Blogger Outreach - have you used this service before?
-
Hi,
Has anyone used blogdash.com before?
It says it has over 100,000 blog owners registered, which does sound good but when you look at the sites own social following its very poor and when you start to dig a little deeper you can find blog owner profiles like this:
http://www.blogdash.com/blogger/ari-herzog
First view, you think Ari Herzog has signed up to Blog Dash and you can pitch him content for blogs such as Huffington Post and Mashable, took about 10 seconds to realise he isn't actually part of the network as the yellow box is asking him to signup if he ever finds that page.
Has anyone used this service? I can imagine 2% out of the 100,000 are actually members who have signed up.

I'd still be slightly cautious. That blog post is two years old. A lot has changed in two years about the success of such tools.
I would still highly suggest you follow the tips in that other article and earn the link.

Thanks for the reply,
I had a read and some good points.
I don't think all blogging services are bad, I do use MyBlogGuest and have been for a few years now - works really well.

Hi there,
Nope, I haven't heard of it and I'd highly suggest you stay away from it.
You need to do this all manually.
Identify the blogs you wish to be on. Build that relationship. Build that trust. Earn the link.
An excellent article was posted here yesterday - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-blogger-outreach-equation
I dropped a comment on it as well. I'd suggest you read the article and take note of the points. Forget about using anything that makes things easy.
I hope this helps. Need any other help then just shout.

Can anyone recommend a good reliable blogging platform for a small to medium sized manufacturing and services company?
I've been asked by my manager to investigate the best blogging platform for our company website. On a recent CIM course it ways suggested that Wordpress is not necessarily reliable. Could anyone advise? The blog is required to provide a space for current industry news, casestudies etc. It is also envisaged that the blog will allow comments. I've only got good things to say about Wordpress, but have only used the platform for my own small SEO company.

Can you use creative commons non-commercial images on a company blog?
Does anyone know if it is okay to use creative commons images on your company blog if they are under the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic license. Technically you are using it on a commercial site, but you are not directly making money from the image or selling it.

Using testimonials to build quality content
I don't see a lot of talk on here about using testimonials to build good content. From what I have seen, the search engines love client testimonials. I haven't found a good service provider for this yet. I'm thinking something combined with Twitter or FB that also allows you to show the content on your site would be great. Can anyone recommend a service like this? I'm checking out a service called, "Quick Vouch" but I haven't tested it yet.

Are post tags on blogs still useful?
Hello I have a number of sites on Wordpress which all still use the post tag feature. Is this something that I should really be avoiding due to duplicate content issues in the url's of the site, or is it still something that can help SEO wise? I only ask as I did a crawl diagnostics report on SEOmoz and it found that 48 of my title elements were too short due to these tags in the URL's. If you do all suggest I keep using them, should they be 3 odd words which are keywords? Thanks in advance.
