How to promote my guest blog posts?
-
I have been using mybloguest.com and the articles were published by its blogs/websites.
So far the traffics/share/likes from those blog posts they published are very few/small.
I believe the blog post are very useful and unique. How can I promote them so that I get more social likes/share? Any idea?
Thanks
Stephen

I will try the approaches you guys mentioned. But I've got another question as I want to measure how successful my effort:
when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it.
I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely.
On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks would this still become a successful article/link marketing?

Thanks for your response and it's inspiring. Looks like it's not straight forward but I will try it

The answers you've been given are completely right and offer the right advice for your future guest posting.
However, in terms of your current situation and the blog posts you have already acquired. There are a few things you can do to promote those in order to gain more shares/likes/+1s.
First, you should make use of the advertising options with both Twitter and Facebook. You will find that paying for a promoted post/tweet could gain more exposure and certainly more targeted exposure than just posting to your own followers.
Also, you will need to think about the time of day/week you are promoting the posts on social media. For example, on Twitter, your followers may well be more active on the weekend after dinner time. If you are promoting your posts on a Monday morning, it may be unlikely to reach a captive audience.
You could also use blog comments from related blog posts to direct readers to your article. Obviously I'm not talking about spamming blogs with links to the post, but more trying to encourage readers of more established blogs to perhaps check out your article that may be of interest.
Hope this helps,
Adam.

You might look into getting your content published on a higher quality and higher trafficked site than most of those found on MBG. Find the authority blogs in the niche and try some manual outreach.

What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website
Hi All, What Should be the URL of third party blog for my website. Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com? Which URL would be the best as per Google's guidelines. Note: I have already have a blog within the domain as xyz.com/blog/ and i do weekly posting on this blog. But at the same time i want to create 1-2 third party blogs to get some backlinks from other sources.

Dead/Broken links on old blogs
Hi We are currently trying to update our blog page on our website but quickly realized there are numerous dead or broken 404 links after clicking on anchor text from past blog posts. Our blog is set up in WordPress and we recently installed an SEO plug in with it. Some of these anchor texts don't actually need links and I want to unlink them, is there a simple way to do this on WordPress? Other anchor text I would like to "301 redirect" to another page. Can i do this on WordPress or is this something my SEO plugin should be able to fix? Answers are much appreciated! Thanks

Good alternative to guest blogging
Hi, After many years of on-page I've just started in the world of link building and I'm currently working on an e-commerce website. I've noticed that most blogs devoted to this sector that are worth their salt will only accept guest blog requests for payment. So here's the question, is there any way to circumvent this? Is there any other way to achieve the same results I would with guest blogging without having to pay for it? Thanks in advance

Guest blogging on a "network" of sites. Good or BAD?
Hi guys! We have the opportunity to guest blog on a network of sites. Basically, this is a syndicated network of sports blogs (around 200) that all link to each other. They own and operate a blog for each major sports franchise. They each average a DA around 60, but almost all of their link equity comes from blogs they own and operate.... My question is this, should we take the opportunity to create editorial content with links back to our site. This would not be paid side or footer links, but real content relevant to their blog and our industry. On a side note; All of these site have a very decent DA and show up well in Google... Thanks for any advice!!!

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.
