Blog Influencer's tool
-
Hi Mozzers,
Can you help me with something please. I need a tool (preferably free or low cost) to find a list of influencers (blog or some types of publication) in a particular marketplace. Step 2 would be to see if we can then syndicate content but I need to find them first.
Obviously there Google blog finder and general searches, I've used other tools in the past but a long time ago - what are people using now and what's the best?
Thanks

Hi Mark,
Good idea - I didn't think of the Twitter profiles - I'm a Pro Member so have full access to FW and all the tools.
Thanks for your help

Try Followerwonk.com, now part of the Moz empire. Even if you don't have a PRO account, you can use this tool to search Twitter bios.
So for example you can type "travel blogger" into the search field and it will show a list of people on Twitter who have words "travel" and "blogger" in their bios. These are sorted by followers, so you are likely to see the most influential first (there is also an option to sort by influence).
Click on "more options" and you can add filters. For example, you might want to find travel bloggers in the UK or the US.
A search that I like "Huffington Post travel" (replace it with your area of interest).
In my experience, most bloggers are active on Twitter, so this is a good de facto blogger search tool, and free.

Internet Business Promoter by Axandra is a great tool for finding bloggers. All you do is enter the keywords you're trying to rank for and it will scrape various search engines/websites that match the criteria you selected.
I think they even offer a free trial version of the program, I'd give this a try first. There's some other things you can do too, but it requires using multiple programs.
I, personally, find this to be a great link-building tool/resource for finding 'pillars of industry'.

Another website copying our blog content but credit us. Still bad?
Hi Moz community, A few businesses that we work with are asking if they can leverage our content such as blogs by basically copying it and post it on their site. They will give us credit for the content though. My concern is that going to cause duplicate content issue and hurt us with our SEO? We'd like to provide it to them in a way that would benefit us or at least doesn't hurt us. I can think of a few possible options... 1. Have them only copy part of the content and link back to our site with a link "Read the original article" or something similar 2. Have them implement rel=canonical back to our site 3. Have them just copy the whole thing (because it doesn't really hurt us?). In that case, do we have them link back to us or no? Is there anything I missed? What's the best option for us? Thank you for the help in advance!

Should corporate blog sit outside a corporate website?
Hi guys (& gals) We are in the midst of revamping our own agency website and i used to have blog site that talks about agency's thoughts and elaboration on process etc. I personally feel it could be better to consolidate these content into my agency's url since it will create better relevances and thus improve my DA. Appreciate if i have some feedback if my thoughts are on the right track with the community? J

What's a good way to find recent blog posts about a given topic?
Let's say I want to find blog posts posted in the past week or so about "key west". These posts could be on a personal blog, travel blog, etc. Google News is mostly news sites (not blogs) and Google blog search doesn't work any more. What other good options are there? So far Open site Explorer Just Discovered is the best option I've found, but there is a lot of other stuff mixed in with a few blog posts.

My Guest Blog: Still A Good Link Building Resource?
In an effort to build some links, we want to really work on improving our blog content and exposure. We want to write two quality posts per week, and submit 1 quality guest post every 1-2 weeks. However, we're not sure how to go about submitting guest posts or who to submit them to? I found an all article from SEOmoz http://moz.com/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services but it's from 2010. Is myguestblog still a good source? Are there better ways of doing it? Also, is ever advisable to pay to submit a post? Some of the legal blogs (we're a law firm) have this option, but that strikes me as spammy or low quality links. Just to reiterate, we are striving to write high-quality useful content audiences will find beneficial, not just junk or salesmanship. If it takes longer than a week to write posts like that, that's fine. We just really need some specific advise on who we should be submitting our guest posts to and who we should avoid. Thank you all so much for any advice or suggestions, Ruben

Old articles in a blog
Hi, I would like to know your opinion about old article obsolete in a blog. Do you think it's preferable to totally delete them from Wordpress CMS? Considering the fact that Panda update measures "Bouncing Rate", "Time on site", and all that? Thanks for your opinion and advice! (Sorry if my english is not perfect, 2nd language 😉 )
