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

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

Many Blogs or One Blog?
Hi There, Presently I have many blogs across a range of domains, each one targeting the client/type of user interested in that product (or service in this case). I originally set up this strategy to use the content of each blog to create a "link juice farm" (our products are educational courses so have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT target market depending on the course area), which in turn links to the related page/course on our main site. My question is, is this a viable strategy, or should I be focusing on building content only on my main site blog with subcategories for each product? Link juice farming on product/client specific blogs, or focus on content for each course niche on main site, that is the question?! Thanks in advance for you insights here people. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Guest Blogging
I am looking to get into guest blogging for our retail brick-and-mortar store to increase more local search traffic. 1. Any local SEO recommendations/tips you have? 2. Can you post the same article in multiple places? Or is this a huge no-no? 3. For local search, should we focus on article directories or guest blogs? Thanks in advance for your feedback, and sorry that it's a three-parter! 🙂

Can Off-Topic Guest Posts on Quality Sites Hurt You?
Based on recent changes in Google, do you think that an off-topic guest post on a high quality domain will help you or hurt you or have no effect. An example would be if you published a guest article on SEOMoz about SEO but your website sells basketball shoes.

Pagerank and combining pages
I have a site where my homepage is a PR3. My main menu contains 6 links which are all PR1's. Example: Homepage, link1,link2,link3,link4,link5,link6 I have figured a way to make things easier for my users by combining 3 of those 6 links to my home page. So basically link1,link2 and link4 will now point to my homepage where it will contain the content and tools all in one. I will do the proper redirects on those links to point to my homepage again so google knows I moved them. My question is by moving 3 PR1 pages to my home page which is a PR3 will this increase my pagerank for my home page?

Discrepancy in Site Metrics
I site I've been working on has been up since early January. The domain was not new, but no site or links existed prior. Link building finished 2 months ago. There are about 80 fairly high quality links mostly from unique domains, and the site has been doing well with search engines for some time. OSE lists only 24 of these domains (for all pages on the root domain). OSE stats hardly changed in the last update so here's my question: when will OSE data reflect the current reality?
