Good guest blogging communities?
-
Besides My Blog Guest, does anyone know of any good guest blogging communities?
The aforementioned, based on my few weeks of use, seems like a great community for guest blogging. Curious if any similar sites exist.

Hi Annie,
Reports from my guys who deal with such things are that life is harder on myblogguest now. With all the low quality link peddlars looking around for alternative strategies, guest blogging is high on their list. This means that lots of them have moved to the likes of MBG - making publishers more wary.

Hi Mat,
I've just started using Myblogbuest as well and so far it seems really good at connecting Bloggers and Blog owners.
Its difficult getting hold of webmasters or trying to convince them you are not going to spam them - you just want to share content and knowledge within your industry. This site seems to be a quicker way of getting hold of blog owners.
And Greg I have tried to use LinkedIn but not had much luck here. Every one wants to talk on linkedin and push out their own content (me included) but not many people actually listening!

Hi Greg,
In my experiences, direct outreach is better long term strategy than guest blogging sites. Not even do you get access to better blogs, you get a network of people who'll help promote you on social media.
It does take some months to build outreach this way, but totally worth it.
LinkedIn groups seems like a very good idea too!

Mat, thanks again for the suggestion. I've used Linked groups for other purposes, so using it for guest blogging opportunities seems like a good idea.

Not pushed it to be honest. We tend to now favour direct outreach. However look for a group called "the blog zone" - they have a guest blogging sub group. Quality level there is pretty good, but I wouldn't steam in with a "content for links" angle.

Thanks for the suggestions, Mat. Have you had any success with doing this in LinkedIn groups?

Myblogguest seems to be the stand out community for this. I haven't been able to find anything directly comparable myself. However, here are a few similar services (or at ones that overlap in some way). Quality varies... in truth some of these are quite spammy, but it's still good to know what is out there:
- http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/
- http://www.blogsynergy.com/
- http://guestbloggingnetwork.com/
- http://www.webtrafficcontrol.com/
- http://www.linknami.com/guest-post/
Also linked in has a couple of good groups for bloggers that can serve a similar function.

Some questions about guest posting
After reading this on the SEOMoz blog, I've decided to try some guest posting to gain some backlinks for our real estate site. I have a few questions for those of you who do this regularly: 1. If the site you are posting on allows up to 3 links in the signature box, do you generally use them all? My gut instinct is that one anchor texted link would give me the most bang for my buck. 3. How much attention do you pay to PR or DA? If a site is PR1 but relevant to your niche would you spend the time to write the article? 4. What negatives have you found when writing guest posts? Thanks!

What are some good easy links to get for new sites?
We are in the process of launching a couple of new sites and while we know it will be a long process to get them to rank, achieving some long-tail keywords would be beneficial. What sites would you recommend for getting some easy links to start with that can help the indexation and ranking process along in the preliminary stages? Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?
