          Hey Folks,

          Does anybody have advice on tools I could use to locate blogs on specific topics? My plan is to approach the webmasters and offer guest blogging services.

          I know I could just do a google search for something like "KEYWORD blogs" but I thought I'd see if there is anything more sophisticated out there.

          Thanks,

          Rich

            Thanks for the mention. I just want to note that we at MyBlogGuest are undergoing a quality-control stage right now: We are trying to drag users FROM link dropping while connecting them to niche community-bloggers, so it's a good time to join!

              Gents, thank you so much for the responses. There's a lot to go on here!

              @Tim - great tips, clever use of queries. I'll try that this afternoon.

              @David - Clever! Would not have thought of that.

              @Sebastian - This does sound like hard work, but with great payoffs. I actually have similar relationships in a different niche so I can vouch this approach in that developing the relationship has huge payoffs down the road. Carte Blanche.

              Totally thrilled with this advice. Thank you again.

              Rich

                It definitely takes more time, and can be hard to setup initially, but in the end it'll make life easier.

                Outreach to bloggers can be really tough. With this method, you've got a foot in the door before you ask for something.

                It's also great for general social development - who better to engage with than the people who have the audience!

                  Great point - This is alot harder but more worth while in the long run as you can get better sites to blog for.

                    Hi Rich

                    Tom's method is good, but I find that a lot of opportunities arrise from smart interactions and engagement with bloggers on social media channels.

                    I always find that you're more likely to be allowed to do a guest post for a blog once you've built a relationship first. It's a good idea to research blogs you want to reach out to and then engage with them without asking for anything first. Then, once you/ your brand is on good terms, float the question.

                    This is also a powerful way to drive blog publicity in a more general way, without even needing to provide a guest post.

                      The above method is great - One of the best ways is to find someone in the niche doing guest blogging and look at backlinks and search the author bio  and reverse image search the avatar to find opportunities.But be careful not to guest blog on free for all and bad sites.

                        Hi Rich

                        You could try some search operator queries, try some of these out:

                        Keyword + intitle:“write for us”
                        Keyword + intitle:“contribute to”
                        Keyword + intitle:“submit” + inurl:blog
                        inpostauthor:guest + keyword
                        inpostauthor:”guest blog” + keyword
                        inpostauthor:”guest post” + keyword
                        inurl:- “write for us” OR “write for me” + keyword
                        “become a contributor” OR “contribute to this site” + keyword
                        “Guest Article” + keyword
                        “Become guest writer” keyword
                        “Become guest blogger” keyword
                        “submit a Blog Post” + keyword

                            Best Practices for Recurring Blog Topics

                            Our site has annual articles (such as a payment calendar and an announcement of our annual conference). Is it better to keep all the old blog articles available and searchable, redirect them to the most current year's entry, or something else entirely? My instinct is to have a permanent redirect to the newest article.

I would like to create a blog on a sub-domain, something like: http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/ Is it possible to host this sub-domain on another server? Host this sub-domiane to BlueHost for example and keep my domaine to BigCommerce. If YES, I would like to buy a Word Press theme and start a blog on this sub-domain: http://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/ Thank you, BIgBlaze

                            Should a business blog be on a separate site or on the ecommerce site itself?

                            Hey there. I'm a new Pro member and this will be my first question on the Q&A. Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm the owner of an ecommerce site that sells custom candles. www.prometheancandle.com in case anyone wants to take a peak. I've become somewhat of an expert on all-things-candles over the past 4 years and I am thinking about starting a candle related blog. My question is this. Should I build this blog on the ecommerce site itself, say @ www.prometheancandle.com/blog.php, or should I devote a separate site to answering candle related question, history of candles, etc? At first, I was thinking that the blog should remain on the ecommerce site so readers would have easy access to the shop to be able to purchase products. But then it occurred to me that people who may be interested in reading up on candle history, candle making, meditation & candles, etc., may not want to go to an obviously ecommerce site to do that. I know Google values informational sites more than ecommerce sites (at least I think they do), so that encourages me to lean towards the separate site. Well, I may have just answered this question myself, but I'd definitely be interested to hear feedback and opinions. Thanks so much guys and I look forward to hearing from you.

                            Sourcing content and images for Office Interior Design Blog

                            Im currently building a blog on Wordpress, and I will be blogging about Office Interior Designs. When I look at my competition they have some great blog posts about office interior designs and I have no idea about how they get: a) The ideas to blog about, how do they find out about these office interior designs b) how they get the content for them, how do they know what to write about each one, do they need permission etc, c) if i am interested in doing a blog on the same office interior design as them, how can I get information )and permission from the company that done the office interior design) on the office interior design so i can blog about it and also how do i get the images and stuff. an example is http://www.officedesignblog.com/invensys-rail-office-concept/726/ I would like to cover this aswell, as i think my future readers would like to know about this. how did they get the images, and the information about the project so they could write a blog post about it? And how would I go about doing the same thing?

                            At some point in the past I read or was told that No Index, No Follow tags on category and tag pages were a good thing on a standard WordPress blog in order to prevent duplicate content issues. Is this still true or was it ever true?
