          The best way to find the best opportunities is to read a ton of blogs in your industry and develop relationships with the most popular blogs in your niche by doing things like leaving thoughtful comments or engaging in conversations. The best guest post opportunities are on high authority sites that will send you significant traffic. If anyone can get an easy link from a site with minimal effort it probably has minimal SEO value. A good sign is if the articles on the site have a lot of social shares like Tweets, +1's, and Facebook Likes.

            With all of Google's reiterating lately about 'If you build content, links will come' I'd tread carefully here.  Better to create stellar, link worthy content that earns traffic on its own.  Plus, with all of the concern about passing page rank, many bloggers are moving toward nofollowing.

            Create awesome content, market cautiously, analyze what gets traffic and what doesn't.  Refine. Rinse. Repeat or Adjust accordingly to what your audience wants and needs.

            That said, myblogguest.com, is a community of guest bloggers featured by noneother than Moz, Search Engine Land and BlogHer.  Looks like it's kind of a 'dating site' for blog content.

            Good luck!

              Go for sites that have readers who are interested in your subject area. YouMoz is a great place for a case study about your marketing efforts, but submitting a post about how to close you swimming pool for the winter and what chemicals to use will get your submission deleted and your account banned -- even if it's a great post that gives information that's really helpful and has relevant links.  You're looking for a place where your content is a good match for the site.

                  seo link building blog post outreach blog post backlinks

                  We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

                  Can affiliate links benefit or hurt my seo?

                  I have just signed up with a company to do affiliate marketing for my site. I am now in the process of  reaching out to publishers and seeing who will publish my link on their site. Is there any benefit in terms of seo for having these links, and can there be any potential downside to these links as well?

                  Spammy links redirecting to homepage of site -

                  Hey guys, I'm auditing a website at the moment and Moz is showing a few spammy links linking to it. The problem is these domains are all 301 redirecting to the domain I'm auditing. Let's say I'm auditing Site A. Site B is been flagged in Moz OSE with 12 spam flags. When I try to open Site B in a browser, it redirects back to Site A. What's the best thing to do, here? Disavowing domains redirecting to the site is surely a bad idea? Cheers.

                  Hi pals, like the title says I know an author of the huffington post that will write a related article to my website and give me a genuine permanent link. But... he wants me to pay him $1000 for the link and the article. Do you think it's work it? Would YOU pay that price for a link like this??

                  Is guest posting to get links a good idea? I have the blogs to post but do not have the time to find, approach and build a relationship with bloggers to get the guest posts.  Are guest posting services a good idea and if so can anyone recommend one? Thanks

                  Can indirect linking be valuable?

                  I have a client who is using a SEO company (Hubshout, delete name if necessary) to boost traffic to their website. They are doing this by publishing articles and submitting them to article directories, then they use their own sites/blogs (which are valueless, PR and MozRank of zero) to point to these articles and they say that this helps boost there rankings. How? They are not linking to the clients websites, creating artificial links from their own websites to article directories instead of the clients website. Are they trying to boost the value of the article or trying to boost their own websites? How does this help out the client? It is similar to three way linking but is not.
