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.

Using Brand Descriptions
We have an online site with approximately 800 products. When we add new products we typically use the photos and product description provided by the brand. The problem is there are numerous other sites using the same descriptions. All other content on the site is original. Is having small blocks of content that are the same on multiple sites likely to cause problems with Google?

Content Syndication Service
Am curious to get the forum's opinion on content syndication services like SYNND . Has anyone tried them or any other content syndication networks. Does the forum have any recommendations for good quality syndication networks that can be used to distribute content to quality sources.

Should we be using a blog for news
Our domain has/had a blog on a seperate subdomain. However we were a little slack in always keeping this up to date when we are particularly busy. Rather than reinstating the blog, I have been adding all our new articles directly onto the website rather than as blog posts. Is there any advantage from an SEO perspective to posting articles to a blog rather than as content on a site?

If we use content copied from another site ( assuming we have not plagerized), does it hurt our Google Rankings?
We have permission from another company to copy their content and use it on our site. This happens when we are describing a manufacturer's product and we copy pages from their site and add these pages to our site in order to describe the product we are selling. Is this considered duplicate content? Can this practice hurt us?

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.
