Guest blogging for the gaming industry

[theLotter]

Guest blogging seems to be one of the few legit linking methods left these days.

My problem is that I work for a company in the gaming industry niche.

All of the blogs directly connected are either spam, competitors or affiliates.

I have been doing some guest blogging with connected articles on non-related blogs such as "financial advice if you win big" or a recent news story for a general blog.

However, these sites are not connected and I cannot get the more quality general sites interested in these topics.

Any advice for me?

Hi,

If you were promoting a website called “online gambling”, it might be an idea to search for “online gambling guest blogs” and go through the search results identifying opportunities to contribute to various blogs as you go along.

But that is exactly my problem...

When I do that all I get is a bunch of junk.

Hi Sara, Have you tried myblogguest.com ? Its all in one place for all your guest blogging need.

Yes, and it's great for finding blogs in unrelated industries that will publish my articles.

But my question is more if those links are valuable and if not suggestions for how to get more valuable/relevant ones.

Online Gambling is always going to be very black hat and difficult to rank for 'legitimately'  I found that using the wayback machine (http://archive.org/web/web.php) can help rat out spammy Gambling sites that have changed around.

As well as this it is just a matter of searching and finding those hidden gems or pushing some kind of high quality viral / media campaign where you can get into the higher quality websites.

Gambling and Pills are always going to be very blackhat so maybe you need to change hat slightly.
