      Hello All,

      I'm looking to perform a 'Standard' guest blog post link building tactic, but i'm a little unsure as where to start.

      Does anybody have a list/ guide to websites that accept guest posts?

      Preferably ones that are useful for SEO purposes, I have been link building for about 3 months now, but to be honest, most of these links are NoFollow, which isn't too great!

        www.myblogguest.com I've found is decent for getting good backlinks from guest blogs.  However, the guest blog post has got to be to a decent standard to get accepted.  It goes into a list of posts for selected.  There's another one called blogger link up which is a kind of dating service for guest blog posts and publishers 😉

          Hi,

          http://myblogguest.com/ is a good site for you to find blogs that are willing to accept guest blogs.  You have to sign up for an account and it is a community where people request for blogs to post on or request for posts for their blog.  It is 100% free and join the comunity to find a blog that you think fits your niche and message the blog owners to see if they want to post your article.

          hope this helps!

            Great answer above me, so I'd only add another resource to finding guest post opportunities.

            Stoked SEO's link building query generator utilises all the different google search terms you can use to also find posting opportunities.

            Don't forget to look at related blogs on sites like Technorati as well, and approach them through their contact forms.

              _Again I would like to say that your approach toward guest blogging is not correct. Guest blogging is not a hit and run thing. Do not be in such rush to get articles published in sites that accept guest posts. And who said that no-followed links do not add any value? You should not believe Google all the time 😉

              Take it this way. You need to treat it as a way to promote your brand. So hire the best writer and prepare a killer content or you can hire a professional graphic designer and create a killer infographic whatever it suits your purpose._

              And I do not wish to play wise here. So, here is the ultimate resource:

                Is a page with links to all posts okay?

                Hi folks. Instead of an archive page template in my theme (I have my reasons), I am thinking of simply typing the post title as and when I publish a post, and linking to the post from there. Any SEO issues that you can think of? Thanks in advance!

                My last site crawl shows over 700 404 errors all with void(0 added to the ends of my posts/pages.

                Hello, My last site crawl shows over 700 404 errors all with void(0 added to the ends of my posts/pages.  I have contacted my theme company but not sure what could have done this.  Any ideas? The original posts/pages are still correct and working it just looks like it did duplicates and added void(0 to the end of each post/page. Questions: There is no way to undo this correct? Do I have to do a redirect on each of these? Will this hurt my rankings and domain authority? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Wade

                Blog On Subdomain - Do backlinks to the blog posts on Subdomain count as links for main site?

                I want to put blog on my site.  The IT department is asking that I use a subdomain (myblog.mysite.com) instead of a subfolder (mysite.com/myblog).  I am worried b/c it was my understanding that any links I get to my blog posts (if on subdomain) will not count toward the main site (search engines would view almost as other website).   The main purpose of this blog is to attract backlinks.  That is why I prefer the subfolder location for the Blog. Can anyone tell me if I am thinking about this right? Another solution I am being offered is to use a reverse proxy. Thoughts? Thank you for your time.

                Moving blog to a subdomain, how can I help it rank?

                Hi all, We recently moved our blog to a sub-domain where it is hosted on Wordpress. It was very recent and we're actively working on the SEO, but any pointers on getting the subdomain to rank higher than the old blog posts would be terrific. Thanks!

                Ranking Page - Category vs. Blog Post - What is best for CTR?

                Hi, I am not sure wether I shall rank with a category page, or create a new post. Let me explain... If I google for 'Basic SEO' I see an article from Rand with Authorship markup. That's cool so I can go straight to this result because I know there might be some good insight. BUT: 'Basic SEO' is also an category at MOZ an it is not ranking. On the other hand, if I google for 'advanced SEO' then the MOZ category for 'advanced SEO' is ranking. But there is no authorship image, so users are much less likely to click on that result. Now, I want to rank for a very important keyword for me (content keyword, not transactional). Therefor, I have a category called 'yoga exercises'. But shall I rather create an post about them only to increase CTR due to Google Authorship? I read in Google guidelines that Authorship on homepage an category pages are not appreciated. Hope you have some insights that can help me out.

                Blog comments - backlinks - question

                Hi, I see that many good websites have backlinks from very good blogs/sites which are relative. What I noticed that everyone use their real name or generic name in comments. They do not use the keyword for the name. So later they get backlinks with anchor text of their names... So, my question is this good technique ? Do I have any benefits from these backlinks for my website ? With such a technique, whether it is enough just to leave your real name or may I periodically put the keyword for the name ? Thank you
