How to determine a web site is a high quality guest blogging web site?
-
Hi,
I would like to do guest blogging on the quality web sites, the problem is how can I decide they are good quality web sites?
for example:
1)ehow.com
all of the above are PR 4 or higher.
Thanks
Derek

I'd look at what is posted on those sites. Are they posting quality information? Is the information relevant to your topic? Do their guidelines mention any quality control process?

Keri/DragonSearch,
Thanks for the information. I have two purpose to do the guest blogging in these web sites:
-
Get some traffic from these sites: for example, ehow has an alexa index of 323, there are lots of traffic there. I hope people read the article may also click on my backlink.
-
I hope there are some SEO benefit from these web sites, but I am not sure. in the past, most of article directories don't control the article quality and got punished by Google. Later some of the article directories clean it up and add quality control, I think those article directories which add quality control may have some SEO effort, but I don't know which article directories. hope somebody can point it out.
Thanks

I agree with Keri. Why not looking for some guest blogging opportunities. Try this out - do the following search in Google:
[subject of choice] + intitle:"write for us" or [subject of choice] + intitle:"guest post"
For example, if I was looking to write on recycling I would do the following search:
recycling + intitle:"write for us"
With a little digging some great opportunities should pop up! ^Caitlin

I honestly wouldn't go for any of them. If I were going to post on a site other than my own site, I'd look for something in my field where there would be visitors that are actually interested in my niche. Do it for the readers, not for the search engines.
Would you go to one of the above sites on your own if you were not guest posting there? If one of the above sites got hit in an algorithm update, or chose to nofollow their links, would you still want the post there?

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.

More guest blogging penalties coming?
Does anyone foresee any future guest blogging penalties coming from google if the guest blogs are high quality blogs? I'm wondering if a future google update is going to hit even more sites that have used guest blogging as guest blogging continues to grow. I like guest blogging to drive traffic to my site but am scared to used it for fear of future updates in the algorithm. Thanks mozzers!

Why does Open Site Explorer list SEOMOZ forum links so high ?
When I was checking my back links in Open Sight Explorer I was surprised to see that because I have asked three questions recently here on the forum about my business website www.endeavourcottage.co.uk and they are now listed near the position 3 to 5 Of course I was not putting my business website link on their with the motivation of gaining some SEO benefits but when you get these no follow links do they have any usefulness in that direction? I read that say no follow links have no link juice so is any beneficial aspects? I It wouldn't be the ideal situation to encourage that kind of activity, but if they have no value at all why does Open Site Explorer list them? seo.JPG

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -

Linkbuilding TO Your Guest Blog Post?
Hypothetical situation: You write a guest blog post for a popular blog about your niche topic. The post is a hit and sends you visitors, leads, and social media followers. Would you consider running a linkbuilding campaign to the blog post in order to help it rank better for its target keyword(s), given that the post has proven to convert successfully, despite the fact that the post is on a domain other than your own?

Is there way to identify all back links throughout a site or do I have to check one site page at a time? Thanks!
Sorry if it is obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like to be able to run a report that will list all of the back links on every page of my site.

How to target keywords on a new site?
I have a site I launched a few months back, and the niche isn't all that competitive. After a bit of work the domain is now sitting near the bottom of page 2 on google but it's number 2 in yahoo search. I have been manually building the links but they are all targeted to just one keyword, and mainly have the same link text. Will this look suspicious to google, and should I be spreading my anchor text over different keywords? Or is the reason Im ranking so well in yahoo be because they are just picking up more backlinks? 23 from yahoo but only 9 from google.
