Guest Blogging
-
Hey Guys,
I've been reading about the power of guest blogging and it seems like a fun way to build links. However, finding blogs that allow guest blog posts is a bit tougher than I thought. I read about MyBlogGuest.com and some other guest blog networks. Are these legit and am I on the right track when searching for blogs that will allow a guest post?
Thanks!

What I like to do with MBG is list all the blogs available on MBG, then sort by number of posts, this way I know I got a good chance of getting a post on there if I contact them.
Then systematically copy the url into Google and use the MozBar to look at the domains data.
So for example I found one yestarday which had the following stats:
Domain Auth: 50, Page Auth: 69, Moz Rank: 5.2, MozTrust: 5.6 with 315 linking root domains.
I friended the blog owner, and I got an article scheduled for today with 2 links one in the body and one in the byline.

MBG usability drives me nuts, but it does work. You need to invest time into learning how it works & to get the most out of it. Also you need to make sure not to give crap, weak sites your content

trying to be humorous here... read with a smile on your face
People who own popular blogs get a lot of requests from "marketers" who are trying to place a link, a shout out, a mention or any other form of detritus that connects to their website on that popular blog. Usually these people are simply trying to mooch on the bloggers popularity and effort.
Occasionally the marketer will offer a blog post or some other type of content that is usually among the worst chest-thumping grammatically-incorrect crap that the blogger has ever seen, mentioning the product or the website at least once in every sentence surrounded by superlatives that are typically misspelled... and if the blogger does a search he finds this detritus has already been published on at least a hundred other low-quality websites.
Very rarely the blogger receives a genuine gift of content that will not stink up his blog and that he is actually willing to publish. These rarely come from marketers and usually come from people who simply have a message that they want to spread.
So, if you have genuine, unique, substantive and informative content that the blogger enjoys and is motivated to share with his visitors you have a chance of seeing it published on a high quality website. If that happens the blogger or webmaster will certainly be open to future messages from you and be receptive to additional gifts of genuine, unique, substantive and informative content.
.... oh... one more thing... be really careful if you are going to hire a PR company to help you with this... The blogger knows that most of them are nothing more than spammers and their messages generally have a higher density of crap than is allowed by law. There are a few exceptions to this rule.

Blog.website.com or website.com/blog
Hello, I have a question, in some moz guidelines you can read website.com/blog is better/more recommended than blog.website.com. But when you look at the domain authority you see no difference. blog.website.com gets exact the same domain authority as website.com. So can somebody explain why website.com/blog is really better than blog.website.com? Or is there no difference? Thank you verry much

Guest Blogging
If I am looking to guest blog for back links, do I need to reciprocate and provide guest blogging opportunities for them on my site? OR is it better to ask other site's to link to articles on my client's page with the understanding I will link to their page (if they are not competition)? I am trying to do some link building for a bankruptcy lawyer and I am considering possibly searching out guest blogging in different cities/states. Bankruptcy is primarily a federal matter, so reaching out to neighboring states. Not sure the client will be interested in this or not, but it's something I am considering. A lot of law firms have contact information Thanks everyone!

Evergreen content: Dedicated section or blog posts?
As part of our content strategy we are creating an ongoing series of articles to help both our potential buyers and our users learn about our product and improve their knowledge of industry best practices in general. Internally, we've had some debate as to where we should host this content within our site. We've identified two approaches: Series of blog posts Dedicated knowledge section of the website If we go with the first approach, we would created a dedicated section that indexed all the blog posts. If we went with the second, we'd create blog posts for each of the articles announcing their addition. Is there any difference, SEO wise with the two approaches? What would you recommend? Thanks, Darren.

Wordpress blog, transferring .com to .org
For many years now we've had a wordpress.com blog, and accumulated a lot of links from it as a result. We now have a wordpress.org blog and are keen to move all the old posts on to the new .org site. How can this be done without losing the links from the old .com blog? Thanks in advance.

Should I publish several blog posts at once or stagger?
I have several blog posts that I want to publish (40 or so). For freshness is it better to stagger their publication over several months or is it fine to publish them all at the same time. The comments are closed.
