          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

                            New blog contributors

                            For context my website is a content resource portal. In SEO training I have been told that it is a good SEO move to have as many content contributors as possible. As a result we are pushing to recruit new content contributors so they can be listed as new contributors/authors on our site alongside their valuable content. Would this move be good for our SEO rankings and is there anything in particular to consider with this?

                            Is it ok to have two blogs for my website?

                            Hi Pep's The blog for my website is integrated, but does not have a URL that matches the text. The company I use for my site say that it can't be changed. Basically it displays numbers instead of text in the url. So I thought, what about starting another blog as well as the original. Would this have any effects on my SEO, negative or positive? Any advice greatly appreciated! 🙂

                            Can We Publish Duplicate Content on Multi Regional Website / Blogs?

                            Today, I was reading Google's official article on Multi Regional website and use of duplicate content. Right now, We are working on 4 different blogs for following regions. And, We're writing unique content for each blog. But, I am thinking to use one content / subject for all 4 region blogs. USA: http://www.bannerbuzz.com/blog/ UK: http://www.bannerbuzz.co.uk/blog/ AUS: http://www.bannerbuzz.com.au/blog/ CA: http://www.bannerbuzz.ca/blog/ Let me give you very clear ideas on it. Recently, We have published one article on USA website. http://www.bannerbuzz.com/blog/choosing-the-right-banner-for-your-advertisement/ And, We want to publish this article / blog on UK, AUS & CA blog without making any changes. I have read following paragraph on Google's official guidelines and It's inspire me to make it happen. Which is best solution for it? Websites that provide content for different regions and in different languages sometimes create content that is the same or similar but available on different URLs. This is generally not a problem as long as the content is for different users in different countries. While we strongly recommend that you provide unique content for each different group of users, we understand that this may not always be possible. There is generally no need to "hide" the duplicates by disallowing crawling in a robots.txt file or by using a "noindex" robots meta tag. However, if you're providing the same content to the same users on different URLs (for instance, if both example.de/ and example.com/de/ show German language content for users in Germany), you should pick a preferred version and redirect (or use the rel=canonical link element) appropriately. In addition, you should follow the guidelines on rel-alternate-hreflang to make sure that the correct language or regional URL is served to searchers.

                            Hello, We're adding a blog to one of our sites. How many words should be in a blog post for it to be optimal for the search engines? If it varies from industry to industry, please give a couple of examples. We were going to do 500 words but that seems a bit long. Thanks!
