Matt Cutts

There was a trend of Guest
blogging over the past years. We have seen it increase Guest writer’s image,
name and fame. But over the last year Guest blogging become a way of link
building strategy. Among many quality guest content writer poor content writer
select this as a link building tactic. As a result noticeable number of Guest
blogger participate in this tactic and ultimately creating spam.
Google’s head of the spam sheriff
declare war against all kinds of spam. Recently he has warned about all kinds
of widget link schemer but beforehand he was warned about link building
strategy through Guest blogging. But many blogger was ignorant about this
warning. Previous history of Google’s warning through different topic and
videos are as follows-
- October 2012: Released a video that how Google view on guest blogging for links?
- July 9, 2013: Google suggest to add no-follow tag on Guest writer’s links.
- October 16, 2013: Google’s Matt Cutts suggest for moderation on Guest articles.
- Dec. 10, 2013: Matt Cutts clearly said Guest Blogging Abuse & Spam.
And recently another warning has given in 21st January 2014 by publishing a post that also share on his twitter profile.
According to sequence of
warning you can see first Google said to use no-follow attribute on link and
later on also said for moderation.
Matt cuts clearly said towards
webmasters those who accept guest posts-
Okay, I’m calling it: if you’re
using guest blogging as a way to gain links in 2014, you should probably stop.
Why? Because over time it’s become a more and more spammy practice, and if
you’re doing a lot of guest blogging then you’re hanging out with really bad company.
From his message we can
understand guest blogging is dead as a link building tactic in 2014. Cutts also
said-
‘’So stick a fork in it. : guest
blogging is done; it’s just gotten too spammy. 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 link building
strategy.
After publishing this article many
webmaster those who are running their blog with multiple author has leave
comment that will it be harmful for those website?
In response to those comments
Matt cuts assure that high-quality multi-author blogs won’t affect those who
has built specially for Search Engine Optimization purpose.
So guest writer be careful and
there is a warning message for webmaster that they should stop posting guest
article. However you can publish guest post those who hasn’t any do-follow link
requirement. And there is a suggestion for guest writer that please don’t take
it as a way of link building. There has more reason behind guest blogging such
as exposure, branding, increased reach, community, so write guest article on
for those reason not for link building.
