      Hey Everyone,

      Long-time SEO'er first time poster here. I've been doing SEO for around 5 years but since starting my company The Search Ninjas last year I've been so bogged down with client work that I feel like I'm starting to fall behind on what's still effective from a link building perspective since all of my clients are local businesses and since we've been focusing so much attention on Google Places.

      My question is- are there any general article sites that you still use for SEO since the Panda update last year (that you firmly believe still offer "juice"), or do you mainly focus on niche sites and guest-blogging?

      I'm looking for ideas regarding how to find content submission opportunities for clients for link building purposes. I'm familiar with Ontolo and the Whitespark Link Prospecting Tool in terms of ways to find opportunities (and of course cherrypicking competitors' links using OSE and SEOSpyglass), any other recommendations?

      Best,

      George

      ps clients are in legal niche for the most part if that helps you out, but this is mainly me looking for everyone's general opinion.

        At this point we have discontinued all content marketing programs, at least the kind you are talking about.  We still create squidoo lenses, do social bookmarking, etc. but even those practices are becoming more obsolete. The best link building blogs in my opinion belong to Ross Hudgens and Jon Cooper (PointBlankSEO).

        Read their posts, use what you can, and I wish you the best of luck!

        • If someone were to link to our site on now on an old article (dating back 1-2 years) is that still beneficial if all other variables are good?
