- What's up guys.
So in this video, I'm going to teach you exactly
how to find high quality backlinks from guest blogging.
By the end of this video,
you'll discover exactly
how to find guest blogging opportunities
just like this one.
So for example, this is a DR 66 website
I was featured on with a guest blog.
I was also recently featured in this article
which is a DR 77
where I talk about my guest posting tips.
So you can see here.
And if you want to land high quality guest posts
that actually increase your website's traffic,
then make sure you watch this video.
Okay, so if you want
to find relevant guest blogging opportunities
to your industry,
then I'd recommend starting
with the Content Explorer on Ahrefs,
and you just type in the keyword that's relevant
to your niche, right?
So for example, if you are an SEO, you type in SEO.
If you're blogging about dogs, you can type it in like this.
Then change this drop down to in title
because this will give you more relevant searches.
And if we hit search like this,
what you're gonna see here is literally
like millions of potential websites.
you could contact for a guest blog
that have talked about your particular keyword.
Now what I'd recommend doing is filtering this
to one page per domain
so you don't get duplicates in your list.
And once that loads,
there's a ton of websites
that you could potentially contact
for a backlink from a guest blog, right.
Now obviously there's gonna be some websites
in this list that you don't want to reach out to.
So what you can do is hit export like this,
and I'd recommend just doing the first 1000 results
because not every single result you get
is gonna be relevant.
So if you just do the first 1000,
that gives you plenty to work with for now,
and we're just going to wait for that to export
and come back.
And as you can see, our list is downloaded now.
So what we can do is open up in Google Sheets like this,
and what this will give us is a list of prospects
for guest posting that we could potentially contact, right.
So if we wait for this list to load,
hit the settings like that,
replace the current sheet,
and now you've got a long list of URLs
that you could contact.
Now what I would recommend doing is going
through the list and just deleting any sort
of content that isn't relevant to you.
So for example, you might delete these three results
because they're not really relevant,
and this site looks relevant.
These two as well.
Actually, you could contact these websites too.
Keep scrolling down.
And what you can do is actually check the relevance
by the content title here.
So as you scroll down, some of these articles
aren't going to be relevant
which means you don't want to approach them for a backlink
from a guest blog, but we can filter those out like this.
And then eventually what you want to do is just
go through the whole list
and delete anything that's not relevant to you.
And then what you can do is actually take these URLs.
If you want to look in bulk for their email address
and run them through Hunter's bulk checker.
So if you want to contact all of these websites
for a guest post, you can take the whole list
of URLs like that, and then paste them into Hunter.
And then once you run that search,
it's actually going to give you the email address
for the websites it can find the email address for,
so if there's a email address
for these websites openly available on the internet,
then Hunter will find that for you.
So it's quite a powerful tool.
And then what you can do is reach out
to those sites and ask for a backlink.
So that is a really quick way
to find guest posting opportunities for your industry,
but I'm also going to cover a few other ways
that you can do this too.
Now another quick way to find guest blogging opportunities
in your industry is simply to go to Google, right?
What you can do is
you can type in a search query like this, for example.
So you would type in your keyword
and then guest post by, right.
So for example, if we hit that into Google,
you can see that there's loads of guest posts here
about dogs, right?
So if you were in the dogs industry,
then you would see tons of guest post opportunities.
So the cool thing is you can actually reach out
to this website, and say,
"Hey I notice you are accepting guest blogs from this site.
Maybe you want a guest blog from us as well.
Here's the reasons why our content would be good
for your site."
And you can easily reach out to them too
because chances are if this website accepts guest blogs
from this writer
because the chances are
if this website accepts guest blogs from Jamie,
for example, then chances are they'll accept guest blogs
from you as well.
So that's another easy way to find guest blogs.
And you can do this for any keyword.
For example, if we go back to SEO,
you can see that you can quickly find
guest blogging opportunities.
Or let's say you've got a website about COVID, right.
You can see that there's guest blogs
around this particular content too.
So yeah, if you want to find guest blogging opportunities,
this is a really quick and simple way to do it.
This is tried, tested, and proven to work.
And then what you can do is reach out
to each of the websites that's taking the guest blog
and ask them for a backlink too.
The third technique that you could use
to find guest blogs is actually use openly shared lists
of websites that accept guest blogs.
So for example, if you type this into Google,
and you can replace this with whatever keyword
you were looking for,
then you can see that there's a ton
of lists of websites that accept guests books.
However, I don't think it's optimal
because the thing is everyone's doing this, right?
So everyone's going to go through this list
and approach all these sites
which means that they've been rinsed for guest blogs
that if they accept guest blogs from you,
they'll except them from anyone.
And also, it just feels like a lot
of these websites will get bombarded
with guest blog requests.
So the more these sort of openly shared lists are used,
the less effective they are.
So I would say if you're really stuck
for ideas with guest blogging,
sure, you can use an openly shared list.
Do I think is optimal?
No, I genuinely don't think it's the best way
to build backlinks from guest blogs,
so yeah, I would stick with the first two strategies first,
and then come back to this if you really need it.
