Good guest blogging communities?
-
Besides My Blog Guest, does anyone know of any good guest blogging communities?
The aforementioned, based on my few weeks of use, seems like a great community for guest blogging. Curious if any similar sites exist.

Hi Annie,
Reports from my guys who deal with such things are that life is harder on myblogguest now. With all the low quality link peddlars looking around for alternative strategies, guest blogging is high on their list. This means that lots of them have moved to the likes of MBG - making publishers more wary.

Hi Mat,
I've just started using Myblogbuest as well and so far it seems really good at connecting Bloggers and Blog owners.
Its difficult getting hold of webmasters or trying to convince them you are not going to spam them - you just want to share content and knowledge within your industry. This site seems to be a quicker way of getting hold of blog owners.
And Greg I have tried to use LinkedIn but not had much luck here. Every one wants to talk on linkedin and push out their own content (me included) but not many people actually listening!

Hi Greg,
In my experiences, direct outreach is better long term strategy than guest blogging sites. Not even do you get access to better blogs, you get a network of people who'll help promote you on social media.
It does take some months to build outreach this way, but totally worth it.
LinkedIn groups seems like a very good idea too!

Mat, thanks again for the suggestion. I've used Linked groups for other purposes, so using it for guest blogging opportunities seems like a good idea.

Not pushed it to be honest. We tend to now favour direct outreach. However look for a group called "the blog zone" - they have a guest blogging sub group. Quality level there is pretty good, but I wouldn't steam in with a "content for links" angle.

Thanks for the suggestions, Mat. Have you had any success with doing this in LinkedIn groups?

Myblogguest seems to be the stand out community for this. I haven't been able to find anything directly comparable myself. However, here are a few similar services (or at ones that overlap in some way). Quality varies... in truth some of these are quite spammy, but it's still good to know what is out there:
- http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/
- http://www.blogsynergy.com/
- http://guestbloggingnetwork.com/
- http://www.webtrafficcontrol.com/
- http://www.linknami.com/guest-post/
Also linked in has a couple of good groups for bloggers that can serve a similar function.

Sitewide links from blogs we sponsor - A Bad Thing?
We sponsor a few blogs in our niche. As part of the sponsorship, they include an advert on the RHS or LHS of the blog page. Links are dofollow and are sitewide. Should I be concerned? Should I be asking for a nofollow instead, if possible? I've recently disavowed links and am waiting to see what happens with this - hopefully there's a Penguin update soon - but I wondered if the blog links were part of the problem.

14,000 blog comment spam links placed on one domain!!
Trying to clear up a manual link penalty a client has received and I have found the client's site has been blog commenting 14,000 times on just one domain!! I need to do a reconsideration request and show Google that I have cleaned up the mess (the client has 50k backlinks, of which I am not happy with about 75% so far!!) but I cannot expect the website in question to go through 14k pages. What would people advise here. Would you state the sheer number of links on this site in the reconsideration request and use the disavow tool? Doesn't this suggest that I have been lazy and not put the effort into to clearing things up up

Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites
I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

Link DIrectories - Is it a Good Idea with recent Panda Updates
Yo! I have been doing a tonn of research on a few of my top competitors and have noticed that a decent percentage of their links are from link directories. Most of these directories seem organized and the links on the pages are relevant to the selected category. These pages offer both free link submission and a paid feature link submission. My question is that is it a good idea to submit my site to these directories with the recent Panda update(s). I have read a bit about it, but still do not fully grasp the overall picture of it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
