Guest Blogger Plugin For Your WordPress Blog
Love Blogging but need a vacation? Perhaps your blog hasn’t become the *HOTTEST* spot on the net with hundreds of bloggers begging to allow them submit content to it? Or perhaps you are just suffering from brain freeze and need a bit of time to re-evaluate your options all the while making sure you don’t lose your readers?
- What Do You Do?
- How Do You Find Quality Content For Your Blog?
Obviously you can use an option provided to you by WordPress to schedule a bunch of posts for the future publishing, you can get some PLR content and re-write it, you can hire someone to create content for you or…
You can install and take advantage of the options provided to your by
Guest Blogger WordPress Plugin
I love the idea so nicely implemented by this plugin. It simply allows you to search for quality content on one of the leading Article Directories (eZineArticles.com) using your designated keywords and then post them as Guest Blog Posts on your blog!
Some of the important highlights:
- TOS Compliant – this plugin allows you to be fully compliant with main requirement that eZineArticles.com sets – no more than 25 articles from their directory can be used on your site or blog (single domain) and it also retains all the links and properties of the links, as set in original article! Plugin simply counts and once 25 articles posted – it stops and while it does give you option to reset the counter – I don’t recommend it! You get FULLY LEGAL content, so please stay true to the “light side of force”
- Automated – process can be completely automated and every imported article can be set to be either in Draft or Published mode. I love automation!
- Quality Content – while not unique in this case, it will be a generally high quality content as people who submit to that directory do their best to keep content quality high and articles engaging to readers.
It does create a new user with same privileges as you have set under General Settings under “New User Default Role” – normally “Subscriber”. Just be aware of it so you don’t get alarmed when you see 25 new users created on your blog If you are a mindful of security – you might want to try using a =Current User= or =admin= as article author. See image below, as plugin used on one of my Niche Blogs:
You can download Guest Blogger plugin and see more details here or simply install it from the Add New Plugin interface, just do a search for “Guest Blogger” term.
Enjoy Your Well Deserved Vacation!

[...] Guest Blogger Plugin For Your WordPress Blog (howtospoter.com) [...]
Hmmm sounds like a neat plugin. I wouldn’t use it on my main blog, for fear of duplicate content, but I could see it being useful on supporting blogs. Getting unique content for a blog besides your main blog can be tough at times. I will look further into this and maybe even use it on some side blogs. Thanks for sharing the plugin!
Patrick Toerner´s last blog ..The Entrepreneur State of Mind – Video
Yep, was exactly my sentiment Patrick and I use it on my Niche blogs as right now I’m a bit preoccupied with other things – this one makes nice one to add. Just be sure to read the TOS for EzineArticles. There are limits for how many articles you can use per domain as well as how many domains maximum.
Looks good to me. Quality will always stand out.
Corve DaCosta´s last blog ..International Women’s Day
Now this is sweet, I JUST finished another article where I got 3 plugins related to guest posts and scheduled posts, and now this! All different functions too.
In case you or your readers are interested, its – http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....-notifier/ – the blogger links to one, mentions another and a commenter “blazing minds” mentions a third.
Thanks Alex!

Luke Allen´s last blog ..Panasonic TX-P 42 S 10
Thanks Alex, Amazing discovery, I just checked on the TOS of Ezine and here is the most relevant info: You can only use 25 articles from their site per year per unique domain that you own. If you own 100s of Domains yo must limit to 250 articles per year (10 sites x 25 articles reprinted per domain), also you have to add the nofollow on every link of the article,
Hope it helps, I am going to try it today, Ill let you know how it goes.
Thanks Again for sharing
Jadah´s last blog ..Turning yourself into a Remote Control
Thanks for the info! Like a previous commenter, I would be afraid to have duplicate content! Am I right that duplicate content could be a strike against your blog?
Jay, please search this blog for “duplicate content” as I have already shared my opinion on it several times and it might help you make up your own mind
This is exactly what I need, a guest blogger and a holiday. The hardest thing is letting go. I’m investigating my options now. Thankyou for you useful info.
One real plugin that helps in improving content as well!!
Thanks Alex for the share. We at TechChunks.com have recently opened gates to guest bloggers. Hope this guest blogging plugin would be useful in that regard. Thanks a lot!

Well, it is more of a content provision when no guest bloggers available
I never thought of having guest bloggers. That seems like a great idea. The more content the better I guess.
The plugin really does look good, but I most likely will not use it for myself. As Im wanting to keep my webmaster blog completely ran by me.
Joshua Pitts´s last blog ..Good and Bad Ways to Advertise
I wonder it will hurt the page rank of your site over time if you have too many articles that are duplicates? I think I might try it on one of my sites about saving energy and see if I can get a few guest posters there.
Nolan´s last blog ..What Are The New Shale Gas Discoveries About?
Nolan,
This plugin restricts you to 10 posts per year / per blog to com[ply with the TOS of the ezinearticles.com. As long as you stay within guidelines — I think you will be fine
hey thnx for sharing….

Duplicate content is really an issue here, i think that you one should think twice (or maybe more) before using this one. I would highly NOT recommend it.
