Matt Cutts, Google's head of inquiry spam and the most wanted to be loathed man at Google, posted on his particular blog that visitor blogging is dead at any rate for third party referencing or SEO purposes.
Right away his dialect in the blog entry was considerably more expansive, saying visitor blogging in general is dead. He then elucidated that just for purposes of third party referencing or website streamlining is visitor blogging dead.
Matt clarified that while visitor blogging was an incredible thing, the SEO space destroyed it. He said, this is the reason "we can't have delightful things in the SEO space." Matt chose to utilize a few genuine dialect and said "so stick a fork in it: visitor blogging is carried out; its simply been able excessively spammy."
He said:
"In general I wouldn’t recommend accepting a guest blog post unless you are willing to vouch for someone personally or know them well. Likewise, I wouldn’t recommend relying on guest posting,guest blogging sites, or guest blogging SEO as a linkbuilding strategy."
Later on he added a bit more clarification:
"It seems like most people are getting the spirit of what I was trying to say, but I’ll add a bit more context. I’m not trying to throw the baby out with the bath water. There are still many good reasons to do some guest blogging (exposure, branding, increased reach, community, etc.). Those reasons existed way before Google and they’ll continue into the future. And there are absolutely some fantastic, high-quality guest bloggers out there. I changed the title of this post to make it more clear that I’m talking about guest blogging for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes."
"I’m also not talking about multi-author blogs. High-quality multi-author blogs like Boing Boing have been around since the beginning of the web, and they can be compelling, wonderful, and useful.I just want to highlight that a bunch of low-quality or spam sites have latched on to “guest blogging” as their link-building strategy, and we see a lot more spammy attempts to do guest blogging. Because of that, I’d recommend skepticism (or at least caution) when someone reaches out and offers you a guest blog article."
Obviously, the SEO neighborhood is buzzing on the subject. We have strings at Cre8asite Forum,WebmasterWorld and a huge Q&a session at Hacker News. Obviously, Twitter and Facebook is blasting, you can see Matt Cutts tweet.
Directly, I never felt open to permitting anybody to visitor post stuff here. It is my site, I am not that welcoming I figure. We possibly had three visitor posts here from outside creators on extraordinary events.
