By March 15, 2015advertising, SEO

Ya know that friend that keeps nagging you about writing a guest post for your booming blog because all he or she really wants is a hefty amount of links directing your precious audience back to his or her website?

We’ve all got that friend, and if you don’t have that friend, you might want to consider stepping out of your comfort zone at parties more often, especially in awkward states like Utah. Anyway, guest blogging is so dead. Regardless of what you’ve heard some “friend of a friend” SEO expert say, guest blogging is gonzo and should be dealt with accordingly.

With raw, unadulterated content marketing leading the way for digital advertising trends, quick fixes—requiring little to no effort and zero efficacy with respect to sound SEO strategy—abound on the World Wide Web.

If you’re earnestly working to grow your company’s blog or website and somebody creepy approaches you through email asking for a guest post opportunity or help with locating a lost puppy, delete the email and continue producing real content to engage your target community.

Fortunately, Google’s algorithm is now spam sensitive in an effort to protect the purity of sound SEO efforts. Mommy bloggers from Utah can now breathe a sigh of relief. Sincerely, without the hassle of dealing with guest post inquiries, all is well in Zion.
