You may know that guest blogging is one of the easiest ways to get visibility and fresh content, two crucial elements to having a successful blog. We at MyBlogGuest have hopefully managed to make it much easier by connecting blogs and writers based on the merit of articles rather than an exhaustive searching process. Now, they are going a step further.
Thanks to a new WordPress plugin, you can now find and even request and publish content from the MBG gallery through your WordPress dashboard. You just look through the category or search keywords, reach through likely looking posts, ask for permission to use them from the writer by making an official offer, and wallah! You are done.
If your offer is accepted, it will show up under your blog’s dashboard header with a small, red notice. You can then publish it and click an option to alert the writer that it is up.
How Well Does It Work?
The plugin is in its alpha release, so we are fixing some incompatibility issues daily. It should be working for everyone now! I have found that it has improved my productivity and just made things easier.
@roadturn Agreed! Looks pretty sweet. #myblogguest. I need to download that plugin for some of my blogs.

As for installing it, that is easy as well. All you have to do is sign into your MBG account, and go to My Menu. There will be an option called Add/Edit Sites and Tags, then on that page a WordPress icon that you can select.
From there, you will be taken to the authorization page. You choose which blog connected to the account you want it installed on, then verify. If you want to install it on more than one, just go through the process once with each blog. The process has to be one at a time, as each blog will have a unique verification code sent along with the install request.
Conclusion
Anyone who says it sounds too simple is right: it is really, really easy. Both to install and to use, which is one of the best parts about it. I have to be honest when I say that I am entirely technologically backward when it comes to these things, but I have still had no issues whatsoever.
What are your thoughts?

That seems to be a very interesting plugin. One simple question whether these guest blogger will charge money for guest posting or they will feed our site only for the sake of a backlink.

Thanks for sharing. We have a few guest bloggers recently enquiring about potentially blogging on our site. I was looking at ways to accommodate them in the best way possible as well as giving them visibility and credit. I think the above solution sounds about perfect! Thanks Ann.

I installed it and tried to authenticate it but I have no idea if it authenticated correctly as when the page is reloaded it asks me to authenticate again. Maybe it doesn’t run well in Firefox?

Hmmm…thanx for your great article..it is one of the perfect plugins designed wordpress…

Ann,
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like this plugin is designed to be a convenient way for publishers looking to syndicate your content if they choose to do so
Personally, I love the idea. I am going to take a look at it for sure.

Hey Mark, thanks! I am not sure if it can be called “syndication” because (correct me if I am wrong) syndication is mostly about re-using content while guest posts provided by this plugin are 100% unique (we check them using Copyscape Premium). Thanks for checking out!

A great way to get your blog de-listed by Google! Unlike blogspot, Google can’t delete WP blogs, but they can be taken out of the search system.

Dave, this plugin lets you publish unique articles that go absolutely in-line with Google policies. You are not going to be delisted if you only publish articles which you love!
