How to use MyBlogGuest.com
-
Hello,
We have a person who has a degree in the content area of our niche, and it's a wide niche area.
How do we contact people on MyBlogGuest.com and ask them what they would like our person to write about?
Do I private message them or get their contact off their website? What do I say to not be ignored?
Thanks.

If you are able to find out the companies that picked articles, that would be ideal.
We don't track articles that are being posted through the forum (people just send articles manually there), but we do track articles that get posted through the Articles Gallery.
To find the list of most active publishers (those who published most articles), go Search -> Site Search -> and sort by "Articles Posted"

Great Ann, Thank You!

Like I said, you may want to use our built-in messaging options because we have enhanced it with free features like follow-up and non-response reminders.

Hey Bob, please feel free to PM me for details. I'll just lay out the basics:
How do we contact people on MyBlogGuest.com and ask them what they would like our person to write about?
You can use the free forum to post your request. There's a "Looking for blog" forum where you can start a new thread listing your topics. There is also "Looking for guest" forum where you can go from thread to thread applying to those opps that seem relevant to you.
Do I private message them or get their contact off their website? What do I say to not be ignored?
I'd suggest our system (PMs) because you can set up a follow-up reminder there. This way you'll be able to keep an eye on those who never got back.
Please watch all videos our users made for others to use the system. They are all user-generated and thus reflect the real user experience.

If you are able to find out the companies that picked articles, that would be ideal. But to be honest, MGB is a bit hard to manage and filter.

This is a good question you should contact Ann Smarty from my guest blog, she also happens to be an SEOmoz user...

Ok. I guess my question is whether it would be quicker and get better results if we found companies on myblogguest.com that had previously selected articles and that had good metrics and contacted them directly and see what they needed before we write the article.
Or is it your experience that articles are selected fast if they are good?
Thanks.

You can generally pre-write an article and post an excerpt to the site. Individuals will come by and go to your niche/category and if they think it is a good article/excerpt they will contact you for the information. Its quite simple when you do it once or twice.

Using web dev agencies to generate backlinks
Going to start by saying I'm totally new here, so apologies in advance is this is a dumb question! I run a site that is focused on home buyer education. The site is brand new, so no almost no link profile, and I'm trying to grow my backlinks. On twitter I've had success with real estate agents sharing my articles to their followers, which is great. It helps them educate their customers and feeds the social media beast. I realized that realtors, mortgage brokers, and insurance agents (all relevant to my niche) don't usually run their own websites. Many of these sales people leverage agencies, and often the agencies offer blog posting as part of their service offerings. I'm tempted to do some outreach to these agencies and offer to write guest posts. I figure they get free, quality content and I beef up my link profile. Is this a bad idea? Are there any risks with this approach?

What Domain should I use? - Domain authority question
Hi all, I created a website www.bruadair.com approximately 2 months ago, the website is for a luxury villa. Prior to creating this site the villa website was www.bruadair.co.uk , this website had been live for around 4 years. Now after developing the site and creating optimised content etc, I started my link building strategy to try and increase both the page and domain authority of the site. I used MOZ's open site explorer tool to examine my site and compared it with the old domain (www.bruadair.co.uk), this is was where my question arose. The old site has a domain authority of 16/100 and the home page has a page authority of 26/100. The old domain also had 468 inbound links ( the quality of these are most likely questionable, nofollows etc ). The new site in comparison has 1/100 domain authority and 1/100 page authority with no apparent inbound links. Before I noticed this I had generated a few inbound links to the new site, but Moz had not indexed websites since I had done this therefore it probably wouldn't have shown it in the open site explorer. Basically I have cloned the new site to the old web address and am thinking of using the .co.uk version just due to its existing domain and page authority. Would it be beneficial to swap over to the old site to benefit from the domain authority?? Thanks for any help given! 🙂

Links from **searchengines.com
Looking at the list of linking domains in Webmaster Tools I have come across 36 from domains similar to **searchengines.com or .net, where ** is a number. They are all duplicates and get their data from DMOZ. I'm cleaning up the link profile and my question is should I be concerned to get these cleaned up especially as I have some more serious links to clean out and possibly need to use disavow? Actually if I need them removed and the sites state I have to go through DMOZ to do so is that good enough for Google to understand that I can't really manually remove these links and I can proceed to disavow them?

Which directories to use?
I've recently has a conversation with a colleague regarding which directories to use when link building. In her opinion we should use only the ones that are relevant and nothing else. For example if you're working on a travel website, you should only submit either to travel directories or local directories (based on the business location). In my opinion yes we should submit to these directories but then you'll reach a limit and then you need to submit to general directories that have the "travel" category, even if the business is in NY and the directory is in India, as long as it is a good directory and has the relevant category. What is your opinion about this?

Why are reciprocal links still being used widely?
Looking at my competitors backlink profiles they all seem to have lots or reciprocal links and banner exchanges etc... I thought that only one way links really had any value. The reciprocal links they do have appear to be pretty spammy but the sites are still ranking well? Should I be adopting reciprocal links and banner exchanges. I know these strategies worked years ago but surely not in 2012?

Example of a local "boring-niche" site in a relatively high competition area using strictly white hat tactics
I'm looking for an example of a site in a very boring service niche locally "let's say elevator doors in chicago" or something like that, that successfully using blogging, content generation, etc to achieve top rankings above its spammy competitors. Anyone care to give out a case study? I'm not talking about companies that submit to 100's of local directories like yelp, or google maps rankings. I'm talking about organic or blended serps.

Do subdomains (eg .blogspot.com) carry the same link juice as a .com or .co.uk?
Hi guys. Just wondered what people's thoughts were on the value of a link from a subdomain vs a .com or .co.uk - I have several clients operating within the UK crafts sector, and there are a huge number of blogspot blogs with decent PR etc. Given that anyone can start one of these for free (and therefore theoretically get themselves hundreds of bogus links), I wonder whether they carry the same value as an independent site. I'll look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts 🙂
