High Quality Guest Blog Swapping
-
I have tried checking out a few of the big guest blogging sites out there but every time I create a killer article the site that offers to publish it is normally some suspiciously spammy side with a low Moz score.
Does anyone know any sites where guest bloggers can link up to swap high quality blog posts. Maybe one that requires some filtering of poor quality host blogs?

Thanks for the advice guys.
I am just putting together a list of sites that I want to approach. I sent out a few test emails last night so hopefully should get some replies today!

This is (unfortunately) a big issue with blog sites. How are you attempting to find sites to publish your content? When we first started searching for blogs, we would look for the top blogs in our niche on the SERPs. We would Google terms like "top HR blogs" or "best HR blog" and then check out the results. If they are a good blog, they are going to rank well in the SERPs, so they are fairly easy to find. You can also specify your search by adding modifiers such as intitle:keyword.
Most of these sites, however, are very high quality, and don't readily accept submissions. They are still worth trying though, because if you can submit content you get a powerful, trustworthy, relevant link back to your site. From my experience it seems that posting content under a high ranking strictly <your niche="">blog is better than posting under a <your niche="">category of a bigger, more general, all-purpose blog.</your></your>
If you don't find any sites you want to and are able to contribute to, you can also use resources such as BloggerLinkUp or HelpAReporter, which try to help connect the content publishers with the writers.

Yep, that can be an issue with the guest blogging sites. Anything that's easy has a tendency to get overrun with spammers. For the most part you'll have to sift through the offers just the way you're doing.
The long hand way is to research potential publishers before you write, see which ones may accept guest posts, and then tailor your post to be worthy of that blogger's acceptance on his or her blog.

Migrating blog posts to new site
I'm in the process of setting up a new site for a client, moving them over to WordPress from Joomla. They've got 50ish blog posts on their old site, but none of them have accumulated any external links. Is it worth it to copy them over to the new site for the sake of retaining all that content, or better just to start from scratch?

How do you use a blog to help SEO.
Hi, So you launch a blog on your website, fill it with lots of great content and update weekly with more great content. From what I know your looking to gain 2 things! 1. Users linking back to your blog and 2. Sharing the content on social networks. Building up social lists on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ etc so when you do post something new you have a hub of users to help push your post by sharing it on social networks which should also help to generate more backlinks. Is this the main purpose of a blog for SEO? Would anything else apart from the above effect the SEO for the site? Maybe the freshness of content also has a positive impact! Also if your blog is picking up lots of links, for this example lets say 100 links a month and the rest of the site outside of the blog is picking up 10 a month will the blogs power of picking up links effect the rest of the sites rankings, would you need to anchor text link out of the posts in the blog to make the most out of it? Cheers

Should you guest post on a site with no quality links?
Suppose a site is related to your industry and has a relatively good domain authority of 49. However when you look at their link profile it is mostly directories and they don't seem to have any natural links from quality sites. Would you still take the link if they offered to publish your guest post?

What is the purpose of submitting your blog articles to directories?
I was wondering what the purpose of submitting your blog articles to directories are. Doesn't it require enough "points" or "+1's" for it to become a "do-follow" link? People on the forum talk about automating directory submission, can anyone recommend a good software for this? I've been hearing that Google Penalizes you for article submission because it looks like spam?
