Guest Blogging as an Agency
-
Hi,
I have the following problem regarding guest blogging.
When sending out the pitch one can utilise the client's email so it appears coming from the business/client itself rather than an SEO agency.
However the problem that I am facing is what author bio to use.
Is it good to sign the posts as the internal SEO agency copywriters, as the client or I have found some suggesting to create a fake persona.
If the client or client staff as the author bio is not a solution what is the best way?
I hope my question is not confusing but this would really help me out.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards,
Conrad

Thanks Simon this is a great way to pitch.

The goal is to create content and links...
Getting thougth leadership in the subject without having a face/person is a bit challenging. In fact that is my issue of not being able to show a person behind an article. Making options for bio difficult.
-
What the goal here? Are you guest blogging just to get the link, or is the guest article also being used to promote the domain knowledge/authority of the business ("Thought leadership" is one phrase that gets thrown around!), attract prospects or possible employees etc?
Depending on what the goals are, you might want to establish a real contact in the business so that they can respond/handle enquiries.

Myself, I usually create another email address that doesn't mention the client nor the agency. From there I send my pitch for the link saying I represent a client that is in the X business and would like to link through high quality content on the target site.
From that respect, if you are putting in an Author Bio you could use a premade bio or your own bio that again doesn't have to mention client or agency.

Feedback & Advice on Blog Post
Hello Everyone, it's me again... After receiving feedback from many of you, we decided to add new and informative content to some of our more important blog posts. While the industry we're in isn't the most interesting and fun to talk about, we have always been told to just write high quality, helpful and useful content and people will find it and link naturally to it. We also believed that this would help improve the rankings of some of the inner pages on our site. So now we've spent numerous weeks updating specific posts, and still nobody links to it and still no significant rankings increase. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at this particular post: http://goo.gl/8q4XQk and provide any kind of feedback or advice that you may have. Thanks...

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?

Link Building for a New Blog
We are setting up a new blog and I was wondering what is the best way to build good quality links for a new website? I have been researching this quite a bit on the forums and a lot of people talk about writing good content which I agree with however no one will find that content if we are not ranking in Google for our keywords. From what I have read the following is what I should be doing Directory's Creating Link-bait (Info-graphics) PR Releases or Getting News Sites to link to us I have heard a lot of mention of using Articles sites like ezinearticles but I have also read that Post Panda that they dont have as much link juice as they once had and also I don't think that for a Blog that we should be using it as well but maybe I am wrong? Would appreciate some peoples suggestions

Why Post Useless Blog Comments
I notice that I'm getting a lot of spammy blog comments on a personal interest site. Why would someone go to all that trouble to get a nofollow link that will most likely not be approved?

Another guest blogging question (sorry people)
So I use myblogguest to find blogs to exchange content for links with. So a few things I need clearing up really, If you cant write relevant content to the website you want to push, does this mean writing content on something you know something about lets say football and putting anchor text links in the byline to a electronic shop would not work and is not worth doing? On the flip side lets say you get a copy writer to do it for you but the blogs wanting to use the content are not relevant to your website. So your articles about football and your website sells football equipment but the blogs wanting to use the content are general blogs with 20 categories covering everything. Cheers

Guest Post Label Devalue Links?
My link builders are doing an excellent job of creating well written articles with my links in the body of the text. However, most of them state it is a guest post at the top or bottom of the post. I also notice that the sites the articles are on frequently accept guest posts. 1. Does having the label "guest post" devalue the links at all? 2. Does the fact that the sites often allow for guest posts devalue the links?
