      Hello All,

      I'm looking to perform a 'Standard' guest blog post link building tactic, but i'm a little unsure as where to start.

      Does anybody have a list/ guide to websites that accept guest posts?

      Preferably ones that are useful for SEO purposes, I have been link building for about 3 months now, but to be honest, most of these links are NoFollow, which isn't too great!

        www.myblogguest.com I've found is decent for getting good backlinks from guest blogs.  However, the guest blog post has got to be to a decent standard to get accepted.  It goes into a list of posts for selected.  There's another one called blogger link up which is a kind of dating service for guest blog posts and publishers 😉

          Hi,

          http://myblogguest.com/ is a good site for you to find blogs that are willing to accept guest blogs.  You have to sign up for an account and it is a community where people request for blogs to post on or request for posts for their blog.  It is 100% free and join the comunity to find a blog that you think fits your niche and message the blog owners to see if they want to post your article.

          hope this helps!

            Great answer above me, so I'd only add another resource to finding guest post opportunities.

            Stoked SEO's link building query generator utilises all the different google search terms you can use to also find posting opportunities.

            Don't forget to look at related blogs on sites like Technorati as well, and approach them through their contact forms.

              _Again I would like to say that your approach toward guest blogging is not correct. Guest blogging is not a hit and run thing. Do not be in such rush to get articles published in sites that accept guest posts. And who said that no-followed links do not add any value? You should not believe Google all the time 😉

              Take it this way. You need to treat it as a way to promote your brand. So hire the best writer and prepare a killer content or you can hire a professional graphic designer and create a killer infographic whatever it suits your purpose._

              And I do not wish to play wise here. So, here is the ultimate resource:

                Ogranization Schema/Microformat for a content/brand website | Travel

                Hi, One of our clients have a website specific to a place, for eg. California Tourism in which they publish local information related to tourism, blogs & other useful content. I want to understand how useful is to publish Organization Schema on such website mentioning the actual Organization, which in this case is a Travel Agency? Or any other schema would fit in for such websites?

                Uppercase/Lowercase Reading As Duplicate Permalinks

                I cannot figure out if this is an actual SEO issue or just a crawl reader error. I use Screaming Frog to crawl my site and use their SEO features. When I look at page titles and duplicates it shows all our pages twice... some with 1 letter capitalized and the other not. I don't REALLY have duplicate permalinks do I? I also noticed when I use some open site explorers and paste in both permalinks the specs will show for the permalink that's all lowercase but it won't find anything for the "duplicate" permalink that is capitalized. Below I included a few screenshots. Thank you Moz Fam! Q6866xZNUfpF cxXacVajCBGb

                [Very Urgent] More 100 "/search/adult-site-keywords" Crawl errors under Search Console

                I just opened my G Search Console and was shocked to see more than 150 Not Found errors under Crawl errors. Mine is a Wordpress site (it's consistently updated too): Here's how they show up: Example 1: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html/feed/rss2 Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html Example 2 (this surprised me the most when I looked at the linked from data): URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/3/ Linked From: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/2/ (this is showing as if it's from our own site) http://a-spammy-adult-site.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html Example 3: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html How do I address this issue?

                Hi Moz community, I have got a wordpress blog currently in the spanish language. I want to create the same blog content but in english version.

Any examples? Thanks

                Moving blog to a subdomain, how can I help it rank?

                Hi all, We recently moved our blog to a sub-domain where it is hosted on Wordpress. It was very recent and we're actively working on the SEO, but any pointers on getting the subdomain to rank higher than the old blog posts would be terrific. Thanks!

                Using both dofollow & nofollow links within the same blog site (but different post).

                Hi all, I have been actively pursuing bloggers for my site in order to build page rank. My website sells women undergarments that are more on the exotic end. I noticed a large amount of prospective bloggers demand product samples. As already confirm, bloggers that are given "free" samples should use a rel=no follow attribute in their links. Unfortunately this does not build my page rank or transfer links juice. My question is this: is it advisable for them to also blog additional posts and include dofollow links? The idea is for the blogger to use a nofollow when posting about the sample and a regular link for a secondary post at a later time. What are you thoughts concerning this matter?

                /%category%/%postname%/ Permalink structure

                Mostly everyone seems to agree that /%category%/%postname%/ is the best blog structure. I'm thinking of changing my structure to that because now it's structured by date which is bad. But almost all of my posts are assigned to more than one category. Won't this create duplicate pages?

                Posing QU's on Google Variables "aclk", "gclid" "cd", "/aclk" "/search", "/url" etc

                I've been doing a bit of stats research prompted by read the recent ranking blog http://www.seomoz.org/blog/gettings-rankings-into-ga-using-custom-variables There are a few things that have come up in my research that I'd like to clear up. The below analysis has been done on my "conversions". 1/. What does "/aclk" mean in the Referrer URL? I have noticed a strong correlation between this and "gclid" in the landing page variable. Does it mean "ad click" ?? Although they seem to "closely" correlate they don't exactly, so when I have /aclk in the referrer Url MOSTLY I have gclid in the landing page URL. BUT not always, and the same applies vice versa. It's pretty vital that I know what is the best way to monitor adwords PPC, so what is the best variable to go on? - Currently I am using "gclid", but I have about 25% extra referral URL's with /aclk in that dont have "gclid" in - so am I underestimating my number of PPC conversions? 2/. The use of the variable "cd" is great, but it is not always present. I have noticed that 99% of my google "Referrer URL's" either start with:
                /aclk   - No cd value
                /search - No cd value
                /url - Always contains the cd variable. What do I make of this?? Thanks for the help in advance!
