Project Summary: Guest blogging is one of the few remaining white-hat methods of building links, so it became a focus of the link-building program for a mortgage company based in Arizona.
Given our goal was to improve keyword rankings, we decided to conduct weekly outreach campaigns, and use a personalized approach that would earn us publication in magazines and major publications.
