      Uh, that's wrong. Ezinearticles' materials are syndicated elsewhere. I'm looking for blog posts that WILL NOT BE POSTED ELSEWHERE.

        My Blog Guest is one alternative, but what you can also try is search for some blogs within your niche and directly contact the blog owners and share with them your content and ask whether they would be interested in publishing it on their blogs.

        Here is a bunch of footprints you can use to find such blogs:

        [niche keyword phrase] +"write for us"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"submit"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"author guidelines"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"writer guidelines"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"article submission"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"submit content"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"submit an article"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"author submission"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"article submission guidelines"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"online magazine"
        [niche keyword phrase] +"online newsletter"

          The problem with your ARTICLE DIRECTORY approach is that PANDA will kill your rankings. No debate there-that's just the truth. You can say that duplicate content is not a problem but the places you put duplicate content will suffer (IF the only basis is duplicate content and no additional commentary or other original supplemental content)

          Article marketing the way you envision it is DYING. People mostly use it to build links and only if they randomize the anchors (due to penguin). You can claim whatever you want but you only need to reed tons of seo sites to see where that approach is headed

          Sorry to break it to you

          Exactly so - a win/win situation, as you say.

          Those websites are called "article directories": that's the exact reason for their existence and the exact purpose they serve.



          I see.

          Let me just check if I have this right: you want content that's never been published anywhere else, that will appear on your blog only, that will be of the sort of quality you're willing to publish and thereby be associated with, that will never be published anywhere else, and you don't want to have to write it, and you want it to be available to you without paying, as well?!

          Good luck with that.

          You obviously haven't heard of guest posting. Kinda shocking considering you hold yourself out as some sort of "expert" in content marketing

    Ummm, if you want people to post their original content on your blog for free then you have to make sure your blog has high PR and has good readership. Because people will not just submit their content freely unless they gain exposure in exchange.

      This, pretty much. Good blogs with high value readers don't usually have to go trolling websites to find guest writers. Guest writers come to them.

        Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!

        If you want exclusive quality content, you'd best have more to offer than a backlink or two which will soon be buried deep in the archives of your blog.

        If all you want is '100% original blog posts' and you don't care about quality, finding SEO types to hack something together for you should not be too tough.

      You are mixing 2 motives for free blog guest posts. It can be either of those. Some just want links. Others want branding. Other want direct links.

    Alexa, all the respect, but sometimes I wonder why you even bother...

    icoachu: if you think someone is going to spend 3-4 hours writing a high quality article for each little wimpy blog that demands 'original' content, which apparently have no idea what duplicate content means, then you're way off the track. Nobody in their right minds will do that, except perhaps when it's really worth it (like for a publisher that will offer incredibly high exposure, but that's rarely the case).

    The beauty of the article marketing is that you leverage one article by offering it to more than one place to be published, so you get more out your work and not have to write a new, original, entertaining, engaging and educative article for every blog that's out there.

      I agree with everything that John, Hans, Alexa etc. has said about article marketing and guest blogging but there is one site that I use to find guest bloggers and that's blogsynergy.com

      Some of the writers I've found there do it for the love of writing, others because they want links on relevant sites. Admittedly I don't get many writers from there because I don't visit often enough to find more. Not all of them write acceptable material but at present I have a couple of good writers updating 2 of my blogs fairly regularly. I believe that there is at least one more site like blogsynergy

      As for using articles from ezine articles - if they are well written and offer good information in your niche then you are providing a good experience for your visitor and that's what Google wants. There is nothing to stop you from making a syndicated post more unique by adding an introduction, images, videos, your opinion. You can do those things without altering the original article and by building out posts you improve your bounce rate - another thing that Google likes.

    guest blogging is truly a win win

    the guest blogger gets a backlink and branding

    the blog who published the guest post gets original content that's not being published elsewhere

    I am looking for OTHER systems that have an automated verification system. Myblogguest is good because it tracks if your link got tampered with (no follow or hidden)

    I have been doing this for over 12 years now. When it comes to internet marketing I can usually write 1000 or so word articles as fast as I can type the words with no research involved. If you want quality you either must find someone like me or someone willing to put a few hours, if not days, into writing a productive article.

    I don't know about those that need to do the extended research but for me it is going to take a lot more than a couple of useless backlinks from a sub-par blog to get my exclusive content.

    Do you realize how much more we can make promoting our own content?It always amazes me that people will go over to fiver .. grab the most words for the least money .. and then whine because they get poor results from their efforts .... especially when there was no real effort put forth.

    I've been approached my more than a dozen SEO companies offering guest posting in exchange for backlinks. The demand is there. Anyone else know of a better free guest post market or exchange?

    Another advantage is you can get in touch with content providers and get newsletter stuff from them. It's all about how you work the deal. FREE, baby
