A new large client – Their website is almost done with an internal WP blog inside it. They are used to being #1 on Google with their keywords but they were paying about $1000 a month for this service. Adwords were not part of that fee. They were part of an on-line directory which also provided the SEO service.

I have emphasized it is important to belong to all directories that their competitors are listed in starting with the free level and deciding which are important enough to take a paid level. These directories offer a lot of keyword rich content for the industry they are in which helps bring their site up, and, in doing so, all those links as well.

I need to find ways to draw bloggers to write for their blog.

Any advice on where to look for guest bloggers, how much would be an appropriate payment, and any other help would be much appreciated.

It is not a technical subject but more of a personal sensitive type subject.

@michellefontaine Also look for niche bloggers. Especially ones that seem to have a clue and maybe not be so well known. If you give a chance to an aspiring blogger like that, it could have huge impact as it helps them out, helps you out, and they probably won’t expect a fee. As to the whole search bit, organic search always does better. Redo things to make that better and over time they will be rewarded.
