Hello guys, Last week, Google has published a warning post about guest posting and article syndication. If you do guest posting and massive article marketing to target for gaining links, that can be penalized your website and affect your website ranking. Recently I have written a post about that and following two ways you can prevent from this warning. http://www.seoloud.com/google-warning-about-guest-posting/ I hope that post helps you. Please let me know about your opinion. Cheers, Saddam
I think it's only a matter of time before SEO is dead for sure. It may take years or even a few decades till this happens but nearly all search engines and social networks with search engines decrease their organic reach so that marketers have to use their PPC-Systems to earn their money. I for one will continue to do guest posting. The trick is to write original articles, pitch them on high quality blogs and also to use other backlink sources.
Write your Guest Posts to build your readers not just for backlinks...who have great writing skills and who can write quality content. You have nothing to worry.
I think Matt Cutts already said something about this. You might want to check this out, http://searchengineland.com/matt-cutts-stick-a-fork-in-it-guest-blogging-is-done-182147
The future of guest posting depends on the motivation behind it. If you rely on guest blogging as a way to gain links and increase the ranking, sooner or later this practice will be perceived as "spammy". If your motivation is building your reading audience while offering good content, guest posting can be very rewarding. High-quality guest bloggers can bring you exposure and benefit your branding.
if you do any link-building tactics with genuine way then it's not harmful for your website. so do anything in genuine manner. Don't do anything like promotion manner.
Yes, Of-course because each & every webmaster is using guest posting in bulk to rank at top in Google. Google will consider guest posting as spam in future. Unfortunately Webmasters who are paying for guest posts will have to remove them when Google mark guest posting as spam technique.
Guest posting is only dead if used incorrectly, like any other abused SEO. Posting on low quality, unrelated sites would be more harmful then helpful. posting on a high quality related sites can still be very much effective.... SEO is only dead for those that do not know how to use SEO properly.... they churn and burn a site, then all of a sudden seo is dead because google says so? fear mongering at its best, ROFL....
Yes, Guest posting is not dead yet. Google warning is for those who are using it for creating only backlinks and does not provide any value. Guest posting is still effective to increase your authority online.
