I’m not much familiar with these things. I work on Data Entry projects thru a site called: Getafreelancer.com. I would like to take your help, if you can help at your earliest.
I’ve been awarded a projet of blog poster, where I’m required to post about 25 posts to a list of 1000 blogs in the first phase. I have written the blogs (whch is commercial in nature) and they were okayed by the service buyer. But when i tried to go post most or all of the sites do not take posts from, instead they require me to send them my sites url, message and other info. They say, They will reply only after their revision of my msg and url. Isn’t there any other way that I could post to others blogs on a particular or on any topic ??
if yes, How do I do that ?
Please help me.

Thank you

1) Guest blogging is a fun way to get links and build an audience.

2) You can go for old-school methods and use directory submissions and article submissions, both strategies that still work (despite what anyone will tell you).

There are more, I’ll do a longer list sometime.

are we going to get into a debate of whether SEO is important or not?

Because that’s one that we’ve had here several times before, with little success

SEO has a specific objective – traffic from search engines.

Blogging has multiple objectives, some of which can benefit from search engine traffic, others that don’t need SE traffic.

Internet marketing, making money online, etc etc – all can use SE traffic, all can get away with it without using SE traffic.

Bashing SEO for it makes little sense

Personally I find that SE traffic is a great bonus – yes, it may not bring you as many regular readers as blogging and conversations does, but then are you getting SE traffic for readers, and are your pages optimized for that purpose?

It’s up to you on how you choose to use SEO. Don’t bash it because you don’t get it or don’t use it

@Liz: I’m speaking purely in terms of raising the authority of your blog. But that said, I still think that more links bring more traffic, which brings more potential for opportunity, contracts, friendships. So I think link building is important for many reasons.

I’ll add two:

- Incentivizing bloggers to link to you: An example would be Chris Garrett’s offer to (among other things) give you a link for reviewing his ebook. This also works for contests (I recently saw someone offering a prize for guessing their upcoming pagerank – clever).

- Memes/Tagging: Tagging people for memes often generates many reciprocal links.
