Anyone used Guest Posting services?

[GarethShaw]

Has anyone used Fatjoe.co.uk before? Is this still relevant for SEO these days? We did a few guest blogs on a few good sites last year but dont have the time these days to seek them out and write the content.

We tried them out last month for a keyword and the link is recognised in google webmaster and the site wasnt spammy or anything. Traffic did increase for the keyword too.

Before I spend another £35 per post do people think its worthwhile?

Many thanks

Depending the sites quality, £35 is a really good price. Never used Fatjoe, though.

For £35 its DA 10-30 in a relevant niche

I guess it's lit bit pricey then.

Try and ask for the following metrics next times. DA 30+ and probably you know what values the others need to have..

Use Guest posting for your targeted audience and provide them what they need as well as on how they will be benefited on the long term effect. Large scale of guest posting had triggered red flag from Google and they monitoring this kind of activity for link purposes and spamming.

Not worth spending a penny. Guest posting can work but not for £35. All you will get for your money is regurgitated and spun dross that adds zero value and will end up on some junk website.

Paying for a guest blog is not the best ways to go about it. Google penalized a big guest blog network recently and if you are doing paid blog posts then you could be in trouble.

I am certain spammy guest posting is doomed, and will go the way of link networks and article directories sooner or later. Guest contributions will remain on certain blogs, though. For example, can you imagine Search Engine Land where all the articles are written by Danny Sullivan alone? That'd be nice, but a totally different story.

Serplogic Review

We have used Serplogic in the past. Our Serplogic review would be mainly positive and though more expensive than the average you get what you pay for when it comes to SEO I guess.

Never heard of them before, so I had a look. Most of their services look very expensive, except for their content writing which is ridiculously cheap. Make of that what you will.
