Guest blogging opportunities and how to run them
If you’re going to accept guest author posts on your blog and offer guest blogging opportunities,then there are a few things to keep in mind:
- You want to (continue to) provide value to your readers
- You want to provide value to your guest authors
- You want your site to remain “on-point” with the content
How to provide continued value to your readers with guest author blogging opportunities:
- Specify what kind of content you are looking for.
- Tell potential guest authors what your readers are interested in the most, in case they don’t do proper site assessments beforehand, as mentioned in How to do guest blogging properly

Since this site is about link building and SEO, the first part of this post is going to discuss what kind of link juice you can expect from doing guest blogging.

I really don’t want to rehash the old argument of whether or not NoFollow backlinks have value, but I did some experiments with several guest author posts.
