How to promote press releases and guest posts
-
Hi, i would like to know what is the best way to promote press releases and guest posts.
We do a lot of guest articles where we write for other sites and we also do a lot of free press releases, but i would like the hard work to pay off and would like to know what are the best methods to promote these press releases and guests posts.
what I would like to do is to have our brand name come up a lot in the search engines.
any other methods to do this would also be a great help

Your first go-to resource should be your existing audience, but try going above and beyond on Social Media! Push out your content over the obvious social platforms where you've already built up a following. You can enhance this by tweeting to specific industry experts you want to grab the attention of, joining and posting in Google+ Communities related to your industry, as well posting in professional groups on LinkedIn. Good luck with your promotion efforts!

hi, thanks for that. Some of the blogs have do follow. What we are trying to do is to promote our brand by getting the articles we have written for other sites and our press releases appearing higher up in the search engine.
We spend a number of hours researching and writing the articles and do not want them to vanish, we write articles for other sites to promote our brand name.
At the moment we are already linking them from our site but we are looking at other ways to give the articles and press releases link juice and improve its position in google

Social Media is considered the best way to promote Press Release. Use Hashtag feature in both Twitter and Facebook to promote the posts to the target audience in similar field
Also, for guest articles - are these done in high quality blog sites. If its so, do you use anchor text and links and is it dofollow. If its yes, then may be you can also again use Facebook posting, Twitter and Pin it to get audience for your posts

Best Guest Blogging Plugin?
I have tried numerous times to use the MyBlogGuest plugin on my websites I manage for clients. I have NEVER had success with that plugin. Has anyone used that plugin and have it actually yield any results? I have followed all necessary steps, consistency, etc. Nothing. Is there any plugin out there better?

Guest blog on my web site.
**I received this email from a lady who wishes to write articles and post them on my site under my news section . Ok, if its quality I dont mind hiring somebody to create a post. Her proposal is as follows and this is her email :-**Basically what I can offer is to write a couple of articles for your News section, something fun and interesting for your visitors which will hopefully drag some traffic your way. I could make them well suited to your site and I could include in each a link to a client of mine - one who wants to be exposed on a good site like yours - and for doing that I can offer you compensation of £33 for each client link - 1 per article. For example, one client is Watches of Switzerland, so I could write an article about ideal wedding gifts for a groom maybe, or something about a perfect Honeymoon destination like Switzerland, and slip a link in there. Other clients include Weddingsite and Lampcommerce - which could be included in something about making a matrimonial home. There are a few stipulations I would need to abide by, like - the article would need to be 500 words, it would need the link to be a 'do follow' link, it would need a picture or two, and it would need a couple of 'sacrifice links' (just links to Wikipedia or something to make it more Google friendly). Question. Is this what a guest article is ? and also is the format ok ? Sorry if this seems a dumb question but still learning guys . King regards to everyone Peter

Locating Guest Blogging Niches
Hey Folks, Does anybody have advice on tools I could use to locate blogs on specific topics? My plan is to approach the webmasters and offer guest blogging services. I know I could just do a google search for something like "KEYWORD blogs" but I thought I'd see if there is anything more sophisticated out there. Thanks, Rich

Google authorship works on posts, but not on root domain.
When I check Google authorship via the tool Google provides, it says I am confirmed for individual posts, but not for my root domain. I’m using WordPress, and individual posts are fine, but not the blog as a whole. I am the only author… and have given it a week, thinking perhaps it needed time... but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

Short Meme/Image Posts on Blog - Will this hurt me?
Hey guys, I use Hootsuite to cross-post to twitter/facebook/google+/wordpress. It's mostly short one-sentence posts (http://minecraftserverfinder.wordpress.com/). But it's updated about 5-6 times a day and the images are relevant and interesting to my followers. Currently the wordpress page is not hosted on my main site minecraftserverfinder.com, it just links to it. I do have another blog on minecraftserverfinder.com/blog that has a couple of lengthy articles. My questions are thus: Should I keep going with these posts? Should I consolidate the blogs and host them on my main site? Thanks in advance.

Show all VS show excerpt in a blog post
I saw that you recently changed your blog from "show all" to "show an excerpt" and then "read more", could you explain me the reason? It´s not supossed to be better for the blog readers to see the full posts in the homepage?
