Is using a tool such as My Blog Guest worth it?
-
I saw the post
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services
and saw that MyBlogGuest seems like a good link building service, so I signed up. It really is confusing though, it almost makes me think I have to install WP Blogs on my sites which primarily run in Joomla, so linking directly to the blog is not an option.
Okay, fine, so I'll just skip the part about putting in offers on other people's posts. I really signed up for the link building part of it anyways.
So, now, I just write content in the site-used article generator? Then, go in and offer it manually to people? Doesn't really strike me as some super powerful method of linkbuilding, but there's a good chance I'm missing something.
If this is the case, I'd assume I'd have to write content that is relevant to the site that I am trying to build links for, and then place links back to that site, so basically I want my posts on competitors sites and that will help out with backlinks and authority?
It's really confusing. I just want to have my content writer write good content and get links from it, and this method just confuses me. I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has used that service or can recommend something easier or better.

Thank you Ann. Didn't expect to get a response from you personally, but what a nice touch. Your detailed response really cleared some things up for me.
I am hiring a content writer for my blog posts, and I will make sure he goes off of the checklist. I am hoping that this works out well, and now I feel I have a more clear understanding of your site's functionality. Thank you for your quick response

Hey Ryan, let's try to figure everything out!
1. We are welcome blogs on any platforms. However we only support DIRECT post (sending guest articles directly to blogs) for Wordpress. Don't worry, that's an optional feature. Just ignore it if you don't have a Wordpress blog. You can still make offers in the gallery (provided you have verified your blog)
2. "So, now, I just write content in the site-used article generator?"
Generator? Not sure what you mean, but just in case: we allow only well-written authentical and useful content.
- Here's how guest blogging generally works
- Here are other members' review for you to know how people use the platform
3. To start off, you may want to browse PRIVATE forum to read about the rules, quality standards, other members' experiences, etc. Just look it over
4. Now, feel free to write a good article and try submitting it to the gallery.
- "so basically I want my posts on competitors sites and that will help out with backlinks and authority?"
There's no actual strict way to use guest blogging for links. If you don't want to write for competing sites, brainstorm topics in neighboring niches.
Lastly, if you need more help, examples of good guest articles, actual guest post ideas on your topics, etc - I can always be reached via email (I am going to email you right away as well)
