Postrunner Goes It Alone
The guys at the Keyword Academy have decided to spin their Guest Blog Post network – Postrunner – off on its own so anyone who joins the Keyword Academy from now on will not get membership included (as far as I understand).
They are doing this so they can use resources to expand the network and promote it more heavily. Not sure if this is the right thing to say in a Postrunner review post but , I have to say I really like Postrunner, their system is easy to follow and there are usually blogs in every niche that you are looking for. I like that they have a scoring system, so in theory the badly spun dross won’t get through the doors and that is a good thing.
I think their image below explains the system better than I can..
I for one will be using Postrunner as much now as I did under the old system. It does require work but a lot less work than finding blogs to do guest posts on in the traditional way.
Even though you are paying to use Postrunner I do think you should still do all you can to promote the posts it benefits you and him.
How Do I Choose Which Sites To Send My Articles To?
Well for one thing, pick the ones on topic! I have a site in their network which is aimed at weddings and someone sent me an guest post on repairing foundations in Texas.
Page Rank is important , we do not have any other really easy metrics to measure sites by so this one will always be around. I would send content to a PR0 if the site was not 100% guest posts and looked ok.
What % of content is from postrunner – If a site has 100% of their content from the network I would look for somewhere else first as I like to see sites with at least some of their own content
Looks matter – If a site looks like it is made for adsense purposes with a super stark layout (designed to push people to click the ads) and no social interaction at all then I will look for another site.
I am not saying I would never post to these sites, I am just suggesting that if you have limited amount of posts to send out then you want to make sure they go to the best sites you can find.
I have been a member of Postrunner for around a year and I would join it again in a heartbeat – If you are thinking of joining Posturnner why not use my link!

Paul,
I’m glad that they’ve started a separate service. I’m thinking about checking it out. I wonder if it will work to drive traffic or if it’s just for links.

Thanks for your comment, I think you would have to do some homework beyond the usual “what PR is it” to see whether you would get any traffic from the site but that may well be worth it.
Join at their free level and get a feel for their system would be my advice

I am concern whether Google will penalize us for using this ?

Hi Sadia
I don’t think they can really penalize you for guest blogging , as long as that is not the only links that you are getting..
Link diversity is important and as far as guest blogging goes, I would only use blogs that are on topic.
Thanks
Paul
