Guest blogging question

by Heathj
12 replies
I am exploring all the different ways to drive traffic to my website and one of the ways I am very interested in, is SEO. I enjoy writing articles for my site and have started exploring guest blogging. I found several sites that allow you to post your articles with the hope that some blogger somewhere picks them up and puts them on their site with your link. Kinda sounds like ezinearticles with a different name.....my question is....

Are these worth it? Anyone have any experience with places like myblogguest, bloggerlinkup, blogdash and several others?

Are the backlinks from these places any good?

Thanks

    Search blogs which have high traffic then contact to blogger/ webmasters for offering your articles. You must write original & high quality articles (plus images) for them. You can insert your link into the articles. By this method, your blog can get traffic from other blogs, and also increase probabilty of search engine ranking position of your blog at Google.

    There are some good sources at MBG but there are some that aren't as good because they aren't very selective regarding GP placements. They will take anyone. So pick out your GP exchange with this in mind. The more selective, the better.

    Guest blogging can be very profitable provided that you find a blog that does have high traffic. However, those types of blogs want top notch blog posts and or articles to put up onto their sites so you should make doubly sure that your content is really really good.

    The cool thing about guest blogging or guest authoring whatever you may call it is the backlinking capabilities as well as the increase in traffic that you could receive as a result of your efforts. The more often that you can find blogs that you can add your content to, the better it will be for you and your business as well as your site rankings with the search engines.

    Not only that, but this method could even increase sales on your products and services that you offer as well.

    Not knocking it, but I didn't like Myblogguest. I found it a bit cludgy and the offers I got were poor quality and/or unrelated to my themes.

    Finding good guest posters, for me, has become an extension to what I was already doing. Just adding a link to the bottom on my Newsletter and creating a page on my site with 'guidelines' to explain what we are looking for was enough to get the ball rolling as far as contributions are concerned.

    As far as posting on other blogs goes, I accept that it's a slow, manual process,

      Wow Mark, has anyone ever told you how much you look like Brad Pitt?

      Thanks everyone for the responses.

      My site is up and running and ready for traffic, now I have stalled trying to figure out what traffic method to focus on. I am exploring several different avenues, but am floundering a bit, because I cant seem to decide on one.

      I really want to stick to one or two methods because my time is somewhat limited.

      SEO seems real intriguing to me, and so I am looking at guest blogging for back links.

      Thanks again all.

        Then your results will be limited too.

        Focusing just on one traffic method makes absolutely no sense.

        Instead you should be focusing on ALL of them, and of course, finding out which ones work, along with which ones that don't. Then investing your time on the ones that do.

          You can also look at syndicating your own content ('content syndication').

          That involves finding websites (and blogs) in your niche that will accept content from third parties.

          I suppose you could almost say 'content syndication' is like 'guest blogging' on steroids.

          We all know the 'old' automated ways that were once used to get backlinks, have just about vanished thanks to Google's crackdown on those automated link building systems.

          Today Google wants to see your links built 'naturally' and 'Content syndication' is one the most powerful ways to build quality backlinks naturally, and to generate unlimited 'targeted' traffic to your site

    Guest blogging has nothing to do with SEO at all.

    The whole purpose of guest blogging is to drive highly targeted traffic to your website. In essence, its about getting in front of an already established audience. This makes perfect sense if you're just starting out, and don't have a following (audience) of your own.

    It makes no sense submitting your work in "hope" that it might get picked up "somewhere". Submit your work instead to an established property, where your audience already is.

    go to Google search bar type in ''anxiety blog''. You have so many bloges to chose from.

    what I suggest, take the top three. read their content and if you can add to it with a useful article that they would want to put on their site.

    second tip - join anxiety forums that allow a signature. post use full tip's build a reputation up in as an expert in the field.

    third tip - sit back and watch the $$ role in if you do it right.

    like the set up of your blog, needs a lot more content, like the fact your writing from a first person point of view gives the reader something to relate to. only thing I would add is a forum.

    It's totally fine as long as you can insert a link to your post. Having someone picking up your article is an added bonus! To make it happen you just have to write awesome contents! So go ahead, it's not too bad to explore and make mistakes. it's part of your learning process!
