Hi folks
I have an eBook that is rather high quality.... would really appreciate any tips on how best to utilise it to get the maximum SEO results for a small and rather new site ....
Again I'm only a few weeks old in the SEO world so the more detail you have time to feed me the more grateful I will be

This is actually a good question and there is lots you can do, obviously the higher quality your ebook, the bigger the opportunity.
A few ideas:
- Give it away for free, but make people share it (tweet it or share on FB) in order to gain access. This will provide you with social mentions and increased exposure which can also lead to links etc. Although to do this well you will need a good plan to seed it and get people talking and sharing intially (hopefully some strong 'gatekeepers').
This was done successfully at clockworkpirate.com which now uses the service cloudflood.com - Offer it to worthwhile sites in your niche or closely related. Provide them with an embed code containing the ebook for download which also contains a link back to your site. Again, this will get you links and exposure as well as an opportunity to make relationships with good people within your industry.
- Alternatively you could just host it on your site, and go out and tell all in your industry about it. Maybe email it to a few of the top sites telling them their users can download it from your site. If the ebook is good enough and you ask correctly, they will spread the word, link to it, share it etc.
If you already have connections in your industry you can probably just go off and start doing a lot of this stuff. If you don't, it maybe worthwhile holding off a little with the real 'high quality ebook' and go out and build some industry relationships. Get in forums, leave comments on blogs, get on twitter or FB groups and engage and interact, help people out etc.. then go and do the above as you will have the right connections to help you make this a success.
- Give it away for free, but make people share it (tweet it or share on FB) in order to gain access. This will provide you with social mentions and increased exposure which can also lead to links etc. Although to do this well you will need a good plan to seed it and get people talking and sharing intially (hopefully some strong 'gatekeepers').

When you say... "rather high quality"... do you mean... better than all other content on this subject that exists on the web?
If I had that I would build it into a website and promote it. Will probably get lots of links and make you famous.

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.
