Thanks for the mention – I’m so copying this brilliant post!
Morning Ryan – Thnx for helping highlight the homelessness problem of our Veterans.
Do you mind if I apply as a guest writer and then you reject me? I think that’d be a lot of fun!
I’ve found my writing to be a little too controversial for some of you big guys. For example, one of my guest posts was accepted after the outline (i had already guest posted for them once), and then after I wrote the masterpiece, it got pulled. At least I got a $10 gift card! haha.
Actually, I’d love to just be a judge when you highlight the audition posts!
It’s great you allow guest publishers to repost on their site after 3 months. Is this standard rule? If so, I gotta go talk to one site!
I will consider all guest posts, but I’ve turned down a few based on content. Some publishers allow guest authors to repost after a certain time period, others may not. Just ask.
Cool, they just said I couldn’t repost it on my site….. but, who’s to prevent from stopping me, esp after I give it say, 6 months or so? I just may never get the op to guest post for them again.
It’s definitely your right to turn down guest posts based on content… what other reasons would there be frankly. I’m really impressed with others who can always guest post and give away their work freely. I’ve had a couple guests posts myself, and I promote and love them to no end.
Good luck in the hunt! I hope you get plenty of submissions!
The big reason people don’t want articles republished is because of duplicate content penalties in the search engines. Google and other search engines put more emphasis on original articles and exact duplicates can drag down rankings for each site that publishes the same article. So an option to avoid that is to write a similar article, but change it enough that the meaning is the same, but the words and content order are different enough that they wouldn’t be considered identical.
Ah, very interesting Ryan. Yeah, it’s all about the all powerful Google. I didn’t realize Google penalizes sites for reposts. Interesting!
I may just have to go talk to one of my buddies who is pretty senior at Google for lunch today and pick his brain. I’m also going to ask him if he can give me $150,000 so I can buy the Audi R8 V10!
Hey Ryan — thanks for the link and good luck with getting some writers. Good idea on the 3 month lag time.
You have nailed it with the guidelines, very well written. All the best. You know I am always ready to gust post for you
Thanks for mentioning my article, Ryan!
