I think no one can write better then you for your own blog so its better to start with free blog site rather than you start with your own site.

Hi Ann, this is solid advice!
I’ve only been at this thing for a little while compared to you, but here’s what I’m doing to help manage guest authors on Basic Blog Tips.

First I recorded a video to demonstrate how to use the SEOPressor plugin. The benefit of having this plugin installed is that I can be sure each guest has picked out keywords and that they have included the proper tags in the post. The plugin also tracks keyword density and reminds guests to include internal links.

Next, I recorded an audio podcast which describe what the expectations are in terms of responding to comments and engaging with my readers. I also ask for links to writing samples before I even consider adding them as a contributor and sending out a password.

That’s what I have in my arsenal so far. I’m going to download your cheat sheet now too.

Thanks Ann!

3 years of the editing experience has taught me not to expect much from guest bloggers (in regards to HTML formatting). So when someone provides a well-formatted article, I feel very happy!

Hey Ray, common problem really, but there’s no good answer to it. Unless the article is duplicated, who can tell if it was copied from someone else’s content? We are no plagiarism experts, so there’s no way for us to find that.

I say: if it sounds good and there’s no direct duplication around the web, it is good to go!
