Guest Blogging - How to Find Blogs

[korwil]

So I am interested in guest blogging on other peoples blogs. I know that it is a great way to build links and traffic for my website. The one problem I am having is that I don't know an EASY method to find blogs.

I know I can go to some related blogs and contact the owner, but this has been time consuming and many times I just get a no or no response.

I am wondering if there are any websites where you have been able to find blogs to blog on, or if you have been able to use something like myblogguest successfully.

Thanks and let me know your tips as this is new to me.

There are a lot of blogs and sites accepting blog posts, there are some things you need to consider when contacting a webmaster. You need to show them some sort of value. There may be a reason you don't get a reply and it could be because your not asking them properly.

If someone contacted to guest post on my site, I would be looking for an email like this.

"Hey my name is ______ I have been following your blog for a long time now and I really enjoyed your last post about Article Marketing. I would love to write an article for your site if you would be accepting. Are there any subjects you would like me to write about? Maybe something you have not covered on your blog, I am a very good writer and you could see some of my work here "LINKS TO GUEST POSTS YOU HAVE WROTE".

You should put effort into the email because this is what will determine if you will get a response from them or not.

What you should not do!
Do not send an email like this because it will get trashed,
" Hi i want to guest post and in return i will need and anchor link"

Here is an idea, go onto Google spend 20 minutes looking for sites related to your niche and contact as many as you can with a good email. Talk about there recent work and try to interact with them, ask them questions, this way you can also build a relationship with other bloggers and even become friends or whatever.

This works for me.

Hope it help

Go to Google and type in

"write for us" <keyword>
"guest blog" <keyword>

Only request as a guest blogger to sites with established authority, and more importantly, only submit a request if you can demonstrate quality at your end.

[Alexa Smith]

There are many suggestions here, too - especially in the article linked to in the post ("guest blogging" being a specific variety of "article marketing"): How to Find Article Syndication Partners?

[MonitorScout]

Stop struggling from now on, as all the blogs are potential. So instead of search here and there search from Google with your niche phrase. And send request to each and every one out there, and start communicate with them.

That's how it works.

[pejman50]

One very good method is to write a good article then start contacting guest blogs then with the article attached, remember these blog sites are getting lots of so when you email them email them with an article ready to go, you will get a much greater success rate at that time. We have a strong blog we have built on our site at WebNet Hosting Blog, but as well as guest posting, it works, be patient and begin guest posting on good sites with good quality content.

[korwil]

Thanks for all the quick information. I am going to use the tips I see here from everyone to hopefully find a few blogs for guest posting.

Hi, depends what niche your in. If it's IM then a good site is www.winningtheweb.com

They have a list of about 370 of the top IM blogs broken down into sub niches from SEO to Copywriting etc. They also have a list of stats such as Alexa rank, No of Twitter followers etc etc.

Hope that helps!

[WordpressManiac]

Search on Google for related blogs, comment for a few weeks or days there and build a relationship. After that you could ask to guest blog.

[ecoverartist]

I'm a member of Jon Morrow's guest blogging course over at GuestBlogging.com and it's a phenomenal way to find guest blogs plus how to write for them to make sure your work gets accepted.

[ccole]

John Romaine is right. The best thing to do in searching a blog for guest blogging is by using a search code technique in Google.

"guest post" + [your keyword]
"guest author" + [your keyword]

you can also find blogs in Twitter. check the link: Want Guest Post Links? Find Them Via Twitter [TOOL] | SEOmoz

[jbsmith]

In combination with seeking out blogs looking for guest posts, make sure you are posting to YOUR OWN blog regularly and sharing that content via a growing social network - I now get requests to re-use my content just from my own subsriber list and people that have reached my blogs via social networks...nice when they come to you versus having to chase them :-)

[bryansgal]

I've quickly read through the responses here and am surprised that no one has mentioned MyBlogGuest. (Google it) You might find some great people to connect with.

Otherwise, yep... Google the strings people have put here and contact them individually. Don't mass email people. Read a few posts if it's your first time on their blog. Find the about section and READ it. Get a feel for what the owner's mission is and (if provided), their name.

SOOOO many 'SEO companies' are mass contacting people. A year or two ago, people read about how to do this and started emailing everyone and telling the blog owner "why it's so important to have good fresh content" and blah blah. By them guest posting, they'll get more traffic, more content... Blog owners are bombarded with these cookie cutter crap emails. Don't go that route.

[Tiptopcat]

There is a service called Guest blogging: Looking for guest bloggers or guest post? Join MyBlogGuest! Take a look at their website. I think it is for people looking for websites to guest post on and for websites to find writers.

Good luck.

[JohnMcCabe]

Here's a tip to avoid a mistake many people make when they start down this path.

They fixate on a handful of keywords to find all the blogs related to the keywords they want to rank for. Especially the people who view guest blogging as a SEO activity.

Doing so often yields a list of competitors, and a lot of 'no' answers.

Instead, think about topics that are related to yours by more than just a keyword.

Let's say you are promoting a golf product. Heck, let's go with a topic that it seems half of the forum wants to cover - fitness.

Instead of looking for all the other blogs flogging a fitness product, think about what activities a higher level of fitness would enhance...

> Golf blogs might welcome a guest post on how to finish a round with more energy than you started with. Or one on how to play once a week without feeling crippled the next morning. Or what stretching exercise to do when that happens.

> How about an article for all the mommy blogs on how to keep up with a two year old - or a teenager. Or which exercises to do to remind hubby of the hottie he married.

Search for blogs/sites/newsletters that your content would complement, not compete with.

[sparkah]

John makes a great point. several.

You can also use helpareporterout dot com.

My favorite method is to create a filter in Twitter.

Most all professional bloggers publish in twitter.

[marciayudkin]

One very good method is to write a good article then start contacting guest blogs then with the article attached, remember these blog sites are getting lots of so when you email them email them with an article ready to go, you will get a much greater success rate at that time.

This method has a very serious drawback!

Most high-quality blogs expect guest blog posts to be exclusive to them. If you use the method recommended above, you will have to tell them when they ask that it is NOT exclusive to them. And at that point you also run the danger of having insulted them by approaching them as if they were a low-quality, who-cares blog.

For the last five guest blog posts I have had published, four of the five blogs made a special point of specifying that my post needed to be exclusive to them. The fifth blog didn't care if the post appeared elsewhere.

[kylenelson24]

i have used myblogguest.com (i have no affiliation) for writing for other blogs and having bloggers right for me. It is a great website!

[bigjara]

You should check out myguestblog.com. It's a site for people looking for guest posters.

[jasonsluck]

Check out Guest Post Hunter on this forum.

[loveforseo]

@jasonsluck Guest post hunter uses limited footprints hence the sites that are pulled by it are not very effective. I would suggest you use this free Guest post query generator . Its a simple tool but highly effective. Once you have the footprints, you can use scrapebox and scrape 100's of sites that accepts guest posts. Personally i never had issues with finding blogs accepting guest posts. The hard part is contacting them and getting your article published.

You can also check out this article on useful tools for guest blogging

9 Tools to Make Guest Blogging Easy | Guest Post Labs

[raffman999]

You can use search terms like "write for us" and you keyword. Or look on Fiverr for an appropriate gig.

[tomerep]

Go onto twitter and type, “my guest post” in quotations, into the search bar, there you will find hundreds of people who have recently posted guest posts, promoting them. This is basically a gold mine. You can find a lot of high quality blogs through this method as a lot of those who promote their guest posts on social media also tend to not be low quality writers. So generally, they write for the best blogs and sites.

This is probably one of the more effective techniques for finding blogs that accept guest posts, which no one really does.

[jgant]

MyBlogGuest is decent, but you won't get published on A-list blogs. I still use it, but primarily for infographic syndication.

I think you get far more bang for your buck spending time and effort getting on an A-list website. That link and the ensuing traffic is well worth it. But, you need to write something very good.

If you want to go the quantity route, hire a writer to publish guest posts for you. I did this when I launched a couple of new blogs and my 2 writers were each able to get 1 guest post published daily. I built up some decent backlinks quickly ... but these were not A-list sites.

You just need to pitch your proposal and hope for the best. If rejected, improve your content and proposal.

[JMichaelZ]

Unless you spend all day and night writing unique content articles, you are probably only going to be able to do one or two guest posts in a week. So you don't really need a ton of prospective blogs.

You are doing it the best way now, in a one-off manner. that sets you apart from the SEO spammer type of mass solicitations, especially if you take the time to read and comment on the blog you want to post on in the first place.

[GlenH]

There's no short-cut to finding sites that will accept guest content for syndication.

But there are a lot of ways to make finding these sites a whole lot easier and quicker

[Sue McDonald]

My guest blogger is a good free site and also type into a search engine "Guest blogger"+"your keyword".

[themen710]

I use Google Alerts to get articles delivered. This works in conjunction with my Google Reader account.Another option: PostRank. Check the 'top blogs' for a specific topic.Results are not always good, but can be interesting. Just don't expect to find non-English/American stuff.

[sirtiman]

Blog directories or blogging communities.

[IMSince2003]

The suggestions above are very good. The search strings are correct and I also use Google Alerts. With Google Alerts, you can find the authority sites in your niche. Once you know your way around them, finding other blogs is easy by looking at guest posts and comments and forums.

Good luck.

yes, that is a great service! but I would mention one thing, find amazing sites and post 1 amazing post rather than just post 5 low quality ones.

its not a numbers game...it never was (see 2012 google updates)

a lot of people got this wrong over the years in seo

[Evocess]

Well try to use the power of Google.
There's a lot of free guest blogging site out there wherein you can just post your blogs.
Everything is there and asking for help in forums is really a good way to find solutions. All you need to do is search the right keyword.

Those days are gone, unless you can
afford 3 employes to search and contact people all day,
I think if one person can get 2 posts up a day working 8 hours,
I consider that a success.

That gets you about 40 links a month.

Depending on your niche that can be a good scenario.

Luckily there are tools that can help if you want to go that road:

Scrapebox for example, you can put in a search query,
and it will go and find all that information for you. Well not just
that, it will sort it for you! So if you search for:

"write for us" make money blogging
"guest blog" make money blogging

I got this list in under 1 minute, now I can assure you
that 10% of those will be great websites, where you
can post.

i've started using myblogguest recently and have had great response for my health blog even though it has no PR and currently only about 50 unique visitors per day...

[Cyber Star]

You should deal with the fact that, guest blogging is not simple. But once you have the opportunity to do it, it is like having other people advertise your post for free. All you need to do is blog walking with other blogs that is related and is an authority blog. As a wordpress blogger myself, people will let you be their guess if they know what kind of post that you made on your blog.

[mert]

Guest posting has undoubtedly become popular, features a lot of benefits and advantages for all web owners. From search engine optimization point of view, putting up written content about additional internet sites makes it possible to results back links, this provides you with much more internet search engine results.

Some good steps to follow on guest and blog posting.

1. Be topic selective. Write a quality article in relevant method.

2. Be properly organized. You should arrange all the outputs that you have done on posting. Record all the accounts and websites you have posted.

3. Read more. If you are reading and interacting more on the web, you have a big chance to know and acquainted by all the posters and bloggers online.

4. Write a valuable post. If you are just posting junks, you will be thrown away together with your useless post. You can write inspirations, philosophical beliefs, political point of view and whatever you want as long as it has value on the reader.

5. Evaluate. Lastly, browse your post again and try to think why you receive amusing comments from your readers. Evaluate why you got a negative and angry comments, you might hit something that is against on their beliefs and philosophies. Stand your post and explain to them why you wrote something about that.
