I wouldn't be concerned so much about PA/DA as I would about trust flow and topical trust flow.

Attached is the PA/DA of one of my sites....looks awesome right? I manipulated those metrics with SPAM links. Does it rank? Absolutely but you definitely wouldn't want that thing linking to your site. The point is that everything can be manipulated.

This brings me to my initial point when I started buying up local domains for the purpose of linking. None of those sites are strong by any means, but why would they be? You aren't going to have a local garden supply store with an absolute powerhouse of a website, that in itself would be unnatural. But what they do have are those local type links from businesses, newspaper articles etc that give local trust which is what you need to rank for local terms.

Now, with that being said, guest blogging can be done with the idea that the site COULD become strong at some point in the future. When you guest blog (using the metrics of PA/DA since you referred to them) you would be starting with a PA of 0 anyway since the page would be brand new. Just something to think about.

I am surprised not many are taking this offer in this forum.

Guest posting with a contextual link for a trusted site is way better. It's natural too.

Everyone should be jumping on this.

Why are you guys guest posting amongst yourself? Unless you specialize in commercial and try to post on some other blog that specialized in residential, or similar (sub-niches).

Try talking to other tradesman in your area. Being local is another great advantage.

Being in Texas and writing for a roofer in NJ is just OK, but it would better if you are a carpenter in NJ and writing for a roofer in NJ.
 
Anybody that is interested just send me a PM.

Even if you don't have a blog section on your website, I'll set everything up for you for free.

Niche relevant links are powerful, we can even do a cross promotion on the Social profiles to provide social signals for the website

Facebook
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned but one more great way to find opportunities is to go to Google and search for "keyword blog write for us". And example would be "roofing blog write for us". You could do a ton of variations of that. "roofer blog guest blogger" etc.
 
Hey, I was banned for a few weeks for posting a link about this topic. So I guess PM me if you are interested about posting on our blog, and I'll share it with you.

We are looking for roofers to guest post on our blog, and we are also interested in guest posting on other roofing sites. I could share lots of other great strategies but I'm afraid this message might be deleted to, so I'd rather not put in the effort.

Best of luck everyone!
 
Yes, I'd say that is the bare minimum if you hope to get repeat visitors. I think people expect at least that much from an "active" blog. But you can put together 3-5 posts all at once, then schedule them to be published at a given date.

We update our blog whenever we want, because we're doing it more for the content creation & raking than for the return readership. But we do send out our email blast every other week letting people know about our most recent post(s).

I have researched these topics and they will increase local search traffic to your site and Google loves fresh content.

The only thing that I ask, is that I am allowed to link back to my blog (roofermarketingguide.com) This site will never compete with you in your market. I can only do about 2 guest post a week because that is all my schedule will allow.

Also, if you want to get a powerful back link to your website and want to feature an article on some of my websites that have high DA, you are more than welcome to. Just contact me.
 
How often do you update your blog? I have heard that it is a best practice to update your blog with a new post at least once a month. What are your thoughts?
I write 1 per month. I have 10 ready and will do 15 more. In the near future I would like to post 2 per month. I am interested in guest post from other people.
