Hello everyone,

I need to find a website I can guess blog posts on. Please can someone tell me where I need to look and how the process works: E.g Do i email the blogger saying I'll pay him? Also what categories would work well for removal website. www.van-plus.com to be precise.

Thanks in advance!

Whatever you do, DO NOT PAY FOR LINKS!!!! If the content you have to offer is quality then they will be willing to take it. Don't just guest post for the sake of links though, if links is why you are doing it then you're wasting your time because Penguin 2.0 was released to stop people doing exactly that!

Concentrate on writing compelling and interesting copy in your website and reach out to people using it as a way of getting people to visit your website where you can then sell your products and services. If you find a website that looks good, see what kind of stats they have. If they openly say what kind of visits they get then that's good, how often to they post, look at the cache date of the website and look at the quality of the posts.

A good place to start is to look at where your competitors have links on, especially nowadays with the changes, those ranking at the top are sure to have some good links.

Ok let me start with 1 basic thing... do not BUY guest posting placements or else you will get dramatically hurt.... not only from the branding point of view but from the rankings point of view as well....

As far as how guest blogging process works here is the short and quick version if it!

1. List down the blogs that are within your niche.
2. Check their DA, total subscribers and social value and separate the best accordingly!
3. Get their emails and outreach to them for the guest blogging opportunity!
4. Check the status of the emails and see who allow you to send them the guest post!
5. Send the guest post and ask them when they can make it live!

Wait for the guest posts to go live...

Once live... its always great to share it on social media channels and work accordingly!

Hi Peter,

For some information on the process check out a couple of articles like: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-advanced-guest-blogging http://www.searchenginejournal.com/the-ultimate-guest-bloggers-guide-for-2013/57457/

and also some wise words of warning here:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-guest-bloggers-are-sleepwalking-their-way-into-penalties

That second link above also some some follow on links for some of the more popular blogger linkup sites like myguestblog.com and bloggerlinkup.com. I can't say I have ever actually published a post with these services, but worth checking out to see what is there and generally how the process on those sites work.

In regards what categories are suitable, you are going to need to brainstorm and think outside of the box a bit, there are no independent removals bloggers that I know of :). I have also seen quite a few really spammy removals posts, seems to be an industry that is/was attracting this kind of link building. If you want to stay away from that you will need to think laterally and go for niches that can somehow be related to yours.

A couple of ideas might be DIY or home renovation blogs, entrepreneur/small business blogs maybe even an automotive type blog (you have vans right?).
So with any of those, once you found a likely blog, see what kind of content they use and try to find an angle for content of a post that is directed to their audience but relevant to you. Many times you might not even be mentioning your removals service, you might be talking about the process you used to build your business or about some cool modifications you have made to your vans.

And as the others say, don't pay for the post or the link!

My two cents!
