<p>Despite the changes to Google&#8217;s algorithms, getting a link on a high profile blog is still one of the most effective ways to promote your site and to improve your ranking.<br />
This communicates to Google that your site has something worth sharing and it shows the spiders where your site is to ensure that all your pages get indexed promptly.<br />
Unfortunately though, this effect is severely diminished if that blogger expects links back &#8211; and particularly now as it can warn Google that you may be trying to manipulate their algorithms.<br />
This leaves you with something of a problem &#8211; because it means that you have to try and get sites onto those blogs without really being able to offer links in return.<br />
E-mail a blogger out of the blue with a link request and you&#8217;re almost bound to get a blank refusal (if you get a response at all), so what can you do instead when they&#8217;re not being generous?<br />
Here we will look at some of the ways you can coerce your way into getting that link&#8230;<br />
<strong>Guest Posting</strong><br />
Guest posting is currently the most reliable and effective way to generate lots of links. Essentially this means giving away content in exchange for a link.<br />
You write an article for the blog and say that they can publish it for free under the proviso that they include a link to your site in the body of the text.<br />
This system works well because it doesn&#8217;t look like blatant manipulation and because it gives the blogger something worthwhile to help their ranking too.<br />
Of course this process will still benefit you slightly more than them and this is something that they&#8217;re going to be aware of from the start &#8211; otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t have gone to the trouble to contact them.<br />
You <em>still </em>risk getting a rejection then, <em>unless </em>you can make that content really shine to the point that they&#8217;re desperate to have it on their site.<br />
Make sure that your article is not only incredibly well written, but also unique, contemporary and targeted directly at that blog&#8217;s visitors to provide the most possible value.<br />
<strong>Create a Relationship</strong><br />
<strong><img class="alignright" src="http://myblogguest.com/forum/uploads/articles/2013/4/community-64195_150.jpg" alt="" width="106" height="150" /> </strong>Some bloggers will still resent being contacted out of the blue though and rightly so.<br />
If you want to really improve your chances of getting a guest post published then, you should also try to do some groundwork first so that the blogger knows who you are and is more receptive to your mail.<br />
You can do this by posting on their forums or on the comments section of their posts.<br />
Better yet you can try meeting them in person &#8211; whether at a tradeshow or just through your other contacts. Networking is incredibly powerful for good SEO.<br />
<strong>Provide Value</strong><br />
Getting your guest post to provide value isn&#8217;t enough on its own &#8211; you also need to make sure that your <em>site </em>provides value and that it has something of interest to that blogger&#8217;s readers.<br />
The idea here is to make your site so useful, that the blogger will be doing their visitors a favour by pointing them towards you.<br />
Of course though this only works if you have your own niche/USP and you aren&#8217;t directly competing with said blogger&#8230;</p>
