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.

Is building a Link Network from scratch a good idea?
My SEO agency are suggesting that they will build a Link network from scratch by buying domains and building blog sites on them. All sites that link to my site would in theory be 'clean' and as we build up their authority we increase the value of the links to my site. One of the upsides is taht we would have complete control of all the links. This does sound a bit spammy but in theory could it work?

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.

Are guest post exchanges an acceptable tactic?
Suppose you publish a guest post on a relevant and quality blog and then you have that site also write a guest post for you. Is this considered natural? What do you think of this tactic? Is there risk of a penalty for exchanging links?

Guest Blogging
I am looking to get into guest blogging for our retail brick-and-mortar store to increase more local search traffic. 1. Any local SEO recommendations/tips you have? 2. Can you post the same article in multiple places? Or is this a huge no-no? 3. For local search, should we focus on article directories or guest blogs? Thanks in advance for your feedback, and sorry that it's a three-parter! 🙂

Re april 5th post on over optimization - need clarification blogging
I mainly do content creation for clients .e.g. site and blog on word press - then link the blogs to the related static page. I have been just linking to the static page using keywords that match the title tag keywords. Is that correct?

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David
