Finding Guest Bloggers
-
Does anyone have good tips for finding someone who can do guest blogging for me? I don't have the time to track down good blogs to post on.

I find the guest blogging classifies horrible these days. Like all things SEO they were great for a while and now its so full of people that wouldn't pass Grade 2 English that it's a waste of time. It's just a little too hit and miss. I would simply find some blogs you love that are in a similar niche and probably about the same size in terms of online standing and send out a 'how do you do' email. If you like their blog then you already know they have an agreeable writing style so you're half way there. Either that or hire a content writer (like me!) . Many content writers rates are quite inexpensive, especially if you get say 10 articles for a set price.

Put up a sign. Make the requirements really steep.
Something will appear in your email.

Check out http://myblogguest.com/ - it's a forum where you can request content (for free) by category and people will send you posts. I've used it a little and find it to be an overly good community.
Alternatively you could try www.odesk.com which is a website where you pay for resource (people bid on your job so it's a cheap alternative). I've had good and bad resource from there so when hiring just be sure to ask for a sample of their writing first.

Have you checked out http://myblogguest.com/ ?
I've thought about this and an idea i'm going to test out is a banner on my blog, a really visual one that would lead users to a landing page explaining why I would like guest bloggers to apply.
I would detail this page with screenshots showing what a guest blog would look like, featuring them in a big author section (this might include a picture of their choice, their interests, their website etc). They are doing the hard work of writing a great blog, it just makes sense to give a beautiful layout to showcase their work.
Another idea I thought about was a thumbs up or thumbs down option, users who read the article can thumb it, the more thumbs, the more it might motivate the individual to submit more. Plus, it might spur other readers to submit as well.

How do you find your ideas for content
Morning Mozzers, We have finally come to the point where we can start to focus on making good original content. We were wondering how you guys come up with ideas for your content. We are currently doing lots of keyword research to gather ideas and subject areas. But we are struggling with 'angles of attack'. Being an eCommerce site it is easy to do lots of "The 5 best products for this" type of content. But we feel there is limited value in these especially if we want to gain links to our articles in future as valued content. How do you come up with your ideas for more valuable and linkable content especially in very niche product areas. Thanks all.

Advice on how to handle Guest Blogging between multiple brands
How to you manage your guest blogging efforts between companies. I blog for 4 different companies, and just started….I am confused if I should blog as myself, or should each company have an "author" set up, and then guest blog under each author? I want their website to get better rankings, and the brand to get more engagement. I am not concerned about myself and my authorship rating….but should I be? Would that be more beneficial to have all blogs tied to me, to help with engagement. Or am I shooting myself in the foot by not increasing my authorship. What's more important? Authorship or blogging about the relevant content from the author that makes the most sense? Just looking for tips from anyone that has to blog under different brands. How do you do it?!?! (also, looking into myguestblog plugin)

Rel="noindex in a guest post
I'm guest posting on some sites and one of them placed my back link as follows: mysite.com I'm not sure what he's trying to achieve with the help of rel="noindex"? The first that jumps into my mind is that Google will index the post but skip my backlink. So, there's no sense in such a bakclink, ringht?

Onsite Blogging Vs Guest Blogging
Hey all! I have a limited amount of time allocated to writing instructional blog posts for my company. When I complete an article I can do whatever I want with it: pitch it as a guest post on an industry blog, or post it on my company's onsite blog. I know there's not a magical solution regarding the percentage of time one should devote to guest blogging v. focusing on the company blog, but I figured I'd throw the conundrum out to the Mozzers anyway. In your opinion, how many of your writing resources should be devoted to guest posts, and how many should be devoted to maintaining the onsite blog? What if our onsite blog isn't currently receiving a lot of traffic? Thanks! Meg
