Thanks for any advice.
