Guest Post Blogging And Exchanging Links
-
Hi,
I hope you are all well.
Would there be any problem with exchanging a guest blog, so two websites doing a guest post for each other and both sites linking back to each other.
I don't think this would be an issue on a small scale though I just wanted to see what everyone else thought.
Are there any other things I should bear in mind when doing this as well?
Kind Regards

Wow, thanks. Beyond the call of duty that!
Yes I did know, I recently hired a trainee in-house SEO who is talking with our web design company and sorting this out at the moment.
There is a lot to do! Though I'm asking him to concentrate on a different site which he just finished building.
Thanks again.

I see, well lesson learned there Thanks for sharing the valuable information!
I may do the same with allowing guest posts on our blog now, not that we post that many though.
-
BTW: Did you know your site is showing the same meta description tag for almost every page?
This is on the home page, contact page, about us, below market value , ect.

I ended up rebuilding on a different domain. Google loves blogs but they have been heavily abused and Google looks for it. I will not be looking for blog links any time in the near future!! It has been a headache.
We will allow guest posting on our blog, but it has to be e-commerce related and we only allow one guest post a month with one back link.
-
It varys to be honest, about 60/50 at the moment. 60% being websites with a dedicated page asking for guest posts.
I will have a quick look at their back link profile before I send them my content though.
Thanks for the warning though, really becoming clear you have to be so carful!
I hope you managed to sort it out?
-
I like the way you look at it
Thank you for you help

Are you going to be the only guest blogger for the other website, or do they allow others to guest blog as well? I learned the hard way that you don't want to place your links on spammy blogs. If every other post has links to random sites I would avoid it.

Though with a small budget it's really hard to do much else to get links..
I don't worry about links. I create lots of very good content for keywords that have modest competition. These can succeed with just a few links that will arrive naturally in the first year or two that they are on the web. The key is in creating best-on-the-web content and patiently spending your time on more content while links naturally arrive.
If you are trying to sell something, don't build an ecommerce site. Instead, build an information site with a store.

Great shout!
I will do that, thanks

Jeff,
Just one thing to point out. I would personally worry that Google would see this as reciprocal linking and knock you for the post. I would not post both posts at the same time. I would post one article and then you or the website, could wait around a week before posting the reciprical article.

You're always answering my nooby questions you legend!
Excellent, and some interesting views there.
"I don't do guest blogging myself. I think that my content is best placed on my own site." - Agreed!
Though with a small budget it's really hard to do much else to get links, without giving away all your secrets have you got any tips or suggestions of other ideas?

I don't think this would be an issue on a small scale..
I agree. On a small scale, no problem. Nothing wrong with an author sharing his work. I don't think that a few dozen of these posts would be a problem.
The only caution that I would take is to avoid keyword anchor text links and duplicate copies of your articles on other websites.
A few people give me occasional articles. Any links in those articles use their domain or the author's name as the anchor text.
I don't do guest blogging myself. I think that my content is best placed on my own site. I don't want to feed my competitors or make new ones. Most of the people who give me articles are doing it because "they have a message to get out" rather than because they are looking for a source of links.

Do links from subdomains pass the authority and link juice of main domain ?
Hi, There is a subdomain with a root domain's DA 90. I can earn a backlink from that subdomain. This subdomain is fresh with no traffic yet. Do I get the ranking boost and authority from the subdomain? Example: I can earn a do-follow link from **https://what-is-crm.netlify.app/ **but not from https://netlify.app

Malicious links on our site indexed by Google but only visible to bots
We've been suffering from some very nasty black hat seo. In Google's index, our pages show external links to various pharmaceutical websites, but our actual live pages don't show them. It seems as though only certain user-agents see the malicious links. Setting up Screaming Frog SEO crawler using the Googlebot user agent also sees the malicious links. Any idea what could have caused this or how this can be stopped? We scanned all files on our webserver and couldn't find any of malicious links. We've changed our FTP and CMS passwords, is there anything else we can do? Thanks in advance!

Do I lose link juice if I have a https site and someone links to me using http instead?
We have recently launched a https site which is getting some organic links some of which are using https and some are using http. Am I losing link juice on the ones linked using http even though I am redirecting or does Google view them the same way? As most people still use http naturally will it look strange to google if I contact anyone who has given us a link and ask them to change to https?

Links via scraped / cloned content
Just been looking at some backlinks on a site - a good proportion of them are via Scraped wikipedia links or sites with similar directories to those found on DMOZ (just they have different names). To be honest, many of these sites look pretty dodgy to me, but if they're doing illegal stuff there's absolutely no way I'll be able to get links removed. Should I just sit and watch the backlinks increase from these questionable sources, or report the sites to Google, or do something else? Advice please.

Will the links coming from an article in certain BLOG / NEWS SITE become a GOOD BackLink?
Such as, if i wrote a ymoz, and suddenly the articles is accepted, will the link to our site coming out of that Article Post increased our SEO Standing? Another example would be http://active.tutsplus.com , yesterday i have successfully pitched a tutorial idea, and they told me to write it so that they can published it , and they also promised that i will be able to put my site link (dofollow) ... But will these link be a Good BackLink that will increase our site's SEO Standing? The last one is exactly the same link , but this time coming from a News Site , such as http://teknologi.kompasiana.com/internet/2011/06/09/website-full-flash-dengan-inovasi-hebat-karya-indonesia/ , in this article (kompasiana is a very wellknown site news in Indonesia, in fact KOMPAS is the biggest newspaper firm in Indonesia) , our site is being featured , there is a link coming out of that article (DOFOLLOW), but will that link make our site much more SEO Friendly? Again please enlighten me 🙂

Too many links with the same Anchor-text?
My first question at SeoMoz: Recently my gambling site has been experimenting a subtle yo-yo effect for our most sought-after keyword. A month ago we legitimately added a PR-6 inbound link with that keyword (tragamonedas) from an institutional site of our own development. We are worried that google might have regarded that move as an illegitimate link acquisition, since those apparent troubles with our keyword appear to have started right after that link was processed. Is it too late to change the anchor text, in case that action might deliver positive results? Also, we might have focused too much on the very same keyword in our link building campaign. Can a constant repetition of the same anchor harm our indexing reputation? Thank you in advance and good SEO luck, Andi.
