Online proofreading service
-
We are mostly writing our own article but need a helping hand proof reading and putting the final touch on the articles.
Any ideas to online services offering this?

HI
Thanks for the valid comments. Logo corrected already
I just wrote you a mail with a few question in regards to proofing service.
Thanks again for the help

Thanks Ryan,
It's the part of my former life that seems to follow me around, so it's a good way for me to satisfy my overwhelming urge to copy edit everything on the internet!

Wow! It's fantastic to learn you provide this service Sha. I had no idea! I will gladly reference you in the future.

Hi Fredrik,
I took a look at the site you have listed in your profile - you might want to add an "s" to "cost" in the text beneath your logo
It looks as though your main problems are spelling, typos and the odd runaway train of thought!
I'm not big on shameless plugs, but will post this one anyway since the link actually includes a "first page or post free" offer for SEOmoz Pro Members.
The site is Little MisSpeller (apologies to anyone offended by the self-promotion). You'll find a short description of appropriate skills and experience there.
As Ryan mentioned, there are a lot of services out there and it is really a matter of finding the one that will work best for you.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Thanks for the great tips.
Lets say I produce the raw content, you know any good online service that can take that and apply your point 1 -4 on it?

When you proofread an article, the question to ask is, from what perspective? If I had my wish, every article I produced would be proofread by 4 people:
1. An expert on the topic being discussed. A doctor, attorney, accountant, web developer, etc.
2. An English teacher, or expert in the language being used.
3. A marketing expert. Someone who knows how to write with flair, engage the audience, properly use color and images to attract attention and influence your readers.
4. A SEO. The SEO would ensure your article focuses the proper keyword, uses the correct meta tags, the internal and external links are maximized, etc.
If your goal is to produce world-class content, then my recommendation would be to have someone review the content with all four of the above review areas in mind. The more people who can review your document, the more feedback you will get. You can certainly add #5 - your target audience to the list. They may think of questions or ideas which were not considered by the original author.
There are many companies which offer article creation services, and may offer proof reading services as well. There are also various tools which can review articles. One I like is: http://www.paperrater.com/

Separate service page for each key-word we're ranking in
Hello guys, I have a service-based website. Right now, I have around 30 commercial pages for different services, that we offer. I came up with idea to add service page for each keyword we're ranking in. For example, we offer home-construction service and we have 1 commercial page for this service. I will create 10-20 pages for keywords, related to home-construction services.

For example: bricklaying, Fundamental works, Landscape works, Concrete works, etc. I saw similar approach on this website. It's a link on bricklaying page: https://kiev.kabanchik.ua/ua/category/kladka-kirpicha If you scroll down you will see section with keywords, related to bricklaying and each keyword has separate page with duplicate content. My questions are: Do you know the name of this SEO tactic, so I can google more information about it? Do you think that it's good idea to use similar approach in order to improve your rankings for certain keywords? Is it a dangerous SEO tactic that may cause some penalties for your website or it's completely safe?

How does offline-to-online plagiarism work?
I'm in a situation where content is getting muddled up with my client. Explanation **Website A (client) **releases a press release offline; **Website B (third party news website) **uploads this release to their blog; Website A then uploads this release to their blog. Q1: Who will Google see as the original creator of this content? Q2: If **Website A **and Website B upload the content at the same time, who will Google see as the original creator? Any advice on these questions would be highly appreciated.

Blogger Outreach - have you used this service before?
Hi, Has anyone used blogdash.com before? It says it has over 100,000 blog owners registered, which does sound good but when you look at the sites own social following its very poor and when you start to dig a little deeper you can find blog owner profiles like this: http://www.blogdash.com/blogger/ari-herzog First view, you think Ari Herzog has signed up to Blog Dash and you can pitch him content for blogs such as Huffington Post and Mashable, took about 10 seconds to realise he isn't actually part of the network as the yellow box is asking him to signup if he ever finds that page. Has anyone used this service? I can imagine 2% out of the 100,000 are actually members who have signed up.

Services Page vs Page For Each Service Offered
Read an interesting article about how websites with just a "services" page suffer and they should try to create a meaningful page for each service they offer... Read so many blogs right now that I can't remember where I saw it

On-Site Blog or Blog Service for Best SEO Results
I had a blog associated with my site, then I had to merge two Google accounts and to make a long story short, my old Blogger page won't transfer to the new account. So, I'm starting fresh. My Question: Would I benefit most from an on-site subdomain blog, adding content to my site on a weekly/monthly basis, or an off-site blog such as Blogger, linking back to pages and resources on my site? Then, any other juicy tips would be great. Honestly, I won't expect a large subscription base. There will be a natural draw for some trade associates, and I'll be linking and promoting them as well. Thanks for any input. I'm new to the community, and SEO, but really impressed with this community.

Free RSS hosting service?
I have a list of URLs of articles I have written and posted in many different article databases. But many of the URLs are not indexed by Google. How can I get them indexed? I was thinking of putting them into an RSS feed and then pinging that feed. Good idea or bad? If a good idea, can anyone recommend a free RSS hosting site? Thanks.
