Guest blogging for the gaming industry
-
Guest blogging seems to be one of the few legit linking methods left these days.
My problem is that I work for a company in the gaming industry niche.
All of the blogs directly connected are either spam, competitors or affiliates.
I have been doing some guest blogging with connected articles on non-related blogs such as "financial advice if you win big" or a recent news story for a general blog.
However, these sites are not connected and I cannot get the more quality general sites interested in these topics.
Any advice for me?

Online Gambling is always going to be very black hat and difficult to rank for 'legitimately' I found that using the wayback machine (http://archive.org/web/web.php) can help rat out spammy Gambling sites that have changed around.
As well as this it is just a matter of searching and finding those hidden gems or pushing some kind of high quality viral / media campaign where you can get into the higher quality websites.
Gambling and Pills are always going to be very blackhat so maybe you need to change hat slightly.

Yes, and it's great for finding blogs in unrelated industries that will publish my articles.
But my question is more if those links are valuable and if not suggestions for how to get more valuable/relevant ones.

But that is exactly my problem...
When I do that all I get is a bunch of junk.

Hi,
If you were promoting a website called “online gambling”, it might be an idea to search for “online gambling guest blogs” and go through the search results identifying opportunities to contribute to various blogs as you go along.

Been offered a no follow link on a blog post ?. Is it worth it ?
Hi All, We are having a go at doing our own link building and just wanted some advice on a couple of questions I've found some industry related blog sites which could be good but alot of them only offer a no follow link ?. Is this worth it ? And if ,so what is the advantage of having a no follow link ? as it won't directly help with our DA etc ? I've also noticed some of these sites link to each other or recommend each other (i.e other blog sites) which may be some sort of link network ?.. I take it this is bad ? and could be penalized by google ? thanks pete

Will feeding a blog through a widget onto a wix site help rankings?
I have a client I am writing blog content for, however his site was recently redesigned on wix html5. They offer no native blog. I have used a widget to embed blog from another site, however does this help seo in any way? When people share on social media, etc., it is linking the embedded page, not the clients site, right? So it would not be giving any link juice to site. It also doesn't help for organic search of content if it is embedded, is that right? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to overcome this issue. Would creating a "faux" blog on the Wix site work (as in multiple pages that I would then categorize and link to each other to navigate like a blog myself)? Wix looks like it has page length maximums too, so I'm not sure how I would get around that. It is also clunky to share on social media without a "share" button for viewer, but perhaps I am mistaken. Is that a ridiculous solution? What have other people done to deal with this issue and get better rankings with Wix platform? Thanks in advance for any input! I'm feeling a little frustrated with what to do.

White Hat way to do blog commenting
Do you guys think careful blog commenting is still a valuable day-to-day linkbuilding tactic? If I create a list of relevant unspammed blogs, and spend maybe 30 minutes per day commenting on 3-5 of them per day, while making sure that they're not inundated with spammy comments - is that worth my time?
