New content checklist
-
Hi everyone,
Hope your day is super fantastic.
I am working on a new content publishing checklist. Once we publish a new article or blog post, what are the sites/ links/ actions to take to distribute the content and "get it out there".
I looked around on here, but couldn't find one.
Let's start a great discussion and then I will compile the answers and publish.
Something like:
Social:
Facebook
Twitter
G+
PinterestBookmark:
del.icio.us
stumble
rededitAnswer Q's:
Yahoo Answers
QuoraWhat do you think? Too secret sauce for a general discussion?
Thanks.

Thanks Dan,
I was really hoping of just a general checklist for any industry any blog.
For instance, once a post gets published, the author should:
Promote their post on G+ and FB, and our company Twitter account.
Add the page to their del.icio.us account. Other "bookmark" sites.
Connect with Top 10 "blogger friends" and let them know the post is up.
Promote on reddit.
Do a couple of general searches around the web and see if any other blog posts would benefit from the content you just posted.
etc.
etc.
We could take this list, clean it up, and boom, might have a pretty darn good publishing/promoting list or infografic for aspiring seo professionals....

Hi Kyle,
Sorry for my late reply.
You are correct, and please let me clarify.
We have a team of 2 writers and 2 others who help/manage social, etc. While the social guys are familiar with SEO, our writers concentrate on producing awesome content for humans, not search engines.
What I would love to develop is a simple checklist of basics to help promote the new content. Once a writer completes a piece, each participating member then has a list of activities to help "promote" the content.
Does that make more sense?
Thanks.

That is a good start but it is important to not just jump into these channels without thinking about the audience - this checklist may sound good for SEO but it is may not be the best for your potential audience.
Explore their communities - for example, if you were targetting SEOs then you would hang out on SEOmoz, share content on inbound.org, comment on searchengineland.com, tweet the industry leaders on Twitter etc. By joining your niche communities you will build up connections and awareness which will help you gain links at a later date.
Before you publish content I would suggest joining in the conversation. That way, when you begin publishing your content you will have a basic following to be able to market to.
There is no secret but to be honest most people on here are very open and willing to share their expertise. I hope this question gains more of a discussion!
What kind of industry is your content targeting? Or is this a general checklist that can be applied to any industry?

There is no "secret sauce" in SEO, Just hard work and knowing what you’re doing. If your blog is not well established I would look into guest blogging with other blogs in your industry so you can build up your name / followers.

Hi I have been working hard and creating valuable content for 2 years now, we create a weekly news letter with around 10 articles and all our customers love it.

Giveaway outreach - duplicate content?
I'm thinking of hosting a giveaway, and promoting this to bloggers. Thinking of how to go about this, I've run into a sort of a road block. I'm thinking the best way would be to attach a flyer detailing the giveaway so that bloggers have easy access to the information. However, I fear that a lot of them will just copy + paste from the flyer straight to a blog post - which will create a lot of duplicate content. Anybody in the community willing to share their experiences and how they were able to go around the duplicate content issue?

Content Now
This is a general question, I was wondering if anybody had used content now before, either for content writing or link building. I've had them mentioned to me by a manager but would like to hear the opinions of others too. Has anybody used anything similar for creating content at all? Thanks

How much important is the connection between content and backlink relevancy?
My question is about the connection between web page content and backlink relevancy, how much it is important? Let’s have an example: If I publish a guest post about “cell phone model review” and get a link back to my website which is on the subject of “cell phone monitoring”. Now my question is: Is this a relevant and good quality backlink? As content is about “cell phone Model Review” while the backlink is about “cell phone Monitoring”, How Google would take this as if; 1- Anchor text is “cell phone monitoring” 2- Anchor text is URL based

Subdomain, Subdirectory or New Site?
Hi, we are currently exploring a new business sideline to our normal business (we are an emergency property & auto locksmith service). Our site has been established since 2005 (ish) - lockcity.co.uk The new sideline will also be another roadside emergency service but has nothing to do with keys/locks. In our marketing, we will be explaining that our new service is a trademark of Lock City, which will help customers understand why a Lock City van will be arriving. It doesn't make sense for us to have another page on the lock city web site to advertise this service, so wondered if you can recommend if I make a sub domain or create a new site? I understand that I am starting again with a new site, so the subdomain seems more favourable at the moment - but will this leak link juice from our existing business? Looking forward to some expert advice! Many thanks Regards, Abi

Anybody tried the content syndication network SYNND?
I know, I know, you should really create great content that attracts great links, but if you're looking to outsource, what do you think about an outfit like SYNND http://synnd.com/ ? I'm worried that it may be shady or that the links will end up leaving a footprint and that the links will not help promote the content and only end up hurting rankings. Any thoughts? Are there any good paid link building services? Not sure who to trust. Thanks!
