How to determine a web site is a high quality guest blogging web site?
-
Hi,
I would like to do guest blogging on the quality web sites, the problem is how can I decide they are good quality web sites?
for example:
1)ehow.com
all of the above are PR 4 or higher.
Thanks
Derek

I honestly wouldn't go for any of them. If I were going to post on a site other than my own site, I'd look for something in my field where there would be visitors that are actually interested in my niche. Do it for the readers, not for the search engines.
Would you go to one of the above sites on your own if you were not guest posting there? If one of the above sites got hit in an algorithm update, or chose to nofollow their links, would you still want the post there?

I agree with Keri. Why not looking for some guest blogging opportunities. Try this out - do the following search in Google:
[subject of choice] + intitle:"write for us" or [subject of choice] + intitle:"guest post"
For example, if I was looking to write on recycling I would do the following search:
recycling + intitle:"write for us"
With a little digging some great opportunities should pop up! ^Caitlin

Keri/DragonSearch,
Thanks for the information. I have two purpose to do the guest blogging in these web sites:
-
Get some traffic from these sites: for example, ehow has an alexa index of 323, there are lots of traffic there. I hope people read the article may also click on my backlink.
-
I hope there are some SEO benefit from these web sites, but I am not sure. in the past, most of article directories don't control the article quality and got punished by Google. Later some of the article directories clean it up and add quality control, I think those article directories which add quality control may have some SEO effort, but I don't know which article directories. hope somebody can point it out.
Thanks

I'd look at what is posted on those sites. Are they posting quality information? Is the information relevant to your topic? Do their guidelines mention any quality control process?
