Content Writing Service Recommendations
-
I am looking to hire a content writer for our sites. Anyone familiar with a service where the manage the content on your site?
Basically, come up with topics & content ideas, then writing the content.
Please give me an idea of the pricing if possible.
Greatly appreciate any help.

There are multiple options you have and no option in my opinion is bad!
Option 1:
Here the idea is to research some companies, interview them and ask very specific questions about how they can help you achieve your desired goal. If anyone sounds a good fit for you, just check their testimonials and decide if you want to go for it or not!
Option 2:
If you want a content producer to produce content for your blog then my advice would be to search for popular bloggers within your niche. You follower wonk to see who they are and then contact them to se if they can work for you!
Hope this helps!

You have a few options here. You could take a look at the popular bloggers in your industry and contact them directly. They already write content and are familiar with your industry, so they may be willing to work with your site directly to create content and manage it as a "ghost writer" or "ghost editor". You can usually end up having a good mutual long term relationship with someone specific that you may even to meet with in person every once in a while.
An alternative would be a company, but you may end up with writers and editors that are not located in your country or you might have to deal with a higher turnover rate with employees.
There are firms such as our firm that manage content and have an internal staff that can handle your needs; it's important to make sure that the writers are familiar with SEO best practices and can also help promote your content properly, as well.

Hi there,
I do have a great recommendation for a company that handles content ideation, creation and management called Passion Fruit Creative Group. I'm unsure of the prices, since they really vary depending on the type of content and other needs, but I've personally worked with both of the co-founders in the past and they're excellent.
Here's a link to their website and contact form so you can check them out and get in touch:

When to re-write and redirect a blog url?
What are best practices for rewriting (and then redirecting) blog URLs? I refresh old blog posts on our blog every month and many of them have URLs that are too long or could be improved. However, many of them also already get decent organic traffic and I don't want to lose traffic due to a URL redirect. Are there any best practices or "rules" I can follow when deciding whether to re-write and redirect blog URLs?

Reusing content on different ccTLDs
We have a client with many international locations, each of which has their own ccTLD domain and website. Eg company-name.com, company-name.com.au, company-name.co.uk, company-name.fr, etc. Each domain/website only targets their own country, and the SEO aim is for each site to only rank well within their own country. We work for an individual country's operations, and the international head office wants to re-use our content on other countries' websites. While there would likely be some optimsation of the content for each region, there may be cases where it is re-used identically. We are concerned that this will cause duplicate content issues. I've read that the separate ccTLDs should indicate to search engines that content is aimed at the different locations - is this sufficient or should we be doing anything extra to avoid duplicate content penalties? Or should we argue that they simply must not do this at all and develop unique content for each? Thanks Julian

What Are The Pros and Cons of Writing About the Same Topic Several Times?
I am working on a website that has been publishing content for years. Some of the content is 6 or 7 years old! Daily, I am re-writing, updating, or deleting old content, and adding new content. We have covered every topic under the sun (within our niche market), and sometimes new content is similar to old content in some way. Or, we are answering the same question a dozen different ways. I have always assumed this was correct for SEO, but I was challenged on this notion today and now I am questioning the practice of writing content that could be the same (or similar) as the old content we have written. What are the pros and content of creating "duplicate" content, provided it is never an exact carbon copy of our older content.

Duplicate Content
I have a service based client that is interested in optimizing his website for all the services that he provides in all the locations that he provides them in. For example: Service 1, location 1 Service 1, location 2 Service 2, location 1 Service 2, location 2 He wants to essentially create an individual page for each of the above, but i'm concerned that he will be penalized for duplicate content. Each of the pages would have the keyword in the url, page title and within the main body of content. We would certainly alter the content somewhat, but not sure how much a difference this would make. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Duplicate Content behind a Paywall
We have a website that is publicly visible. This website has content. We'd like to take that same content, put it on another website, behind a paywall. Since Google will not be able to crawl those pages behind the paywall is there any risk to ua doing this? Thanks! Mike

Sourcing content and images for Office Interior Design Blog
Im currently building a blog on Wordpress, and I will be blogging about Office Interior Designs. When I look at my competition they have some great blog posts about office interior designs and I have no idea about how they get: a) The ideas to blog about, how do they find out about these office interior designs b) how they get the content for them, how do they know what to write about each one, do they need permission etc, c) if i am interested in doing a blog on the same office interior design as them, how can I get information )and permission from the company that done the office interior design) on the office interior design so i can blog about it and also how do i get the images and stuff. an example is http://www.officedesignblog.com/invensys-rail-office-concept/726/ I would like to cover this aswell, as i think my future readers would like to know about this. how did they get the images, and the information about the project so they could write a blog post about it? And how would I go about doing the same thing?
