      Hello All,

      I'm looking to perform a 'Standard' guest blog post link building tactic, but i'm a little unsure as where to start.

      Does anybody have a list/ guide to websites that accept guest posts?

      Preferably ones that are useful for SEO purposes, I have been link building for about 3 months now, but to be honest, most of these links are NoFollow, which isn't too great!

        www.myblogguest.com I've found is decent for getting good backlinks from guest blogs.  However, the guest blog post has got to be to a decent standard to get accepted.  It goes into a list of posts for selected.  There's another one called blogger link up which is a kind of dating service for guest blog posts and publishers 😉

          Hi,

          http://myblogguest.com/ is a good site for you to find blogs that are willing to accept guest blogs.  You have to sign up for an account and it is a community where people request for blogs to post on or request for posts for their blog.  It is 100% free and join the comunity to find a blog that you think fits your niche and message the blog owners to see if they want to post your article.

          hope this helps!

            Great answer above me, so I'd only add another resource to finding guest post opportunities.

            Stoked SEO's link building query generator utilises all the different google search terms you can use to also find posting opportunities.

            Don't forget to look at related blogs on sites like Technorati as well, and approach them through their contact forms.

              _Again I would like to say that your approach toward guest blogging is not correct. Guest blogging is not a hit and run thing. Do not be in such rush to get articles published in sites that accept guest posts. And who said that no-followed links do not add any value? You should not believe Google all the time 😉

              Take it this way. You need to treat it as a way to promote your brand. So hire the best writer and prepare a killer content or you can hire a professional graphic designer and create a killer infographic whatever it suits your purpose._

              And I do not wish to play wise here. So, here is the ultimate resource:

                What does Disallow: /french-wines/?* actually do - robots.txt

                Hello Mozzers - Just wondering what this robots.txt instruction means: Disallow: /french-wines/?* Does it stop Googlebot crawling and indexing URLs in that "French Wines" folder - specifically the URLs that include a question mark? Would it stop the crawling of deeper folders - e.g. /french-wines/rhone-region/ that include a question mark in their URL? I think this has been done to block URLs containing query strings. Thanks, Luke

                Republishing blog content on LinkedIn and Medium

                Hi Mozzers, I'm thinking republishing content from my own website's blog on platforms like LinkedIn and Medium. These sites are able to reach a far bigger (relevant) audience than I can through my own website, so there's strategic reasoning for doing this. However, with SEO being a key activity on my own website, I don't want to be at risk of any penalties for duplicate content. However, I've just read this on Search Engine Journal: "there is confirmation from Google... Gary Illyes has stated that republishing articles won’t cause a penalty, and that it’s simply a filter they use when evaluating sites. Most sites are only penalized for duplicate content if the site is 100% copied content." So, what do people think - is republishing blog content, on LinkedIn and Medium safe? And is it a sound tactic to increase reach?

                [Very Urgent] More 100 "/search/adult-site-keywords" Crawl errors under Search Console

                I just opened my G Search Console and was shocked to see more than 150 Not Found errors under Crawl errors. Mine is a Wordpress site (it's consistently updated too): Here's how they show up: Example 1: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html/feed/rss2 Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword/page2.html Example 2 (this surprised me the most when I looked at the linked from data): URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/3/ Linked From: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html/page/2/ (this is showing as if it's from our own site) http://a-spammy-adult-site.com/search/adult-site-keyword-2.html Example 3: URL: www.example.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html Linked From: http://an-adult-image-hosting.com/search/adult-site-keyword-3.html How do I address this issue?

                Ending URLs in .html versus /

                Hi there! Currently all the URLs on my website, even the home page, end it .html, such as http://www,consumerbase.com/index.html Is this bad?
                Is there any benefit to this? Should I remove it and just have them end with a forward slash?
                If I 301 redirect the old .html URLs to the forward slash URLs, will I lose PA? Thanks!
