Early Summer Guest Posts, Round-up, Part 2

Category Round-ups Posted by

And we are still catching up listing our most awesome guest posts for this summer.

Unlike our team (we are either already on vacation or going to one of these days), our users seem to need no rest! They are writing and publishing like crazy – which is a good thing of course because that’s what we are up to!

Anyway, here’s another June round-up from Sana – almost right from her vacation!

A lot of new players this time! Read more »

July PUSH: Celebrating *Natural* Links

Category #MyBlogGuest Twitter Chat Posted by

Guest Post Push Thursday - MyBlogGuest Twitter chat

This week’s PUSH was not on the last Thursday if July simply because Twitter was down last THUR 🙂

Last week we were talking about natural in-body links. Today’s PUSH chat is the collection of articles using very natural way to link.

Now, we don’t say you should not use bylines. Bylines are huge for author rank and brand building.

However, since most of our users like to self-link from the body, let’s at least see how to do that properly.

(Some of those articles were mentioned during our previous chats but since this PUSH is thematic, we have included them again) Read more »

What is a *Natural* In-Body Link #MyBlogGuest

Category #MyBlogGuest Twitter Chat Posted by

Join MyBlogGuest Twitter chat!No matter how busy I tend to be, I make it a rule to check out our Articles Gallery at least daily. I browse though new authors’ submissions, invite them to contact me for content ideas or try to explain where they can improve.

No matter how much we say that guest authors should be very modest about their linking (in order to get a better offer and look natural to Google), most people would still put too much emphasis on their links.

OK, you want to link. We respect that and understand that might be your main objective behind guest blogging.

But please, if you want to link, make your links at least natural and good looking.

We are not about non-sense link dropping here. Each link should make sense.

That’s especially true when it comes to in-body (non-byline) link. Read more »

How Long Does it Take to Reach Top 100k Alexa Ranking?

Category Success Stories Posted by

Our winter contest winner Kiesha of We Blog Better is here to share her newest creation: her book for bloggers called 10-Week Gameplan for a Top 100k Blog. It’s a must-read for any blogger who is serious to succeed!

What if I told you it was possible to do it in 10 weeks?  Would you believe that?

If I hadn’t watched it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it, either.

During last year’s Surviving the Blog contest, I watched the contestants take a blog from set up to 96,121 in 10 weeks all as a result of successfully completing the various challenges they were charged with throughout the contest.

Their results were astonishing, but if they could do it, anyone could.

Are you a new or struggling blogger?

This book was created with you in mind!  This book will teach you how to prioritize your time and focus on what’s most important.

You can stop clicking from site to site; from program to program and begin to focus on the tasks that will help you accomplish your goals.

That’s the goal of 10-Week Gameplan for a Top 100k Blog:  to take the guess work out of blogging and to point bloggers in the right direction to strategies that work.

HOW TO: Evaluate a Blog Before Guest Posting There #MyBlogGuest

Category #MyBlogGuest Twitter Chat Posted by

Join MyBlogGuest Twitter chat!It has always been a very popular question: how do we decide if a site is worth my guest post?

I personally think, that’s a very subjective topic: you have the power to decide for yourself but being educated means making a smarter choice, so here are my own tips.

The important note first:

Google PR, SEOmoz rank and MyBlogGuest “Power” should NOT be the only factor you decide upon: guest posting for new but active (and rapidly growing blogs) is GOLD.
