Guest posting on other blogs is a great way to promote your own site, and allowing other bloggers to guest post on yours is a great way to offer your visitors fresh content from a variety of perspectives. As a long-time publisher of guest posts on RLROUSE.COM and my other sites, the biggest problem I have encountered is sifting through all the garbage submissions to find the rare true gem.
Unfortunately, a large portion of the dozens of guest post submissions that hit my inbox every day are little more than spam-laden attempts to get a cheap link back to the author’s website. Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with requesting proper attribution and a little “link love” in exchange for the use of an insightful, relevant article, but bloggers that spam other bloggers with poorly written pieces of link-filled junk do nothing to enhance their online reputations (and ironically, in the end their search engine rankings will suffer as well).
A few months ago I discovered an amazing resource for finding high-quality guest posts for most any niche. Online marketing guru Ann Smarty is the brains and inspiration behind MyBlogGuest.com, a wonderful community that is dedicated to bringing guest posters and bloggers together in the most expeditious manner possible. And after using the site for several months I can tell you that it works extremely well.
The heart of MyBlogGuest.com is the Article Gallery. After uploading an article to the gallery, the author can usually expect several offers from bloggers who are interested in publishing the article on their blogs. The author can then choose the most appropriate blog from the offers received. After an offer is accepted, the “winning” blogger is notified and provided with the HTML code for the article.
A big plus when using the Article Gallery is the fact that every article submitted is automatically run through CopyScape to ensure that it has not been plagiarized or previously published elsewhere. This is a HUGE timesaver for the publishing blogger since the article has already been vetted during the submission process.
Of course it goes without saying that publishers will find MyBlogGuest.com just as useful as the authors who list their articles there. Just imagine having a constant supply of high quality, unique and relevant articles just waiting a few mouse clicks away. By making extensive use of the Article Gallery, a blogger could conceivably develop and grow a blog from now until eternity by posting great new articles every day without ever having to write a word of his/her own!
There are other handy resources avaiable on the site as well, including a great forum where writers and bloggers can make specific requests and often receive replies and assistance in minutes. Whether you need an article written on a very specific topic or you need assistance promoting your works on social media sites, the MyBlogGuest.com Forum is the place to go!
I guess you can tell by now that I’m a huge supporter of this site. And no, I’m not being compensated in any way for writing a “glowing review” on it. I’m simply a VERY satisfied user of the services offered, and I’m guessing that you will be too after you check it out for yourself.
