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.

What are the best widgets to use on Wordpress? And what is most useful on Wordpress for content syndication?
We are in the process of researching the best plugins and widgets for our clients' blogs. It appears that SEO by Yoast is most popular for 2013 so far. Any recommendations on which widgets we should be using or plugins for content syndication? If we use something like the Jetpack plugin, would this do the trick?

What is the best practice for using the same content on two pages?
I have two websites in a very similar niche(s)...I have good unique content article that I would like to use on both sites because it adds value to the visitor experience.. Example: Science of Colors would be very useful for my seattle house painting paint colors page. I want to have content so they do not need to leave the site to navigate to second site. Would the identical content trigger a penalty or would it be crawled, ignored, and not indexed. Does having a rel=authorship on one site trump the site..Or is it a pile of BAD.

Using own domain for Google blog
Is it worth the effort using your own domain for a Google blog? After adding my own domain to a blog I see a boost in ranking, maybe the url has more value without the blogspot extension, or that Google might treat the (max.10) pages you produce under your own domain as "independent" thus giving you the chance of building your own domain trust...?
