There is always a way to get free content, as long as there are people who are willing to write on your behalf. If you want free content, then you are going to have to ask people to write on your blog. This is not as hard as it sounds, and you will be surprised how many people jump at the chance to get a free backlink on another blog.

The best way to find websites where people are regularly adding content, is to go to Google, and enter a keyword for the topic you’d like content for. For example if you have a gardening blog that you are trying to get content for, then you would search Google for “garden tips”. The next thing you need to do is narrow that search down to the sites that have got recent posts. This way, you know that the blogs are updated regularly. You can do this by checking in the left sidebar on Google and searching only content from the previous week or month. Visit the site, and check that the writer is not sporadic.

The next step, you need to contact the writer, and ask them if they would be interested in writing a guest article on your blog, because you found their writing to be very high quality. As a thank you, you will let them put one image and one backlink to their own site.

You are losing nothing, and gaining everything from this deal. The traffic that clicks away from your site can be given the new site in a new tab or new window, so they will return to your site. Also, when you are having guest authors post on your blog – it looks like your blog is very popular in the community, therefore people are more willing to trust your other outbound links. In Google’s eyes, you have contextual outbound links, which builds your Trustrank rating.
