Those that know me personally know that for better or for worse, my mind is incredibly mathematic and scientific; I approach my professional and personal life with a careful, calculating mindset. At the start of the New Year, like many others, I made some resolutions of both the personal and private nature. Like most things in my life, I test, take samples, and of course, analyze all of my resolutions. Today, I am pleased to announce that the first sample test for a professional resolution has recently finished, and I would love to share the results with all of you.
I am in Inbound Marketer, an abuser of the term SEO, and a passionate contact creator. Whilst I am in the camp of “any SEO that says X variable is KING for SERP success” is full of it, I do believe in honest engagement and superior content. However, I had been plateauing in my guest posting efforts near the end of 2011, and I decided that instead of approaching blogging with an analytical mindset; (Domain Authority, Keyword Density, Professional Voice) I would attempt to “humanize” my writing by being accessible at all times, writing in a more casual or even passive voice, and getting inspiration from my esteemed peers. read more…
I don’t know why but when I write or just think about guest blogging not intentionally I compare it with some off-line things, activities, etc. Well, at least in many cases.
This time my choice was made for snowballs.
The idea is the following: It you take a cupped hand of snow it won’t go far from you nor will it reach one of your objects. Well, it might cover you with a snow dust though.
But if you make your snowball properly, it will have a lot more chances to reach the target.
And now how I associate it with guest blogging? The better your guest post is (the higher quality content it provides and the more thoroughly targeted you make it), the more chance you have to achieve your goals.
So, thank you all for throwing your ‘snowballs’ away with MyBlogGuest in December, 2011 and enjoy! read more…

Happy Holidays! This is our third Christmas (and only the second year) together, so we are still so young and pretty much excited.
These have been awesome two years of entrepreneurship, trial-and-error and hard work. It’s been a huge experience for all of us as well.
We are thankful to our users because our guest blogging community would have never happened without you. Thanks and have a great time over the upcoming Holidays! Meet you next year! read more…
There was once a time when getting your writing published was a difficult affair. While you could always hand it out on the streets, to actually be published in a real book, magazine, or newspaper required a submission process, approval, editing, and eventual publication.
In the 21st century, anyone can publish anything relatively easily. Self-publishing, especially online, is quite popular. Millions of people publish their writing on blogs, social networking sites, and other websites, and a good number of them never receive a penny for their work. read more…
It will never stop amazing me: our members are just awesome! They are doing a much better job than anyone from our team promoting our guest blogging platform!

Here’s an awesome, very thorough piece on how to maximize guest blogging results with our community and another great one on how to distribute your articles to high-quality websites with MyBlogGuest (the author is also kindly sharing the statistics and personal results!).
I am even more amazed by the great video reviews coming from our members! We have never expected our users to be so kind and we highly appreciate it! I have shared one very professionally done video review of MyBlogGuest previously.
***This week another one has arrived through my Google Alerts: Get Free Content From Other Bloggers For Your WordPress Website – a very detailed, very personal video which is sure to help our newest members to get the whole idea of what they are joining!

This month we invented two more categories into the Articles Gallery.
But the most important thing we can be proud of is that we officially announced the launch of our Russian version of MyBlogGuest – MyBlogGuest.ru
Our team feels really excited about it. Of course there is a lot of work to do as the project is new, and it requires much attention from our side – like a little baby.
But I hope that very soon there will be a Russian variant of a monthly guest posts roundup as well. For now another English one (sorry for being late bit – the reason is mentioned above). read more…
I have always been looking for more and more ways to explain to our guest authors how to create a really great guest post which will receive a lot of placement offers to choose from.
One of my recent attempts was a “Articles Gallery Checklist” that requires a guest author to check all the items before publishing a guest post to the Articles Gallery.
Here’s the copy of the checklist: read more…
We had to deal with one very serious issue in October: content theft. We thought we were pretty much secure but it appears we do need to develop some more options to protect our members.
Well, as they say, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, so each issue we have to deal with makes us even better!
Today’s roundup is the proof: here are guest posts which have been placed and shared through our community since September: read more…
