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.

Duplicate content: One version is commercial and the other non commercial for linking purposes
I wanted to know if the following plan would be considered white hat or black hat. I am in the process of creating an instructional how to guide for a particular task. My how to guide will be a DIY guide so that with time and practice, customers can do this task for themselves and save money. I think that it would be a great resource. I want to ask other websites for links to this how to guide but the problem is that my blog has a commercial feel to it. These other websites that I plan on asking for a link probably won't link to my site because it promotes my services. They would be non profits, etc. My site needs to appear non commercial. In order to get around this stigma, I want to duplicate my how to guide twice on my blog. The first instance will be for normal visitors searching for my services. In the second instance, my banner, my tel number, my call to action will be deleted from my site. My website will be neutral. When I request a link from the non profits, I plan on sending a link to the neutral portion of my blog in the hopes that they will see a non commercial site and link to me. What do you think? I could also tell the webmasters that I've neutered my website for this resource only. Will this plan give link juice to my root domain?
