Hello and Happy New Year! Plenty of sites label their guest posts "guest post" and repeat the term all over on their pages, so they do in the titles, headings and anchor texts. I reckon this is quite bad for SEO, flashy, unnatural. It's like screaming "links" or "partner sites". Personally, I don't like to obtain guest posts that are labeled as such. I suppose Google will (it it's not already) penalizing links arriving from those kinds of pages. This makes me remember the times when they started penalizing, even banning the "links" and "link exchange" pages. How about you? Would you list your articles on such sites/pages?
The best way to guest post is to contact the desired blog owners and persuade them to publish your guest posts. Explain the benefits and exposures they might get by publishing your high quality blog post on their website/blog.
hi guys , Its important to post guest posting chose the right blog after get contact with blog owner.
well @Mr.Dog, you are right, it is quite a risky process but we actually have no option. If i talk about myself yes, I use to list articles on such sites and pages.
Yeah, I am sure the blog owner does it to alert readers it's a type of sponsored story, but it makes it that much easier for Google to sniff it out and discount any potential benefit you would have gained from the link.
Well, I think guest post is the best way to build quality back link to your targeting sites. The thing you have to keep in mind while doing guest posts, that in which site or blog you posting your article should be related to your website niche. And should have page rank minimum 2, where you posting guest post.
Currently I'm not bothering much with PageRank and I think I'd avoid posts containing "guest post" in title or anchors pointing to them or any prominent position on the host sites. It's sort of like "resources" or "link exchange" back several years ago - which Google simply filtered out.
I think having posts labeled 'guest post' isn't too bad, as long as: 1) It isn't the only source of your backlinks. 2) The posts are VERY high quality and relevant. 3) The posts are on a VERY high quality, relevant site. 4) The posts are not paid/sponsored or marked as such I'd also suggest using your Google authorship claim and think more about becoming a regular contributor to a select few HIGH quality sites than trying to mass-submit to lots of mediocre sites. Think about raising your industry authority and profile and not just 'links'...
Hey, the guys at Moz actually just released a video today talking precisely about this. Watch it here, I guess they know what they're talking about!
I was thinking the same when I read the replies below your post... Really strange! Now! To the topic directly: It's normal to build with your keywords... But I read 2 different articles about this "problem" a few days ago... The result is that you build a QUALITY backlink via a term that is NOT related to your niche... But the link juice still go to your website, so it's useful. But I would use this if ONLY you receive A LOT of backlinks from the same website...
I see that so often! Some post without reading or thinking about the subject. I would personally avoid the mentioned guest posts. Would only require totally natural ones on reputable sites that also generate traffic via those links. And, I'd try to make the posts as diverse and as deep as possible, would post on as many sites as possible! And... wouldn't forget about all the other sources of traffic. With lots of guest posts, you can build a social media network much easier. And then keep feeding your fans, which could propagate to others.
