According to Mondosol Guest Post Guidelines, adding links to reputable third-party sources strengthens your argument.

Our editorial team is cautious about promotional, self-serving, and call-to-action links. Links to people’s home pages for their companies are not allowed.

We reserve the right to modify or remove any link before or after publication, including adding rel=”nofollow” to any link. Lastly, links to websites related to pills/RX, porn, gambling, and payday loans are strictly prohibited.

Any columns accepted for publication must be exclusive to Mondosol. Yes your posts must be 100 percent original. This means:

• No plagiarism! We use CopyScape. If you’re caught once passing off someone else’s work as your own, you’ll get a warning. Do it again, and you’re gone and blocklisted.
• Also No self-plagiarism: You can’t “borrow” sentences from your own prior published content, or from company blog posts (or other written materials). If you’re going to use someone else’s words/thoughts, it must be properly attributed.

Note: As of May 2018, we no longer accept syndicated posts.

You are welcome to draw from your own experiences to come up with your own ideas and topics. Please discuss the idea with the Executive Editor to make sure nothing else similar is being worked on by another author.

Always try to go beyond the basics/obvious.

The most successful articles tend to be:

• Lists (e.g., examples, tips, tools, tactics)
• How-to articles/guides
• Explainer posts (e.g., what is… / why x matters)
• Expert roundups
• Opinion posts/commentary/think-pieces

All things considered, provide actionable tips and practical advice.

Also share your own experiences. Don’t rely heavily on quoting influencers, experts, or authorities from other sites.

Be the expert and make our readers go “wow.” Posts they can’t wait to share with their friends. Posts people won’t forget two seconds later.

Tip: Copy and paste your post into Grammarly, or Microsoft Word and run a spell check. In fact, we prefer these editing tools for catching sneaky misspellings, and extra spaces. Feeling extra word-nerdy? Use Hemingway Editor to check.

All posts will be marked “Sponsored” if you are writing to sell a product or recommend a particular product or service.

In case, you’re writing to share your expertise, information,  insights, and ideas with our audience your post will be marked as “Guest post”, or “Contributed”.

So when you write about an experience involving a client or business partner, you must disclose the relationship in the article.

Even If you have a relationship with a company or person mentioned in your post, you must disclose it. Examples of disclosures:

• Citing original data/research from your company: “(Disclosure: I work for [insert company name here])”
• “My case study features the Cleveland Zoo, a client of mine.”
• “My business partner, Grenevieve Focker, wrote the case study below.”

Here are the guidelines for how long your post should be depending on the type of post.

• Posts should be at least 1,000 words.
• Most posts that appear on Mondosol are between 1,500 and 2,000 words.
• We do love longer posts, but our editorial team is small and limited for time. So if you want to write an in-depth post that is 3,000 words, 4,000 words, or even longer, please ask for approval from the Mondosol Executive Editor first!

Note: Longer posts tend to get more pageviews, time on page, and social love. However, they also burn you out a lot quicker. Remember, you could probably turn that monster post into 3 or 4 more targeted posts instead!

The best posts are clear, concise and only as long as they need to be. After all, our readers are busy. Tell them what they need to know and get out.

1. Choose 5-10 words at the most.
2. Additionally you should be accurate and specific. …
3. Use present tense and active verbs, but don’t start with a verb. …
4. Also use infinitive form of verb for future actions. …
5. After all do not use articles – a, an, the.
6. Additionally do not use conjunctions like and – you can substitute a comma.
7. Your headline should be interesting enough to entice people to click on it.
8. It should be optimized also for search and social media.

Short little blurbs are the best! They’re super easy to get, drive your point home, and are perfect for all of us with short attention spans in this age of information overload. In the end:

• Try to be concise.
• Always try to keep your paragraphs short.
• So one sentence is fine.
• Also two sentences is typically OK. But no more than three sentences.

We love Yoast SEO, because it will highlight potential SEO and readability problems and areas for improvement.

Therefore this is what you need to worry about for your post:

• SEO Title: Make sure this matches your headline.
• Slug: This is the same as your URL/Permalink.
• Meta Description: Optimize for search and give readers a reason to click in 1-2 concise sentences.
• Focus keyword: What search query do you want to rank for?

Accordingly to best practices pick, at minimum, one WordPress category for your article. Additionally you may pick up to two relevant categories (e.g., if your post covers both SEO and Content Marketing).

As a matter of fact, please add an excerpt (maximum: 20 words) for every post. It can be similar to your meta description.

In fact, this is the description that appears on the Mondosol website when it publishes. If your excerpt exceed 20 words, it will end with a …

Also the Excerpt is located below the Yoast SEO box. (If you don’t see it click on screen options in top right and click Excerpt.)

We A/B test headlines – your main headline and two alternates. Alternate headlines must be less than 50 characters.

The Guest Post Guidelines requires a featured image (found on the right sidebar in wordpress) that is 1600 pixels wide and 840 pixels tall. Please preview your post before submitting it to make sure your featured image is formatted correctly.

• All in-post photos must be center-aligned, unless they are aligned with text.
• You can use images from Shutterstock (if you have an account) and sites that release all licenses (e.g. Death to Stock Photo, Unsplash, and Pixabay) only.
• Additionally you can use images that you created or photographs you took. Your own screenshots are great!
• No promotional images, therefore Images cannot have a company logo or brand.
• Additionally no external links on images.
• No memes. While we love memes, and there is debate on whether memes fall under ‘fair usage‘, we do not want to pay Getty copyright violation penalties. No memes please.
• Therefore Mondosol editorial team reserves the right to replace or remove images they deem irrelevant to the post or has negative connotation without prior notice.
• Also images must have proper attribution at the bottom of your post like in this example:

Image Credits

In order to avoid duplicate content issues with Google, we permit content to be republished 14 days after publishing on Mondosol. You MUST use a canonical link.

• If we find out authors aren’t writing their own posts, we reserve the right to reject or delete the post, as well as prohibit the author from writing for Mondosol going forward.
• We may add a disclaimer at the end of any article to disclose any relationships (or lack thereof) that either Mondosol or the author may have with organizations mentioned in the article.
• Mondosol can edit any post at any time to correct the byline, facts, or provide updates to published articles. Any changes made to a post will be noted with an editor’s note explaining the reasoning for the update or change, if applicable.

Once you submit your pitch and is accepted, we will send you an invitation to edit a Google Doc.

This Google Doc will be populated with your headline and filler text (comprised of helpful instructions for formatting, tips for writing, etc). In any case, you will write your guest post draft within this Google Doc.

After your draft is complete, you’ll send a quick email and the editing process will begin. Shortly we’ll make comments and suggestions right there in the Google Doc. And once finished, your post will be published. 

We’ll repeat as necessary.

Please Note: Your post will not be scheduled for publication until it’s met the Mondosol Guest Post Guidelines standards. Don’t feel bad. Even great bloggers like Jon Morrow get edited.

So if you prove to be a quality writer who actively promotes his/her guest posts and interacts with readers in the comments, Mondosol may ask you to write on a recurring basis.

• Contributors on the writing schedule: Posts are due 2 business days before your next publishing day.
• Ad hoc contributors: Our goal is ~2 weeks turnaround from the time you submit your post draft to publication.

So if you met the Mondosol standards for a Sponsored Article you will see the post published.

Therefore if you are a contributor of Mondosol and pressed that blue WordPress button “Submit for Review” you will see those post status:​

Submitted to Editor

When you’ve finished a post draft, you’ll press the big blue button. Your post will go through the first round of copyediting, link checking, and whether it passes our editorial rules above.

Copy Editor Reviewing

Basically this stage is where our Copyeditor gets out a red pen and corrects for:

• Typos, grammar, content flow
• Links: Evaluate the relevance of each link to the content. Avoid excessive repetition or self-promotion. Edit as necessary.
• Full disclosure. If you reference your company in the article, your connection as the author needs to be made clear. So instead of “ABC SEO published a case study…” it should read “My company, ABC SEO, published a case study…”.
