I’ve been involved in selling web software online for years; just not in this industry. Although I do have one of the biggest blogs in this industry, I literally have no connections with the top bloggers that I would call strong relationships. I want them to be the best articles I can write on a variety of topics.

I’ve been interviewed about marketing using guest posts over 10 times, I’m mentioned on the homepage of a guest posting community and I’ve written far more of them than I care to remember. On the web, your name and your blog are your brand, and guest blogging helps you get them out there in your industry.

PR people aren’t in the ad sales industry. Therefore, if you’re serious about blogging, you need to make a concerted effort to learn traditional media/publishing etiquette. Bloggers are clearly in a different position than reporters because they are often also the publisher, and the publisher IS interested in ad sales.

I don’t think it matters what you read but published, physical books, are probably the best place to start. Books from any major publishing house go through rigorous review by editors who’ve spent years perfecting their skills in this area, so the end result is usually some fantastic written word.

Leave Blog Comments Most blog comments are nofollowed (this means search engines aren’t supposed to give weight to the link, though I believe Yahoo and Bing still do) so they don’t provide much link juice directly. Flippa is a place for people to buy and sell websites and has a very interactive community.
