Where is the best place, from an SEO perspective to have my articles published?
1: My WordPress blog
2: As A guest post on another site.
3: Within the normal pages of my site.
Here is my site: www.fvl.co.uk
Any help and or advice would be gratefully recieved.

I would say both, your blog and guest post. You want people to know that you exist, that is why guest blogging is great, because in addtion to the link, you are in front of an audience that otherwise would have never heard of you.
But...if they visit your site, you need to have useful, relevant and helpful content so your new visitors stay on your page. Secondly, you want Google to associate your keywords to your site.
So do both, have great content on your site and write awesome guest posts.

Site/blog either or. rel=auth is markup language used to show you are the author of the content. I would detail how to setup and use, but others have long since done so:

The beauty is really in having a snippet with your pic in SERPS where your article shows up. I believe that over time it will become a trust component within the algo, but it remains to be seen.

Thank you for your response, excuse my ignorance but what is rel=auth ? when you say I can still have the article on my site as well, do you mean my site or my blog or would you consider them the same?
Thanks

Andy,
Here is a hint...it is number two. Especially if the site is similar, etc. and they use reasonable anchor text. I would suggest you utilize rel=auth on your articles.
You can still have the article on your site as well.
Best,
Robert

Press Release Sites
Has anyone ever used macreportmedia.com for press releases? I normally use PR Web. This new company contacted me and it sounds pretty good, but I don't really trust anything without reviews, and I can't seem to find any out there. Has anyone had any luck with these guys? If not, can you suggest anything other than PR Web that you've had success with? I'm really looking for the SEO benefits of the releases more than the publicity.

Google and low quality guest posts
In the aftermath of the Penguin and Panda monsters a lot of blog networks seem to have been devalued by Google. It seems logical that spammers will flock to low quality guest posting next. How do you think Google will determine which guest post links to devalue? Thanks!

Why Post Useless Blog Comments
I notice that I'm getting a lot of spammy blog comments on a personal interest site. Why would someone go to all that trouble to get a nofollow link that will most likely not be approved?

Google penalizing sites because of press release pages?
Does anyone know of situations i can look up where Google penalized a site because of press release pages (hosted on a non owned major site like prweb or whatever), where the prweb page obtained back links from a group of sites that Google felt was part of a "farm"?

Changing Category Names in Wordpress Blog & Inbound Links
I'm working on a wordpress blog, /www.athleticfoodie.com, and I'd like to change the names of the categories so that I include keywords. If I change the current category name of "Healthy Recipes" to "Recipes for Athletes" will I lose the inbound links associated with the category and/or posts? Is there a way to prevent this?
