Reposting Blog posts on 3rd party sites
-
We have a few informational blog posts that are valuable to some readers. We have posted them in our blog but were contemplating posting them on 3rd party blogging websites such as Blogger, Squidoo, etc.. Ideally we would continue to maintain these accounts with multiple blog posts, but would all be reposts of the original blog.
These are not half english blog posts just hoping to gain a better Google rank. They will provide value to the readers who might not be finding their way to our website directly.
Is posting these blog posts on the 3rd party websites, linking back to the original article and maybe some products that are related to the specific document going to negatively affect our rankings due to the duplication of the content?
-
Awesome, makes way more sense now - Thanks a ton for all your help!!!
-
You won't be able to use authorship on the 3rd party sites typically, but even if you could, it wouldn't be necessary because the article would have already been attributed to your original blog post. So, no
-
The excerpt makes sense - should excerpts have authorship assigned to it?
-
As long as you have your authorship set up properly on your primary blog, and you are linking to it, it likely won't hurt your primary blog/ site - unless you get carried away and post it on dozens or hundreds of 3rd party sites. Make sure it gets indexed on your original site first, before publishing elsewhere.
I understand you may be wanting to keep the blog post in its entirety on the 3rd party sites in order to provide value, but I would recommend that you use really solid summaries/ excerpts and then "click here to read more" type link that takes them to the full article on your main blog. They will still get the full value, and you will get the extra targeted traffic to your main blog.

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

Site Published Our Guest Post but Removed the Link Back
I recently developed a nice article for a career site and they agreed to publish it as a guest post. Once they published the article I noticed they had removed the link back to my site in the byline. What is a best way to approach this situation? Would you ask them to take down the article if they are unwilling to link back to your site?

Too many links in my blog post created by comments. Should I worry?
Every year, we do a popular "Favourite pictures of the year" contest where people vote on the best picture (i.e: their mate's) in order to win something. But I just found that I'm going way over the "Too many links" limit and I think it's because of all the comments. 1. Is it a problem 2. Is there a way to de-activate the links? Thank you! 🙂 Ioan

Inbound links from porn sites into a professional business services site - remove help?
The website in question was hacked four years ago and there was porn on the servers. It was used as a peer to peer torrent streamer. The images were deleted. We have just found inappropriate inward bound links (with great link juice!!) - how can we remove these links - or should we? any advice would be appreciated thanks
