Is ‘Unsolicited’
Guest Posting
About to
Die?
What’s in store for guest
bloggers in 2013, and
beyond?




[Makes me wonder .....]
ProBlogger’s Halt on Guest Post
Submissions ….
It’s Experiment Time at DailyBlogTips
as well -

     “I thought about it and decided to run an
     experiment in 2013: I won’t be publishing
     guest posts anymore and will write all the
     posts myself (so be warned: you are stuck
     with my ramblings now!).”


                Daniel Scocco
           Founder, DailyBlogTips.com
Sometime ago, CopyBlogger.com
and SmashingMagazine.com made
a similar shift in their guest posting
strategies.

They stopped accepting unsolicited
guest post submissions.

They turned invite-only.
But, why are all these A-list bloggers stopping to accept
unsolicited guest post submissions (after so many
years of starting their blogs)?

Common reasons include –
1. It’s lots of hard work dealing
   with loads of submissions they
   receive.
2. Most of the guest posts they
   get are low-quality and
   irrelevant, submitted by SEO
   and marketing companies.
3. They plan to provide readers
   with more focused and in-
   depth articles.
4. They plan to take readers on a
   journey over time.
Getting guest posts published, even if
you have something really unique to
share, on A-list blogs is already a hard
nut to crack.

Once published, however, it proves to
be a boon for budding bloggers. A
golden opportunity to get noticed
quickly.

The natural way.
The halt on
unsolicited
guest post
submissions by
A-list bloggers
is a new or
semi-popular
blogger’s
nightmare.
Well, no hard feelings. They have
complete freedom to make their
own decisions, choose their path
as they please.

            It’s fine.
It’s only that even real authors
       have to pay the price
                 for
 what low-value spammers
             are doing !
But, the biggest worry is this
What if ..

Everybody else starts to follow suit,
as more and more A-list bloggers
go on to stop unsolicited guest post
submissions?
