The Blog Engage $500 USD Guest Blogging Contest #1
Blog Engage $500 USD Guest Blogging Qualifying Article

Beware of drive-by guest bloggers offering to write free articles for your website. You may say, “But I’m not a writer. I can’t turn down free content!” You know that you need fresh content to attract buyers, and guest posts seem like an answer to all your prayers. Free? Even better. But when a writer appears out of nowhere, offers to write you unique posts – exclusively yours – in exchange for a backlink or two; remember that “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.” Your rich, overseas fourth cousin, seven times removed, did not just die and leave you a database overflowing with free PANDA food.

This is not meant to be a dry, boring lesson on copyright law and the evils of plagiarism. Rather, it is a cautionary tale for bloggers. It helps to understand a little bit about U.S. copyright law, so bear with me. And before you think, “Whew! That doesn’t apply to me, since I’m not IN the U.S.,” remember that most of the popular web hosting companies are subject to U.S. law, and consider this information on International Copyright.

Ideas Cannot Be Copyrighted – Thank Goodness!

Did you know that an idea cannot be copyrighted? If they could, there might only be one poorly written blog post about the importance of commenting on others’ blogs. In fact, there might be only one blog devoted to “blogging tips”! There goes your chance to dominate the blogging tips niche. So sharing is good – in the world of ideas.

Building upon others’ works is also good – especially in non-fiction. You can quote a snippet from another work – properly citing it, of course – and add to the discussion with your own ideas, commentary, and critique. No need to reinvent the wheel.

In principle, it’s okay to use small excerpts of other works for one of three purposes: education (though maybe not in in a training module sold for a profit!); parody (think Saturday Night Live); or review and critique (otherwise there would be no book, movie, or video game reviews allowed – and that would make their creators very sad). This is what’s meant by “fair use” – the tricky thing here is figuring out just how much of the original work you can use before being accused of a copyright violation. “Fair use” is a defense, not an absolute right.

“Plagiarism” is a low-life form of “copyright violation” in which one not only uses someone else’s work, but lies and claims he created it. Even if you properly credit the original author of the work, you’ve violated copyright if you’ve used too much of it without permission. “Too much” might be interpreted as “any more than you absolutely need in order to make your point.” Scraping a whole blog post is obviously too much. Copying an excerpt – arguably designed to be shared as part of “how the Internet works” is not a copyright violation if you cite the source.

Paraphrasing & Derivative Works

But what about paraphrasing? That’s okay, surely – you’re taking the same ideas, but using different words.
Then what about changing words? That’s acceptable, certainly – you can be using the same ideas, but writing synonyms.

Does that second sentence earn points for originality? That’s a “derivative work,” based on the first, and not even an interesting one. It does nothing to add to or change the original sentence. That’s what article spinner software and “PLR content” wants to sell you – the notion that by running words through the electronic equivalent of a salad spinner equipped with a thesaurus to produce something “unique,”  your post or article is original and not a copyright violation.

It’s a lie, at least under U.S. law. Because copyright protects “derivative works” and gives the copyright owner the sole right to create them.

A “derivative work” is a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”.

What does an article spinner do? It goes out and grabs a bunch of text based on keywords in preexisting works? It lifts passages and “spins” them, arguably creating something different. In reality, there are usually recognizable  chunks that would allow a halfway diligent researcher to trace them to their origins (or at least to numerous other “spun” copies).  If you did this to your own original articles, it would be lazy, at worst – but you’d have the right to do it. That’s why article spinners aren’t, in and of themselves, illegal. You can take all your own old blog posts and recycle them into yummy PANDA food. But doing it to others’ content actually can lead to a copyright nightmare – instead of one blogger coming after you with a DMCA notice, you might have ten irate bloggers all clamoring to have your site taken down.

Note: The following examples are based on actual guest post offers. Copied content is used here for educational purposes – to warn bloggers of the sorts of things to look for. Names have been removed, because I’ve been unable to ascertain the identity of, or contact, the original author of the content, and so have attributed it to “A. Guest Writer” – a fictitious name.

The Offer: Too Good to Be True and How Can I Tell?

If your inbox is full of guest post offers from random strangers, ask yourself, “What’s in it for the writer?” Odds are, someone else is paying them to place spammy backlinks anywhere, any way, that they can. And this is pretty effective for them. For example, I get what looks like a great offer in email:

Hi,

I would like to write an article for your website and in return I would like to have two link backs to my website. Let me know how we can proceed.

regards

A. Guest Writer

My first thoughts go something like this:

  • Wow, just two backlinks – and someone’s going to write me a post for free? Cool. Nice break for me!
  • Wait a second! He hasn’t mentioned me or my website by name – I’ll bet he says this to all the bloggers!
  • Maybe it’s petty of me, but “regards” should be capitalized and followed by a comma.

Still, I know that it’s important for bloggers to exchange backlinks. I was being a little petty about the capitalization, and maybe this guy was in a hurry. Maybe English isn’t his native language. Maybe he’s a kid. I write back, “Sounds good. What do you have in mind for the article? If it’s appropriate for my blog, I’ll be happy to consider it.” I commit to nothing.

Along comes the article, and right away, I spot red flags in the author’s bio block:

A. Guest Writer loves blogging on different subjects and he is a regular writer at Webhostingdeals.org. He has written articles on the topic of host alligator

Seriously? Host alligator? (The link, in this case, went to a page of Host Gator reviews, as expected. Just for giggles, I did a search for “host alligator.” Frankly, the notion of what might be covered in an alligator hunting seminar hosted by the Department of Natural Resources sounds like a far more interesting blog post.) After I stop laughing, I fire up Google.

So How Do You Spot the Fakes?

Host alligator is an immediate red flag. Nobody uses a thesaurus to mangle the keywords they want to promote; no sane writer mangles their own bio block. That tells me that no brain power was employed here. If the individual did not care enough to make sure his own bio block looked professional, I begin to wonder if he exists at all.

A simple Google search on A. Guest Writer’s email address reveals…nothing. The name used was fairly common; several different people showed up in search, but none of them wrote like this person. If someone is a “regular writer” anywhere, odds are, a search of their name or email address will turn up other articles, other social media accounts, and maybe a blog of their own. Real writers usually have a portfolio of work to show off.

Guest Post Sleuthing Tip #1 – Do a quick search on the writer’s name and email address. Ask for, and verify, previous publishing credits.

Next, I scan the text for unique phrasing – idiomatic expressions that make sense, and could not be easily switched out by an article spinner. I choose “wind out of the sails of criticism.” I use Google search to search for exactly that phrase, in quotes. It’s fairly common, though not all instances are relevant. I only care if the basic idea, structure, and expression are so similar it could be a copyright violation. I find articles on dealing with workplace criticism, criticism in a hospital setting, criticism in general – from a psychologist…  But what’s this? I find an article from last September on this very same topic – dealing with negative feedback on your blog! Now, you be the judge:

Older post – heading structure:

Identify the Issue
Humanize Your Responses
Be Prompt
Get Your Customers Involved
Think Twice Before You Delete

Guest post – heading structure:

Identify
Humanize
Prompt and Proactive
Get Them Involved

And, in the body, right below that last heading, “… So, next time you feel tempted to delete a particular comment, you should think twice.”

A similar “wind out of the sails of criticism” passage is contained in each post. In each, the passage appears in the “Humanize” section. And yet, it passes several plagiarism checkers. It’s unique, if not “original.” The fact that I found recognizable structure, nearly identical advice on the same topic, and some similar (fairly unique) phrases in parallel sections argues that it is derivative, and there is no credit given to the older post.

Guest Post Sleuthing Tip #2 – Search for idiomatic phrases, clichés, striking metaphors. Look for similarities in structure. Consider whether differences are due to the use of synonyms and obvious paraphrasing.

Guest Post Sleuthing Tip #3 – Look for obvious, weird synonym substitutions. What would be the more natural way to say the same thing? Perform a quick Google search on that, and compare results in context.

Guest Post Sleuthing Tip #4 – Run the whole thing through http://www.grammarly.com/ – not only will it check for plagiarism, it will offer suggestions on grammar, punctuation, and style. You can use it on your own work, too – it’s free.

Unfortunately, given the prevalence of “spun” and PLR (private label rights) content, it would be hard for anyone but the copyright owner of the original work to swear to its origins. The odds of getting caught in a copyright violation or having your site taken down over something like this are low. But you know how it feels to work hard and be really proud of a blog post you’ve created, and you know how it feels when someone else steals your work.  I hope that you will at least “consider the source” and not be too quick to publish those “free” guest posts – either because you are desperate for fresh blog content, tired of writing your own, or kind-hearted enough to want to help a fellow blogger. Make sure that you know the writer or check their references carefully.

I must thank Abhi Balani of OddBlogger.com for sharing some of his recent blogging tips and experiences with me; they provided some inspiration for this post. Many of us have similar stories. It’s unfortunate that we must be wary of others when our impulse is to say, “Hey, sure, thanks!” But better safe than sorry.

Whenever a newbie asks, “How do I get traffic?” I hear everyone saying “Write quality content”. Being a member of several Facebook groups, where I get to interact with a lot of new bloggers regularly. While there are many new things to know and learn, the above question and the reply by other bloggers remains common! Concentrating on your blog content really is important, but I don’t think it’s enough! There are some other things you need to pay attention as well.

Content Needs Focus?

Yeah, it does! Just imagine getting a thousand daily visitors on a post containing nothing useful (outdated content, undetailed post, off-topic content, etc.) Do you think the visitors will stay on your blog? If I am not wrong, they will leave your blog immediately. This will unnecessarily increase your server load, all your efforts to rank higher on Google will go in vain, you won’t get ad clicks, Google will find out your blog soon and the rest is history! I mean that content needs focus, it surely needs more focus than anything else. There can’t be a second thought on this.

Here are a few tips for writing Google-friendly blog posts

  • Focus on your visitors more than anything else.
  • Write user-friendly content. Write posts, not lists of keywords!
  • Avoid writing on “too common” topics. Or in case you decide to, make sure that your content is “too different” from others.
  • Be natural, don’t stuff keywords everywhere!

Besides content, there are several other factors that need to be taken care of. Content isn’t just enough. You need to get visitors, get people to read your article, get people to share it in short get known. How can you do it? A few things you need to concentrate on are,

The Visibility of Your Blog Posts

There is no point in writing several good quality posts every day if you don’t have a single reader. What I mean is, give equal importance to everything. Don’t just write, get people to notice it and return to your blog for more.

For example, if you write an article today, make sure that someone has read it before you write another article. Now, a person won’t come to your blog automatically. You need to drag him to your blog. To do this, you can use social media or SEO. While social media traffic is considered temporary (can last from an hour to a week or even more in some cases), organic traffic lasts long (for years and years to come). For a new blog as you are trying to get noticed, experiment social media (social bookmarking, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). And as you see your traffic rising, try building some links and drive in organic visitors.

Here’s a sample action plan after you have written an article:

  • Share it, tweet it, bookmark it.
  • Do whatever you can to bring that post into notice.
  • Give equal importance to social networking and social bookmarking sites.
  • Each of them perform differently.

Visitor Engagement

After you start getting visitors, you can expect user-opinions and questions to flow in. Don’t let questions unanswered and don’t forget to thank a visitor for his opinion. Engage with your visitors. Follow them on Twitter, friend them on Facebook, do whatever you can to stay in touch with that person. Time consuming? It’s time consuming, but it’s worth it! Your visitors will love your attitude towards them, other bloggers will appreciate it and you may end up making some useful friends!

Most of the visitors will return your care and will be back at your blog again. After you have successfully got a few engaging visitors (readers), a few blogger friends, a few commenters, head on to your writing den and write a few more user-friendly articles and repeat the above steps.

Now that you know, that content is not enough, your ultimate goal should be to get traffic and engage visitors and encourage them to comment, ask questions, help each other, etc. Once you have successful built a small community of writers, readers, regular visitors, it’s time to take your blog to the next level and pull in a few more visitors.

To do that you have to concentrate on a few more time consuming, but really helpful methods. One of them is SEO and another one is PPC. While SEO works the best for blogs, you can make use of PPC if you have a really big budget and you don’t mind losing money!

L-I-N-K-S & SEO

After you have linked with several bloggers and visitors, it’s time you should link with Google. What I mean is to get backlinks and rank higher in Google. When someone links to your blog or when you build links yourself, your SERPS change. A quality link improves your ranking and you can expect more traffic.

One of the best ways to build links is to comment on other blogs. This is a recommended method for starters as it helps you to build more links in less time. Another method is to guest post on blogs. While guest blogging is time-consuming, it gives you better results. It gives you links, direct traffic, plus you are introduced to a new audience.

Monetizing

If you were shocked, why I didn’t discuss this aspect early, let me tell you why I did so. It’s because readers should be your first priority. Money comes second. After you have built a small community and you get traffic, your next target should be money. Participate in all blog monetization methods like Adsense, affiliate marketing, coupon marketing, email marketing, etc. I recommend trying everything, because you really don’t know which one suits your blog the best and it also depends on which method you find comfortable.

Is That Enough?

Of course not! There’s always room for improvements. As you start writing more articles, you rank higher, your traffic increases, your earnings improve, you should practice a few advanced tactics. Try other methods to get traffic, make money, etc. For now keep on repeating the above steps and your blog should progress.

1000 USD 2011 Best Guest Blogger Contest Article Approved

Each of us as bloggers want to write blog posts that stands out, whether you are writing it for your blog or contributing it as a guest post. Writing excellent blog posts often depends upon us the blogger/author of the blog post.

Here are some things to help you write excellent blog posts.

Researching for your new blog posts is the first thing to do before you start writing. Before I started this blog post I was reading a book on how to do research before writing. I read through the chapter and thought about what I wanted to write for 3 days. Yes, 3 days! I didn’t want to rush into writing this article because I want to make sure it was well put together.

Before you start writing you should have knowledge about your topic and have an idea of how you want your blog post to turn out. You can do research by reading and asking questions to get more information.

Before writing my new blog posts I like to search for similar posts so that I don’t write as if I am duplicating the authour of that article. After searching for articles which are similar, I try my best to read through the article so that when I am writing my main points are different and write my blog posts in a different style so that my article stands out more, and make more impact on my blog readers.

Getting search engine traffic is really great and that is the reason why optimizing your blog posts for search engine traffic is a must. I see a lot of bloggers saying that they don’t write for SEO or they are not really interested in SEO. Well I am different, I have to make sure that my articles are optimized for search engines.

I try my very best to write for SEO and at the same time write to please my readers. This has been working out because my blog readers always like my style of writing and also what I write about.

When optimizing your blog posts you have to make sure use keywords which describes your blog posts. This will give you an advantage in ranking in search engine results for that particular keyword. Another thing to do is to target a particular keyword and use it in your blog posts as much as possible. Use the keyword in your sub-headings and place them in H1, H2 and H3 tags.

When I had just became a new blogger, I used to write my blog posts and publish them without re-reading what I had written. Of course there are plugins which you can use to proof read your blog posts which checks if there are any grammatical error. But the plugin doesn’t tell you that your blog posts are well written and that your readers will benefit greatly by reading it.

You have to make sure that you read your own blog posts just like you were a visitor of your own blog. Read your blog posts and make sure that your main points stand out, make sure that your blog posts are beneficial to everyone who reads it and make sure that your blog posts encourage your readers to share the article with others.

This article was written to help you write blog posts in a much better way.

Please comment and let the Blog Engage community know; how do you go about writing new blog posts?

If you don’t know what I am talking about, you are definitely MISSING OUT. Seriously.

But now that you know it, it’s OK…because now you can get in on it by reading this entire post.

Most folks who know anything about psychology are familiar with the fact that there are three major ways to motivate people.

The first two are flattery and inspiration. Both of them can be effectively used in your marketing and advertisement to increase response.

However, that’s not what we are talking about today.

It’s the third method, arguably the most interesting, intricate, and powerful of the three, that I want to bring to your attention.

GUILT.

Guilt via association or lack thereof, to be more precise.

Allow me to explain.

We all want to work with the best and learn from the best.

We also want to be associated with the best.

That’s precisely why you are reading every single word of this post…whether you know it or not.

It’s such a universal truth.

We all want to feel like we belong, like we are a part of the “A-list”. We want to know everything the leaders know and do what they do.

We also want to be associated with the best and be recognized for being associated with the best.

Why do you think so many people flock to celebrities? Why do you think celebrities have such huge entourages?

And why do you think the second you mention celebrity’s name at a party, there will always be someone who says “Oh yeah, I caught a glimpse of her/him on the street once?” Like that’s supposed to make us feel that they are just about related…

Instincts.

It’s almost like we are programmed to belong to anything that we perceive is better than what we are or what we have.

That’s precisely what made you read this post as well. Really.

From the very beginning, from the very title you instinctively wanted to read this article. Why?

Because, first I put a “guilt trip” on you, which caused you to begin reading the post.

Additionally, I removed you from the A-list or the perceived group of leaders, and you didn’t like it.

What is it that they know and you don’t?

You needed to find out.

So let’s go over exactly how I encouraged you to continue reading.

1.    I used READ THIS in the title. Even though it’s hidden at the end of the title and still appears to be subtle enough, it caught your wandering eye. Blatant command that’s even SHOUTING at you in all CAPS!

2.    “Every A-List Blogger Has READ THIS”. And you haven’t… What does it make you? NOT a part of the group. An outsider. They know something you don’t. Any appearance of your association with them was removed and somewhere deep inside you didn’t like it!

Pretty powerful, isn’t it?

So next time you write a sales letter or an ad, remember that association and guilt are two powerful factors that can seriously motivate your prospects to pay attention… IF you do it the right way.

After all, it did work on you. :)

In the years of interacting with myriad bloggers, I’ve often heard the sad lament of a blogger who can’t figure out what to write about. This is a baffling condition to me. Why would you want to be a blogger unless you were just bursting with thoughts, ideas, and snippets of info that you are dying to share with the entire universe?

To me, it’s like someone who says, “I am an inventor!” and then wracks their brain about what they can invent. Or someone who claims to be a musician and then tries to figure out what instrument they will learn.

If you can’t think of anything to blog about, maybe you’re not really a blogger! Or, at very least, maybe you’re trying to write in an area where you have too little interest and/or too little expertise.

Still, I’ll admit that even great writers do get writer’s block on occasion. So if you’re a real blogger, but have found yourself in a temporary rut, I’ve compiled a few ideas to help you remember all the great posts that are waiting to come out.

Within your blog niche, consider:

Innovations in Technology or Methods

What are new ideas? What are people trying? What is working? What isn’t? If you’re an MMO blogger, you might discuss your perception of the newest social media venture. Maybe you’ll note the pitfalls of a once-popular method.

Humorous Anecdotes

There’s nothing like an inside joke to foster a feeling of community. If you’ve seen something funny that only those in your niche will understand, share the laughter with your readers. My husband is an electrical engineer, so one of our favorite jokes compares the various kinds of engineers (electrical, mechanical, civil, etc.) in a way that addresses the inherent rivalry. I’m a singer (and an alto) and a favorite pieces is called “Alto’s Lament.” It’s full of all sorts of references that only a singer (and only a fellow non-melody singer) will understand.

Problems — Resolved or Not

Discussing common frustrations or difficulties within your topic is an easy way to get started. If you don’t have a solution, point out the ways you’ve tried to address the issue and why they haven’t worked. Ask for collaboration. If you have solved the problem, share your solution clearly and explicitly.

Admired or Important People

Who are the movers and the shakers in your niche? What have they done and what are they doing now? What can you learn from them? Analyzing the successes of others can be an valuable source of inspiration. Perhaps their examples can be applied to your own life or work.

Emotional Experiences

What issues and circumstances in your niche make you happy? angry? worried? optimistic? Share your feelings about the things that are coming up with your site visitors. Chances are, they are shared.

Once you’ve identified one of these things in your niche, all you have to do is share it. If it’s interesting to you, it will probably be interesting to someone else.

So far we have managed to create and make a success from our weekly word challenge.

What I would like to do now is create another fun and interactive community activity all our members can participate in.

See the word challenge is really limited to blog niches and if you’re not in that niche you’re sort of left out.

So I was hoping to get some feedback from our members on other ideas and suggestions on what we can do.

The activity should be a writing one and preferably something that can help us out. Either help us become better writers or simply more aware of our blogging activity’s and writing styles.

I’m open to all sorts of ideas and suggestions. So don’t’ be shy leave us a reply below and let us know your thoughts. This is a great opportunity to get our community involved with each other and to start building on our community relationships.

Blog Engage has so much to offer bloggers and by creating these community activities we help each other grow. We can become more mature in our writing styles, find new readers, build new friendships and much more.

So like I said leave a comment below with your idea and if we get enough of them I can make it a vote to pick the new blog engage community activity.
