Synicating a Blog Post

Article syndication.

Because that way you're offering people something they need and want (high-quality content, free of charge, to share with their readers/visitors/subscribers) as "payment" for the backlink. But the backlink, again is a mere afterthought. Even if the backlink were screened from Google and didn't count at all, you'd still have ninety-something percent of the value of doing it (I suspect ninety-nine percent of the value, usually).

The less time, effort, thought and energy you put into "getting backlinks", Kyle, the more likely your business is to become successful, because that's very poor-quality, "afterthought traffic" that typically doesn't translate into income, and it's all time, though, effort and energy you could be putting into something far more productive.

I do (some) blog commenting and (plenty of) guest posting, as well.

Guest posting is really article syndication under another name (and it can be even better, if you can get a nice introduction and answer questions later), and blog commenting I do because it's interactive and attracts direct, targeted, non-SEO traffic (and helps to build relationships which lead to future guest posting, which is simply article syndication under another name!). I don't do any of it "for SEO", and I strongly suggest that you probably shouldn't, either. Personally, I tend to advise people not to put much time, effort and energy into trying to attract "organic SERP's" traffic, for two main reasons: first, it's very precarious and makes your business Google-dependent, and any business that's Google-dependent is no more than one algorithm-change away from a potential accident (or even a potential disaster), as so many Warriors have been finding out over the last year or two, some of them to their very great cost; secondly, for me, search engine traffic has been uniformly the worst-converting traffic out of everything I've ever tried in 8 entirely different niches over the whole of the last 4 years - search engine visitors to all my websites typically stay the least time, view the fewest pages, opt in the least often and actually buy anything by far the least often. I admit I do get tons of search engine traffic to all my main sites (just because of all the high rankings I've got, incidentally, from article syndication to relevant sites) but I'd certainly hate to have to make a living from that traffic! Google rankings, in short, are not really much of a "traffic-generating plan" at all: that traffic's very poor quality and often temporary, too. Just reading this forum regularly will convince anyone of that.
