      Hi,
      It would be great if some SEO experts could answer this for us. Suppose a website is brand new. How often should you publish new blog posts on the website?
      Publishing, say, every single day or fairly frequently, without the offsite seo being built up first i.e. no backlinks; can this damage the organic SEO?
      By publishing too much new written work, and could posting so frequently like everyday look like spam? That’s if though the written work is white hat.
      Is there a golden rule to publish say once a month until the website’s offsite backlinks have increased?
      Please help, as some clients are pushing for content marketing to be added and written daily, yet this seems too much despite them wanting to pay, it seems like it could cause an over optimisation issue? Could it also damage the long-term SEO efforts?

        @Ryan07 In establishing SEO, posting frequency is not the only key factor; quality and relevance are equally important. While frequent blog posting may be beneficial, if the content is of low quality or irrelevant to the website theme, it may actually have a negative impact on SEO.

          @Ryan07 You can't say exactly how often you should publish. Write with the goal of helping your readers. If it takes a month, that's okay. Writing weekly just to please Google is not the right approach.

            We would say, add a piece of really good white hat content marketing, but say only add one blog post every month.

              Posting frequently without sufficient off-site SEO can be considered over-optimization by search engines. It's important to take a balanced approach to avoid triggering spammy signals.

              Hi, you wrote the above answer, which we think is a really good answer, would you say we are posting our SEO blog posts too often on our SEO agency website?

                    @meltingpointgoat this was a really good answer, we had over-optimization issues before with Ryan C Walsh we decided to start Walsh & Partners. we recently started publishing two long blog posts a week, organic rankings have gone down, perhaps just one every week or so be better? The quality of the written work is very high, so we don't understand, perhaps, it be great if you could possibly take look at our blog and if you could give us some feedback we would be so grateful for your expert help. thank you

                      When developing a new website as I developed Mili Movers for Dubai-based businesses., prioritized quality over quantity. First, try to publish one insightful and thoroughly researched blog post every week. Regular publishing without strong offsite optimization may be interpreted as spam.

                        For a brand new website, focus on quality over quantity. Initially, aim for one well-researched and valuable blog post per week. Publishing daily without solid offsite SEO could potentially be seen as spammy. Gradually increase frequency as your backlink profile strengthens. Balancing content creation with offsite SEO efforts is crucial to avoid over-optimization and potential long-term SEO damage Check For Reference : https://theshoeinfo.com/

                          Google's primary concern is the quality and relevance of the content rather than the specific frequency of posting. It's crucial to prioritize creating valuable and informative content for your audience rather than focusing solely on quantity.

                          That being said, consistency is key. Establishing a regular posting schedule helps to signal to both users and search engines that your website is active and regularly updated. Whether you choose to publish weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, the key is to maintain a schedule that is sustainable for your team while consistently delivering high-quality content.

                            Finding the right balance is crucial for a new website. While frequent content creation is beneficial, it's essential to prioritize quality over quantity, as mentioned, especially in the initial stages. Posting daily without established offsite SEO might not yield the desired results and could potentially be perceived as spammy. Instead, consider a more gradual approach. Start with one or two high-quality posts per week, ensuring they align with your target keywords.

                            As offsite backlinks increase, you can gradually increase your publishing frequency. This approach avoids potential over-optimization and long-term SEO issues. Communicate this strategy to your clients, emphasizing the importance of a steady, strategic content rollout. Building a strong foundation with quality content and a natural backlink profile will contribute to sustainable organic growth. Patience and a thoughtful content strategy will pay off in the long run.

                              For new websites, it's important to balance the frequency of blog posts with the need for off-site SEO. Here are some things to consider:

                              Quality over quantity:
                              Prioritize quality content over daily frequency. Publishing valuable, well-researched content is more beneficial for his SEO than frequently posting low-quality posts.

                              Offsite SEO Meaning:
                              Backlinks play an important role in his SEO. Before increasing your publishing frequency, take the time to build off-site SEO through a legitimate backlink strategy. High-quality backlinks positively impact a website's authority.

                              Avoid over-optimization:
                              Posting frequently without sufficient off-site SEO can be considered over-optimization by search engines. It's important to take a balanced approach to avoid triggering spammy signals.

                              Customer Expectations:
                              Educate your customers on the importance of a step-by-step content strategy. Even if you want to make a daily donation, explain the potential risks and benefits. We recommend setting realistic expectations to avoid potential problems later.

                              Initial publishing frequency:
                              Consider starting with a more moderate frequency. B. Gradually increase this weekly or biweekly as your offsite SEO efforts mature. This allows search engines to index and recognize your content without straining it.

                              Monitor Analytics:
                              Monitor website analytics. Track the performance of your content in terms of user engagement, organic traffic, and bounce rate. Adjust your content strategy based on observed results.

                              Diversify content types:
                              In addition to blog posts, also diversify content types. Incorporate videos, infographics, and other media. This not only improves the user experience but also accommodates different audience preferences.

                              Note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and the optimal publishing frequency may vary depending on your industry, niche, and target audience. We recommend finding a balance that meets both client expectations and SEO best practices.

                                Dear sir,
                                I have experience in SEO and you have to publish at least 10 or 5 articles on days first and then you can publish 1 article after 2 or 3 days but you must have to publish. Google likes adding valuable stuff on a routine basis.
                                Don't start making backlinks until you finish your complete onpage, techniqal seo, local seo.
                                Do you need help?

                                    We have detected that the domain bhaktimarga.org redirects to prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net. We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net for this campaign instead?"

Is this done for performance and masks the hosting provider domain? I haven't talked to website developers about this yet, but my main question is...Does this have any SEO ramification? Thanks so much,
                                    Padma

I'm looking to enhance my lead-generation efforts through my blog content. I would appreciate insights and strategies on the following: SEO Best Practices: How can I optimize my blog posts for better search engine visibility to attract more potential leads? Content Engagement: What types of content (e.g., infographics, videos, in-depth guides) have been most effective for engaging readers and encouraging them to provide their contact information? CTA Placement: Where is the most effective placement for calls-to-action within a blog post to maximize lead capture without detracting from user experience? Lead Capture Forms: Are there any recommended practices for designing lead capture forms that encourage sign-ups? Any specific examples or case studies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

                                    Are LinkedIn Newsletters bad for SEO?

                                    seo tactic social media

                                    Hey crew,
                                    Curious if anyone has an answer for this one. Someone in our company is encouraging us to start posting our blog content as newsletters on LinkedIn and thinks it will help us grow.
                                    From what I've learned about SEO - this seems like a bad idea that would split traffic for that content between our website and LinkedIn. I also feel like it would create duplicate content - right? Does anyone have any insight on this?
                                    I see that Moz doesn't do LI newsletters and usually posts links on social media that point back to blogs on their website. That's what I've tried to do with our social media as well. Am I thinking about this correctly? Would this be bad for SEO?

                                    Is it worth buying an entry on Wikipedia-type sites?

                                    link building content marketing wikipedia

                                    Recently I've come across a few websites offering (for a fee) to research, write and publish an entry on the likes of Wikipedia, Citizendium or Wikitia - I thought this might be helpful when it comes to marketing and link building for a brand or individual. Purchasing guest blog posts is a standard way to obtain a high domain authority in-context backlink, but I wondered if purchasing an entry on one of these human edited encyclopedias would be as effective, better or not worth the money? It costs quite a bit more than guest posting and blog outreach, but on the other hand they are authoritative websites that also include backlinks. Any thoughts would be most welcome.

                                    SEO title tag, url

                                    title tags url

                                    Hi I am launching a website that will sell initially 1 product with different colours, sayings and slogans. Is it okay to use the same keyword for the title tag and url. eg Love dog bow tie, sassy dog bow tie, I am the boss dog bow tie.
                                    Thanks for any help.

                                    Should I split long form content?

                                    seo tactics content development optimization

                                    I have quite a long content on my site. By length I mean around 8000-9000 words. I optimized it to cover almost all searches related to a topic. But this length makes me uneasy for some reason. I do not think that users will find what they are looking for in such a long content. However, I don't want to neglect the SEO aspect of the content. I can talk about something like this without sharing the keywords completely: Title + for girls Title + for boys Title + for kids Title + for girlfriend Title + for boyfriend Title + for students As I said, in the current situation, these are all sub-headings (H2) of 8000-9000-word content. When I make a separate content for each of them, I can bring them all closer to 1500-2000 words. However, I am undecided whether this is the right step in terms of SEO and content optimization. What are your views?

                                    Blog post outreach for backlinks

                                    blog post outreach blog post backlinks guest blog posting in context link building content marketing

                                    Hi all, My understanding of obtaining backlinks by way of blogpost outreach is that it's best to include several outbound links to related high domain websites within blog post copy (as well as a link to the website you're marketing, obviously) such as this post https://www.scoopearth.com/why-should-you-use-royalty-free-music-for-youtube-videos/ or this one https://small-bizsense.com/how-to-create-quality-content-for-your-business/. However, I've recently read a few articles that suggest that from a human perspective only having one clear link in the copy, such as this post https://www.clichemag.com/entertainment/movies/the-benefits-of-royalty-free-cinematic-music-for-your-videos/, increases the chance of the reader visiting the site in question. I guess the thinking is that if there's only one link to be clicked on it increases the chances of click-thru, as opposed to the reader possibly clicking on another external link that's only there because of current SEO advice. So is it best to follow SEO guidelines and include several outbound links within guest blog posts, or is it better to only have the one link to your client's site (to focus the readers attention on it)?

                                    Shopify SEO - Collection or Blog post for ecomm seo?

                                    shopify ecommerce seo tactics

                                    Hi Moz folks, would love your thoughts on benefits of Shopify collection pages v blog posts for ranking secondary shopping keywords not suitable for existing shop pages - all help gratefully received, we are going down a rabbit hole on this one and need some sanity! So, we’re updating our site which already has a reasonable seo foundation and are looking to rank better for key shopping search keywords in our space (d2c sports nutrition). My question is should we prioritise store collection pages (category pages in Shopify terms) or blog posts for some of the main keywords not already covered by our core in-store collections/categories? Priority keywords already covered are things like protein powders, protein bars, energy drinks, etc. As context, we have a small product catalogue (10 products) and for easy navigation on site have these grouped into 7 collections/categories in the main menu and available from the homepage. All are quality high volume and high intent shopping keywords for our business. The secondary terms we are now looking to add content for are things like marathon nutrition, vegan sports nutrition, etc so now ​need to choose if we create product collection pages for these, or use blog posts to do the work. The advantage of collections, we believe, is that Google is likely to prioritise these in search. The disadvantage from a UX point of view is that more categories in store could make our simple and clear product range (10 products only) look complex or repetitive. Conversely, a blog post removes any UX confusion with too many categories, but we have a conversion rate issue with our blog. It performs well in search, but conversions are poor. We have addressed this with a new keyword targeting strategy and blog customisation, but we have yet to test this so while in theory it should work well, we do not know for certain. In summary: we want to rank key shopping keywords beyond our core ones we have - would you advise we use blog posts or product collection pages? All help gratefully received - thanks! Warren
