Good guest blogging communities?
-
Besides My Blog Guest, does anyone know of any good guest blogging communities?
The aforementioned, based on my few weeks of use, seems like a great community for guest blogging. Curious if any similar sites exist.

Hi Annie,
Reports from my guys who deal with such things are that life is harder on myblogguest now. With all the low quality link peddlars looking around for alternative strategies, guest blogging is high on their list. This means that lots of them have moved to the likes of MBG - making publishers more wary.

Hi Mat,
I've just started using Myblogbuest as well and so far it seems really good at connecting Bloggers and Blog owners.
Its difficult getting hold of webmasters or trying to convince them you are not going to spam them - you just want to share content and knowledge within your industry. This site seems to be a quicker way of getting hold of blog owners.
And Greg I have tried to use LinkedIn but not had much luck here. Every one wants to talk on linkedin and push out their own content (me included) but not many people actually listening!

Hi Greg,
In my experiences, direct outreach is better long term strategy than guest blogging sites. Not even do you get access to better blogs, you get a network of people who'll help promote you on social media.
It does take some months to build outreach this way, but totally worth it.
LinkedIn groups seems like a very good idea too!

Mat, thanks again for the suggestion. I've used Linked groups for other purposes, so using it for guest blogging opportunities seems like a good idea.

Not pushed it to be honest. We tend to now favour direct outreach. However look for a group called "the blog zone" - they have a guest blogging sub group. Quality level there is pretty good, but I wouldn't steam in with a "content for links" angle.
-
Thanks for the suggestions, Mat. Have you had any success with doing this in LinkedIn groups?

Myblogguest seems to be the stand out community for this. I haven't been able to find anything directly comparable myself. However, here are a few similar services (or at ones that overlap in some way). Quality varies... in truth some of these are quite spammy, but it's still good to know what is out there:
- http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/
- http://www.blogsynergy.com/
- http://guestbloggingnetwork.com/
- http://www.webtrafficcontrol.com/
- http://www.linknami.com/guest-post/
Also linked in has a couple of good groups for bloggers that can serve a similar function.

How To Increase Blog DA to 50+
Hey, I am wondering to know the key metrics which MOZ considers before giving a blog of DA 50+. I have tried to search but couldn't find the best answers so was wondering how it's achieved. For example a site named "SportsALA" have a DA of 20 but i see they have links from many sites. I have checked other sites as well for example and they have less RDs but still had higher DA. Can anyone help me to explain Moz DA 2.0 factors a bit more. Thanks

White Hat way to do blog commenting
Do you guys think careful blog commenting is still a valuable day-to-day linkbuilding tactic? If I create a list of relevant unspammed blogs, and spend maybe 30 minutes per day commenting on 3-5 of them per day, while making sure that they're not inundated with spammy comments - is that worth my time?

I have a really good article, now what?
Hi guys, New guy to SEO and new site, need some help. I've got a really good article (Deal Guide: How to Pay $50/mo (or nothing) for Unlimited Everything on AT&T), a few days old and it's already going viral on StumbleUpon and is getting shared on Facebook and Tweeted. My question is, now what? What can I do to boost it's value? I feel like I should be doing something to further push my article and build recognition for my new website. Should I run a Facebook sponsored story and further increase "likes" and shares? Blog/Forum commenting? I've done a little bit of this but there's so many iPhone 4s articles out there, that I don't know where to start. Should I be hitting the high PR pages? How can I find out if comments are follow/no-follow? Any other ideas?

Blogspot blog on sub domain
Hi, I have a blog on the blogger platform from Google and it currently sits on a sub domain which can be added into the settings. But I got a feeling Google wont see this as part of the website because when I add the sub domain into the main websites sitemap it kicks an error for it. So basically what I got is a website and an external blog. The external blog gets a post a day with an anchor text link back to the most relevant page on the main website but I have read on the SEOMOZ website that smashing one external blog is not anywhere near as effective as syndicating the content across a range of blogs. So I have an external blog with pr4 and 100 backlinks, I have to say I did not set this up it was handed over like this and I cant move the blog onsite either. I'm thinking it would have been better to have 10 blogs with pr2 with 10 backlinks on each instead. I need to double check this before I action this from now on.
