Ok so I’ve run most of my guest posts, I still have two or three to run, but they won’t be going live until after SES San Jose. So what did you think? Like em? Dislike em?
Share your feelings in the comments. Constructive criticism is fine, being a dufus troll is not. if you don’t want to be public feel free to drop me an email.

I’ve enjoyed them. Very much in a different style and possibly I would never have found them to begin with.
Whilst I don’t have a problem with guest posts and your guests did a reasonable job I can’t help thinking that they dilute the Michael Gray’ness of this blog. Not a good thing on the Michael Gray blog.
KISS SEO – Too simple and short. Ironically, it is too KISS. 2.5/5
Blogher, Pro-Woman or Anti-Man? – Same as the previous. 3/5
Both of them didn’t provide any real value, at least for me.

They were all of good quality. Keep them coming.
I like them! They give me a break and expose my audience to others. The reverse is true if I do a guest post elsewhere. Whenever you’d like to do a guest post on my blog, let me know!
As long as Wolf to Guest ratio is high and the guest posts are valuable: like
can be a bit disappointing when it isn’t you but the guests do add a lot of value so it’s no problem with me
keep em coming
i enjoyed the latest real estate post.
Honestly, I think they are great! Am I aloud to say that??
To sit on the fence completely – some were good some were poop. I think it’s nice to have it every now and then, maybe not all in one go. I missed ya a lil bit!
the real estate one was pretty good
I enjoyed all of them, though, like Tiago I did find the KISS and Blogher ones to be of little value to me personally. I still enjoyed reading them, but they didn’t really take away much value from them.
But, I did like the guest posts, and wouldn’t mind seeing more in the future.
I like the guest posts…. even if they are so serious
I don’t know why buy I get turned off by guest posts, as soon as I see at the top “this is a guest post by…” in my reader I usually immediately close it unless it has a REALLY catchy title I may read a bit.
To be honest, they have produced some quality content but – its not in the “Greywolf style”, so I must say that I didn’t “digest” them in a way I would do with your posts…
I wouldn’t mind more in the future, but probably in a ratio of 1:10 posts…
I’ve enjoyed them too!Seo Administrator is an integrated suite of web promotion utilities that cover all aspects of website optimization and promotion.
I think it is a good thing to have guest posts. It gives different perspectives on relevant topics. Much like an offline magazine publication, having different writers provides the opportunity to read different writing styles while staying on topic.
Personally, I think that all top blogs get to the point where having different writing helps keep things fresh and interesting…
I think the guest posts were a tad bit under-developed, especially the KISS post.
I like the guest posts too!I think it is a good thing to have guest posts.Keep them coming.
I’m not a fan of guest posts, they either smack of self promotion or just act as filler for the main blog.
I like them. Guest posters have done a good job so far. Gives them an opportunity to show us what they are about.
Michael, you could do what SEOmoz did and have a seperate section for guest bloggers. Great benefits there
Liking them, and fun to see that 1) other folks are looking at sponsored link footprints and 2) you let that be published hehe. guess your clients are more subtle than that, Mike
?
p.s. Would like to write one for you blog.
And perhaps make it a series if you like it n the audience does
.
I like to see what people are saying. It’s a sure way to find out who you are reaching. Also, it’s nice to see that you review them before you post them. I hate coming across blogs that have profanity and unnecessary garbage like people arguing back and forth. Although entertaining sometimes it can get out of hand.
i agree with michael d.
Michael, how often do you read SEOmoz, and how often do you read their Youmoz section?
Does that answer your question?
