Welcome to the Q&A Forum

May i post the same content to different blogs? NO
and article directories NO
Is this cleaver/correct idea? NO

Don't go near article directories. Here's why.

Fair enough. The follow/no-follow issue was really trying to address this comment from William Lau.

I should have made that clear.

Usually links from Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter are nofollow so it doesn't really boost your PA/DA(correct me if I'm wrong).

Re: Naina's comment "...if it becomes notable in any case, you will automatically find a page for it on Wikipedia" -- if you run a small/medium-sized enterprise, I don't think you should be waiting for someone else to magically do your marketing/PR for you.

Thanks for your response, Peter. But I'm still as confused.

Surely, if SEOMoz cherry picks a shortlist  -- having applied criteria for inclusion, otherwise you'd have www.spamlinkdirectory.net and all sorts -- then puts them on a page headed "SEO Web Directory List" it must been seen as an SEOMoz endorsement (implicit or otherwise) of their SEO benefits. I could probably find 75-100 on that list (Web+social+local) that could be construed as relevant to my site. Would listing in them be a "terrible idea", given that I'm also using other link-building techniques?

I'm no SEO guru, but when I started out I found keyword difficulty tools quite useful.

I think if you're a newish/low-authority site, it's pointless and a waste of resources trying immediately to compete for, say "real estate" because bigger, better sites are way ahead of you.

I got around the problem by targeting long-tail keywords "eg, real estate in Chatanooga". Less competition, easier to rank for and, because it's a more focused keyword than merely "real estate", greater clickthrough and ROI.

Oddly enough this is the third time this question has popped up in the past week or so (!)

I refer you to my previous answer:

Question:

At the moment the alt tag on my logo (which appears on all my 4,000+ pages) simply reads "home". Would it be spammy to change it on all 4,000 pages to, eg, "home of cheap red widgets", assuming cheap red widgets was my target keyword?

I would avoid any kind of automation, "semi-" or no.

You have to submit to "good" directories but they make this easier
I don't believe that what few "good" directories remain out there are compatible with mass-submission software.

That PointBlankSeo article still recommends press releases & article marketing.

However, Matt Cutts on press releases & article marketing as quoted by SearchEngineLand:

Matt clarified that the links in the press releases themselves don’t count for PageRank value, but if a journalist reads the release and then writes about the site, any links in that news article will then count.

How Valuable is Article Marketing?

Not very.  Both Duane and Matt said that articles syndicated hundreds of times across the web just don’t provide valuable links and in any case, they aren’t editorially given. Duane made things simple: “don’t do the article marketing stuff.”

He suggested contacting an authority site in your space to see if they would publish a guest article that you write particularly for them. If the authority site finds your content valuable enough to publish, that’s a completely different situation from article hubs that allow anyone to publish anything.

None. You'd do well to read this recent Q&A post.

He also points out the "issue" of too many links per page is not an issue:
