Watch out: Guest posts are on Google's radar!

[DomainLeads.net]

We all knew it would be a matter of time. The slew of aggressive algo updates that Google’s rolled out over the past year have rendered many an Internet marketer virtually impotent in the SERPs. The Penguin update in particular has wreaked havoc on the vast majority of link-building methods (not a bad thing, considering some of the more spammy techniques floating around out there).

So, of course after the link blasting software was rendered obsolete and the blog networks were dismantled, everyone began to gravitate to the one thing that still worked – guest blogging. Guest blogging doesn’t just work – it works well. And webmasters, Internet marketers, and SEOs the world over have jumped on that gravy train en masse over the past few months.

Not surprisingly, the practice is being abused, and Google's taken notice.

So this is not news of any kind?
Just your opinion?

hahahahahaha....

I think guest posts are still relevant and will continue to be very relevant and that google will not touch it.

Matt Cutts released a video on YouTube back in early October in which he outlined a few “best practices” for guest bloggers to abide by. Then, recently, Cutts released a follow-up YouTube video detailing all the things guest bloggers should try to avoid.

Cutts vehemently defended guest posting as a good thing. However, he stressed how bad spammy guest blogging was. He gave specifics in the video, too: Cutts noted that 200-300 word wonders were, of course, no-nos. He also said that guest posting on low-quality websites was a bad practice as well.

I can't post links yet but you can watch this youtube video: what is Google's view on weblogging for links?

I didn't say all weblogging was bad, just posted it for caution. Better knowing in advance..! But thanks for laughing.

you said "link blasting software" doesn't work anymore ?
the same with "blog networks" ?

when you have those you don't need G to drive traffic to your site, those still work very well.
now... you want to be in top of G or you want traffic ? sometimes you can't have both.

Let's just keep the message in mind.

Maybe a spam-marketer wrote the title of this thread?
