Selfgrowth.com - guest post opportunity or useless article site
-
Hello,
Is anyone familiar with if selfgrowth.com is safe to put an article on, or is it a useless article site?
Thanks.

It's certainly a safe site.
As with all article sites, its value has been diminished significantly. As far as article sites go, SelfGrowth is probably one of the better ones out there. I know when I've had a surplus of content on a previous site a few months back we used it. Rankings did increase, but it's not like we used SelfGrowth exclusively, so impossible to say there's correlation.
A link from there wouldn't likely hurt and might pass on a bit of 'link-juice', for lack of a better term. However, I'd only ever use it if you're overflowing with time-sensitive content that you don't have anywhere else to put. Other than that circumstance, I'd nearly always recommend doing some targeted outreach and getting your article onto a related blog in your niche.

Is healthygallbladder.com a spammy site?
Hello Moz Community! We're getting many back links with random anchor text (completely irrelevant) from a website called healthygallbladder.com and various subdomains under that domain. Has anyone else come across this website? I can't seem to load the pages at all. It always comes up with a bandwidth exceeded message.

Guest blogging for the gaming industry
Guest blogging seems to be one of the few legit linking methods left these days. My problem is that I work for a company in the gaming industry niche. All of the blogs directly connected are either spam, competitors or affiliates. I have been doing some guest blogging with connected articles on non-related blogs such as "financial advice if you win big" or a recent news story for a general blog. However, these sites are not connected and I cannot get the more quality general sites interested in these topics. Any advice for me?

What is the Optimal Guest Post Byline?
Hi Moz Community! What do you think is the optimal guest post byline or bio paragraph at the end of a guest post. Is it better to link to your homepage with your site name as anchor text AND a deep page with a target keyword phrase? Or is it better to just use one link to a deep/money page on your site with a keyword phrase?

What to do with a new good looking site?
With a new site comes new challenges. We have recently finished one of our clients websites in the Retirement (financial) field. www.retirementireland.ie In my opinion the site is looking good, fast loading(very little js, optimized images) and good SEO structuring. As being a new site i feel like the decisions taken now are crucial. If SEO is done properly could save a lot of time. If not would take us a while until we get 1-5 positions for retirement, retirement options, retirement planning, retirement ireland. Any thoughts on existing design / structure / content. Any extra suggestions are welcome.
