Guest Blogging being penalized by Google

The new changes were informed to the wordpress.com bloggers well in advance and many prominent bloggers wrote about these changes. 

Did you know that myblogpost dot com was shut off by google 

No but we were informed that doing a guest post for a blog will bring penalty from Google and some guidelines which one should follow after the new changes. It was some time back. 

@Vijay That was MyBlogGuest.com :D

Whoa! Now this is serious business! I wonder how this will impact the organic content industry when it was just taking off for better prospects!

Yep PM pretty serious read matt cutts himself here > http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/

VP, I had read this but this is more related to low quality guest posting which was done before Hummingbird, Panda and Penguin updates for the sake of backlinks. If you are adding values through guest posting, you shouldn't worry. In short, your guest posts should be adding value to the site and it shouldn't be spamy. Chill VP

I dont take Guest Posts PM just noticed that google was penalizing so brought it to notice of bloggers 

VP

why does Google penalize guest bloggers ?

Beacause people started to abuse the guest blogging system to generate backlinks, there were few websites which made it a business and created backlinks for the people in exachange of money. This inturn hampered the ranking system. So, google started to penalize the people who are doing the wrong practice. 

Vijay,  Now, I won't accept your guest post on my blog  unless you give me a 3k words story 

ok 3k words story with 35 dofollow links 

Hi, 

You people are right that website has been penalized by Google, but Guest Blogging still on the way but you have to put effort as well as make it publish in top blogs.

Guest Blogging, guest post (or whatever you call this linking seo process) is now penalized and I got warning notification too from Google webmaster tool about issue with outbound links. More than 30% articles on my blog are guest post.

So, I removed unecessarly articles, made changes to hypertext and some nofollow. Now waiting for a reply from google webmaster. I was also asked by a guest writer to remove their link. So you can imagine the current situation.

same happened with me when i removed all the link and filed the reconsider request it failed again

Guest blogging is the best way to increase huge visitors towards any blog.

But If you are linking low quality websites then it is a red alert from Google. Google penalize those who have low quality links.

So offer Guest Posting but keep in mind who is writing for you.

Guest blogging with nofollow links are still in the game, right?

No Follow links are okay I suppose but why not avoid guest blogging all together.  Who will guest blog on ur site for no follow links 

I think personal bloggers may guest blog even if the links are no follow.

and Vijay, what happened to your guest post on my blog? 

Ranjith you are no longer forum king I will gp on NDs blog now 

PS just now saw you still are so preparing the guest post with 35 do follow links 

Ranjith you are no longer forum king I will gp on NDs blog now 

Forum hero status comes and goes but Ranjith is Ranjith 

Google checks relevancy. If you are writing a guest post related to technology on a fashion related website then you will be penalized. However, if you are writing a blog post for a blog that is of tech sphere, chances are that you will get a backlink and some visitors also.

You have cited example of Search Engine Land, if you will check then you will find that a lot of guest bloggers are activate there. All of  them are marketors or running an SEO firm. Thus hiting their own niches.

Find a relavent site and post content there if you get a chance to post.  You will not get penalized.

Nitin this is not what I think.I think Google is now very strict on Unnatural links any which way u get them

yes Vijay that's what I am saying. irrelevant links are unnatural links. Relevant ones are not unnatural.  Threfore, if you do guest blogging on wrong niche to get backlink that will be treated as unnatural or if you will get a backlink from adult site and the like that doesnt fall in your domain or niches. Nontheless, if you are doing that in your own niche the link building will be regarded as natural.

Click at the link and check Jon Ball profile. He is a professional link builder and writing guest post at SEJ to get visitor. Now if he will do the same at techcrunch then it will be regarded as unethical link building.

I hope you are getting. Me too a learner like you. Hence, if you find that I am wrong anywhere. Please feel free to correct me brother.

Its jorgan that post of people get confused and afriad about guest posting.

The content you post as a guest post to blog or website should be releant to category and if you have placed link which is also related. And if people are more likely to click on it is good guest posting activities I can say. So if you do guest posting in proper way you wont have any issue as told in thread.

Conclusion:

So Post good content in right category, place right url that will help visitors to find what they want.

Exactly :P 

So in short I can't submit my articles to any e-mag? I'm curious since few mag publishers have been asking from me and all I could ask from them in return few "do follow" backlinks... So, can't I link the Author name with my blog under my article there?  [Hopeless smile]

Broda for you Google will allow
