Since we are an active community, we have lots of email notifications aimed at keeping you updated.

1. We have various kinds of newsletter types (You can unsubscribe from any of it. See more information on this here)
2. We have several ways other users can get in touch with you and you’ll be emailed each time (You can’t unsubsribe from those because the ground rule of our community is that we MUST reply to each other, so those notifications are used to make sure you get back to other members of this community). These types of notifications are:

• New public replies to your forum threads
• New PMs or forum email

Please notice the little badge to the left of your screen. It shows your next steps. Most of those steps (except the avatar) require a single click, so don’t worry, completing the checklist is easy. It was created to give you a quick guide around the site.

For deeper look, you may want to subscribe to our 5-day course (the very last option on your checklist). But that’s totally up to you!

Permalink.

Before you can private message to other users, we want to make sure you know how things work and which rules we want our members to follow. So please take just a few minutes to browse around and upload your avatar before moving forward.

Here’s how to complete your checklist

Permalink.

MyBlogGuest.com is a community of bloggers who are interested in writing or publishing guest posts. Some members do both. The best way to start here is to browse through the forums and see what others do. You will quickly understand the process: members introduce themselves in the Welcome board, then they go either to “Looking for guests” or “Looking for blogs” forums, look through existing offers and create their own threads announcing what they have to offer.

Permalink.

The fastest way to find guest articles is the Articles Gallery. Just browse the gallery by category and tags, preview articles, read the description, look at the images and offer your blog to publish any for free.

To apply for publishing any article for free:

• Hover over it and click “Offer”,
• Choose your blog in the drop-down (if you have many);
• Add some details about your blog, specific requirements, etc

Here’s a detailed video explaining the process:

Permalink.

When a user creates a forum announcement (thread) saying he/she is looking for guests, it’s probably not really polite to join that thread and post “me too” type of message.

This is called “hijacking”: when you steal referrals from the original poster.

For any announcement of yours, please create and promote your own thread.

Permalink.

We want to keep the forum organized. It doesn’t make sense when you create several threads for one and the same site or to make the same announcement.

Instead of creating multiple threads, better make the most of your current one by updating it often:

• Post replies each time a new guest post is published (this will bump your whole thread on top);
• Post replies each time you have a major announcement or update (again, this will bump it).

This way you’ll generate much more interest than by creating multiple poorly-visited threads with low interaction

Permalink.

Before contacting other members using MyBlogGuest, please complete your profile (not to be considered a random spammer) and make sure you follow these commonsense rules:

1. Make sure your message is relevant

For various reasons (including obvious abuse) we ask our members to only pitch each other with *guest-blogging* related questions. Exceptions can be any personal chats, jokes, anything that has nothing to do with marketing or promotion.

Please don’t contact each other privately for self-promotion purposes (advertising your services) or for marketing / link building help (offering link exchange, link sales, social media promotion, etc).

We want our members to be free from any irrelevant pitches. If you get to know any other member well enough to discuss other ways to cooperate (provided you are both interested), please take this conversation outside MyBlogGuest

So before contacting any MyBlogGuest member, please, make sure:

• Your question is guest blogging related;
• The person you are about to contact must be interested in your message (i.e. that person explicitly expressed the interest using the public forum)

We don’t want you to feel your freedom is limited – but please mind that what seems pretty innocent to you may be considered as abusive and irrelevant spam to others. So let’s all follow generic common sense rules of conduct to avoid any unexpected issues. We are here to build contacts, not to ruin them!

2. Your message is personalized

Please don’t email or PM saying you want to guest post (or you are looking for a guest author), mention:

• The user’s name
• Your topic
• Why you think the user will be interested (mention his / her thread or article that made you contact)

Please read about our contacting rules and options here.

Permalink.

There are several ways to contact other members of our community. First, please make sure you have a good reason to contact anyone though.

Forum PM

PM (short for “Private Message”): You’ll get a reply to your MyBlogGuest inbox and all the correspondence will be kept there

TIP! Use our free built-in “Follow-up reminder” (works only for option one, i.e. PMs): It will only remind you to follow-up if your initial PM remains unanswered. That’s a great way to scale the whole contact management process:

Besides having the built-in follow-up reminder, our PM system will help you figure if your message was read or missed:

• See your Outbox (hover over the icon next to your outgoing message to see if the person even opened your message)

If you PM is read but not answered, that user must be not interested. Alternatively, if the user hasn’t logged for some time, he might be on vacation or just offline for some reason (In this case, PM him /her again but move the follow-up reminder one week later or more).

Forum email (external)

This will go to the user’s email inbox outside MyBlogGuest. It’s harder for us to track because, once sent, we lose track of it.

Social profiles (external)

Vising any user’s MyBlogGuest profile, please check if there are any social links shared on it. You can use those links to try and contact the user outside MyBlogGuest via your common network (like Twitter, Facebook, etc).

Permalink.

The user power is meant to show how active each user is throughout major social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, Google Plus and Pinterest. Remember that members can arrange to help promote each other’s guest posts, that’s why this metric is so important.

The blog power is based on its Google PR, SEOmoz rank and number of pages indexed by Google

These ratings are to be used for information. Don’t base your judgements on the site quality using our ratings. Instead, make sure to visit each site and browse it a lot before you can tell if you like it or not. Guest blogging is about social interaction, not numbers.

Permalink.

The first thing to do is to visit the user’s profile and see how much time has passed since the user logged in.

We are all human beings here. We can get ill, go traveling, have personal or business issues. If you see that the user hasn’t logged in for quite some time, it might be a smart idea to contact him outside MyBlogGuest (via forum email or social media networks)

If the user is logging in but not replying, he must be simply not interested. Just move on

If hearing back is very important for you, please report the user and we’ll try as well.

Permalink.

If you have any issues with any of the users, please use the red “Report” link below his avatar on his profile page to let the team look into the issue.

Please provide as much detail as you can: the link of the problematic article or thread, your reasons, dates, anything that might help us figure and settle the problem faster.

Permalink.

MyBlogGuest is just a platform. It is not a tool or a service. To get any benefit, you need to commit: to post at forums, help others and “socialize”. Like any community it will only help active users who are ready to devote time to make friends and contacts.

Permalink.

Please visit your “Subscriptions” folder and go from folder to folder to see what you are subscribed.

Here’s more info on this option.

Permalink.

1. Please go PRO
2. Read our quality standards and rules (here’s the video version)
3. Go to My Articles -> Submit new
4. Add your title, meta description and tags (tags will help mods promote your article)
5. Select the closest category (please avoid “General” category)
6. Add a byline with your links (please copy-paste URLs right from the browser address bar to make sure they are working)
7. Hit “Publish” and double-check is you have followed all our rules

Permalink.

• Make sure your article is in-line with our checklist (please also add images)
• Post in this thread to request content ideas for more offers. Here are some example of great guest posts we host here
• Make sure your links look natural
• Ask us to share it by contacting mods AT myblogguest.com (Please make sure you do the three steps above first)
• Learn indepth tricks by following our #myblogguest Twitter chats every Thursday (here are the recaps with lots of tips)

Permalink.

MyBlogGuest direct works as follows:

• Upload a great guest post to our gallery;
• (In case no great offers seem to be coming in), use the internal search feature to send that article to a chosen blog;
• Wait for a couple of days to see the article published.

Here’s the whole process visualized by our user:

Permalink.

• Check basic stats: hover over on the site to see its Google PR, MozRank and number of pages indexed in Google. Again, take a quick note but move further.
• Browse the site to see if there’s any activity on it: comments, tweets, shares.
  • If there are not social media count buttons to see if the pages are shared, try one of these tools.
  • Check for obvious signs of low-quality dropped / expired domains: absent or poorly-written (“default”) “About” pages.
  • Check for obviously-paid links: Dirty anchor text in the sidebar or footer.
  • Check for unmoderated comments: Good bloggers always moderate and reply to comments.
• Follow your own “gut” feeling: If the blog theme fresh / unique? Are there only *guest* articles published or is it also maintained by the owner as well? Do you like the content?
• Check MyBlogGuest history of the user: The blog owner’s user ratings and forum activity as well as his social media profiles.

Remember:

Don’t ignore newer sites with great potential (growing community). It’s easier to stand out and get noticed when you enter a new but already vibrant community.

>>>Every huge site was once a tiny newbie and I am sure they still remember and appreciate their very first contributors!

NOTES are located in the right-most column of the gallery. Notes can be private (visible to the author and mods) and public (visible to all the users).

Tips for using notes as the author:

• [Required] Use public notes to describe your in-body self-serving link (if you have any). Please read about natural *in-body* linking here: http://myblogguest.com/blog/1490
• [Required] Use public notes to describe your image license and credit. You are only allowed to use Creative Commons, Royalty Free or your own images. See tips and resources here. Example: “Royalty-free image inside. Source: http://bit.ly/Q29Jlg” This is very important because this way publishers will know for sure they can safely use your images!
• [Encouraged] Use public notes when you want to get more attention to your articles. (Example: “Lost of awesome images inside.”)

Permalink.

We use the built-in feature called Tracker (we have it as a standalone tool as well): It regularly goes through your articles to ensure:

• The article is live
• The links in it are there
• The links in your guest post have no nofollow

In case any major change has been made, you’ll receive an email and PM asking you to review the article and, if needed, report the issue to the support team.

Try to contact the publisher first as most of the errors that happen are pure misunderstanding and it’s easy to settle them.

Feel free to seek our team’s help if:

• The publisher hasn’t replied to you for three business days;
• The publisher is obviously missing out of action (judging on the last login date)
• The publisher has obviously done something greyish (example: stole your article and published it on another blog without the credit). We want to be very fast to react to those serious cases like that to avoid further damage.

What if Your Article Seems Fine?

If you visited the guest post and haven’t found anything wrong with it, go to your “Published (Completed)” folder and locate that article. By hovering over the (!) sign, you’ll see the reason why the machine thought there was anything wrong with the article:

If you still think your article is fine, click “Re-check automatically”. This will prompt the machine to check the article again:

If the machine still insists there’s something wrong (this may happen with certain designs and layouts that prevent our scraper from viewing the page properly), click “Approve manually”

As a publisher, you can offer your blog to any article in the gallery for free (all articles are completely free of charge).

However to upload your own articles to the gallery, you need to GO PRO

We verify the ownership of each blog being added to our system to protect our guest authors from any possible fraud. You must verify your site before being able to offer your site to publish guest posts from our Articles Gallery.

Verifying is very easy and we are very flexible and helpful. Choose ONE:

• Meta tag verification: Please copy-paste the generated code in your header file (anywhere before closing </head> tag) and save the file. Once done, please click “Verify” button below. Once verified, feel free to remove the code.
• Email verification: Please create an email address at your domain (if you haven’t already). For example, info@yourdomai.com, me@yourdomain.com, etc. Then provide this email address in the form and we’ll send you the verification email containing further instructions.
• Manual verification: Please create any screenshot that could verify your ownership of the current site (for example, Google Analytics Dashboard screenshot, WordPress Dashboard screenshot) and email the screenshot to verify AT myblogguest.com (please use the word “Verify” in the subject of the email).
