Where to find a directory of industry bloggers
-
Could anyone out there recommend directory sites containing industry specific bloggers or industry specific guest blogs.
Always seems very difficult to come by. For example we have written a great article collaborating with a "hardwood flooring" company and would love to get this published.
We are in London. Happy holidays to you all

Happy to help.

Agreeing with you completely. Thanks for your time. Very much appreciated.

Google is definitely your friend in this regard. If you can find something easily on Google, a link from them will generally carry more weight. Directories are mostly out of fashion at this point, as is some forms of guest blogging. It's fair to assume a site relying on a directory for guest posts on their blog is doing a lot of things Google isn't fond of anymore, and a link from them would not be valuable.

I wouldn't worry about trying to find a directory, instead let Google do all the work with some highly specific queries. My favorite approach is using the "inurl" modifier to target any website with specific words in the URL. Here are some examples.
To find a blog that offers guest blogging:
- inurl:blog + guest blog + hardwood flooring
- inurl:blog + article submission + hardwood flooring
- inurl:blog + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors
- inurl:resources + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors
- inurl:articles + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors
You can then simply keep trying different combinations until you find a nice long list of opportunities for outreach. Good luck!

In light of the Interflora advertorials debacle where do you think bloggers stand with regard to product reviews?
I realise the main blame fell on the newspapers for what was essentially cash for links, but a separate part of the PR push was sending flowers to bloggers who then blogged about it. I can see that this could be construed by Google to be a breach of their t&cs, but equally it could be a legitimate action by the blogger if they are giving an honest viewpoint. Is the Google Chrome "satchel" ad being unintentionally misleading? If it's all down to the intention that's a worryingly grey area to be stuck in, what do you think?

We are looking for people to be a guest blogger on items such as gadgets, business, finance, marketing and so on, but i am not sure what is the best way to attract people.

Keep or remove a link directory with 700 entries?
Hi, I've a site which has a link directory included. About 700 entries. Each entry has an own page with a title, description and of course a link to the extern site. The link is not marked as "nofollow". The site is only linking to similar / relevent other sites. Now the seo question: Keep the link directory as is? Add a nofollow to the links? Remove the link directory? (and about 700 pages) Best wishes, Georg.

Is It Necessary To Spin My Original Articles -- For Top Article Directory Distribution
Is it Necessary To Spin My Original Article For Top Article Directory Distribution like from Isnare if I have no interest in ranking for them just getting traffic form internal visitors, syndication oppty's for webmaster and ezine publishers ? I was told that it is not necessary to spin my original articles that were indexed in my blog before they are distributed to the 2 top article directories ezine articles and goarticles and the other top 13 or 15 --- If true - why ? and if false -- why ? I am not looking to rank in article directories my purpose is for syndication purposes and also any traffic I can get internally from visitors to the article directories. So would the article directories frown on me if I am submitting the same article from my blog to all other article directories as is straight from my blog. I

Blogger & Blogspot Content - Move Across To Own Domain?
Hey, A few new clients have blogs hosted on blogger & blogspot, the first advice of mine is to set up a blog hosted on their company domain. It's usually easy to convince them of the benefits. What should happen to all the content on the existing blog? One blog in question has over 100 entries, good content with a lot of links back to the business domain. The blog itself has less than 10 links pointing in but a domain mozrank 3.5. In this example, my gut is telling me to leave it as is, and start fresh on the own domain. What about if there's less then 10 posts? At what point should the content be moved over to the new blog? Thanks for your thoughts.
