Blog commenting still ok for 2013?
-
im trying to rank for some keywords but more importantly increase my Domain Authority its only a 15 and my Page Authority is 28 I need to increase those what would be a good way to start doing that. I do rank well for some keywords just not all
Any ideas to help me build links and become a more relevant source. We have TONS of content compared to our competitors
site name is www.greensidelawncare.com

I agree. The text is too over-optimized. It might scare customers aware because it is not so natural sounding.

and become a more relevant source
I think that you have optimized your pages beyond the point of relevance.
"Greenside Lawncare offers the following services: St. Charles Lawn Care, St. Peters Lawn Care, O’Fallon Lawn Care, Lake St. Louis Lawn Care, Wentzville Lawn Care, Chesterfield Lawn Care, and Maryland Heights Lawn Care."
If you rewrite in natural language your rankings might go up and your visitors might respond better to your website.
They know you are in the lawn care biz.

I'd say blog commenting is still ok, so long as you don't try to stuff your link and target anchor text in every comment possible. You should mix it up and try to start a conversation, and then maybe in your second reply, drop a link to your site.
Many blog comments are NoFollow anyways, so they won't pass much or any SEO juice along to your site. It might, however, attract visitors to you site.

Migrating blog posts to new site
I'm in the process of setting up a new site for a client, moving them over to WordPress from Joomla. They've got 50ish blog posts on their old site, but none of them have accumulated any external links. Is it worth it to copy them over to the new site for the sake of retaining all that content, or better just to start from scratch?

Is Infographic Distribution Still OK?
Hi Mozzers. I'm designing an infographic to be used in conjunction with a report we've compiled. It's a really strong story backed up with good data. We're planning to do a bit of PR activity around it to hopefully get it in some very authoratitve publications. On top of this, to maximise the backlinks that we're able to build I've been considering posting it on some (possibly all of the infographic sites) listed on Paddy Moogans blog post about infographic distribution. Would this provide any benefit or is it likely to get me penalised in some way? Are there any tips/advice you would give to do this? i.e. link to a mixture of different pages, use non spammy anchor text? Should I limit how many infographic sites I distribute it too? Is there a maximum total I should consider or even a maximum number of infographic links I should build per week/month? Anything else I've not considered? Thanks in advance David

Guest Blogging as an Agency
Hi, I have the following problem regarding guest blogging. When sending out the pitch one can utilise the client's email so it appears coming from the business/client itself rather than an SEO agency. However the problem that I am facing is what author bio to use. Is it good to sign the posts as the internal SEO agency copywriters, as the client or I have found some suggesting to create a fake persona. If the client or client staff as the author bio is not a solution what is the best way? I hope my question is not confusing but this would really help me out. Thanks in advance Kind Regards, Conrad

Paid Blog Posts getting Deindexed?
Hello, We've used a popular paid blog posts platform to get back links through blog posts. Recently, performed a link audit noticed a very interesting problem. 40% of the 49 sites we purchased paid posts from, have been de-indexed. These blogs are the kinds that would take money from almost anybody in any given niche to write a review and give a paid link to you. So, I assume most of these blogs had a high number of outbound links. Their page rank has also been demoted to 0 (obviously since they're deindexed). Now, our dilemma is that should still go ahead with paid blog posts, after checking for the following: 1. PR 2. Google Penalty The sites at the time of purchasing the posts were not penalized. But 40% of the sites being completely de-indexed is a staggering number. Can someone please suggest whether to go with paid blog posts techniques or not?
