Thanks for checking out GatorsNow.com. Here we mainly cover Florida Gators football and some basketball from time to time. I’m a huge Gators fan, but I like to think I look at them from a realistic point of view.

Guest Bloggers Wanted:

The question is asked why would I write a guest blog post on your blog–how is that going to benefit me?  Well, of course, it is added exposure to yourself as this blog does have very good traffic,  but it also will benefit your seo for your site as I will allow up to three  links in the post.   We will also list your twitter url in the post. The blogger who does the guest spot wins because it exposes him or her to a new readership, and if you link back to your blog or arrange to have a byline with a link in it,  you can directly draw traffic back to your own blog as a result.

All I ask is that your guest post be original in that it is your writing and has not been posted somewhere before.  It also cannot be a “cut and paste”. We are looking for opinion pieces on the Gators and other SEC coverage,  weekly match ups and opponent breakdowns. We are also open to listening to any other topic you would like to cover related to the Gators.

Post Length

Typically, posts can be of any length as long as they convey the message. I do recommend you have a minimum of 200 words. Keep in mind that posts that are too long can be daunting for readers, so a post lenght of  750 to 1000 words is a great length to attempt.

Editing

We regularly edit posts submitted to GatorsNow by our contributors and guest bloggers. We’re not going to rewrite your article but may make grammatical changes, minor edits, title changes, photo changes, and other changes. Don’t take it personally . . . we know our audience and know how to write successfully for the blog. If a post misses the mark completely or if it needs improvement, we will return it to you and say so. If there is room for improvement, we’ll let you know and suggest how to do so.

Exclusivity

In submitting a post to GatorsNow, we’re assuming that the post you’re writing is exclusively for use on GatorsNow.com and to be submitted to our BleacherReport account. We ask that you not submit duplicate articles or use any submitted work elsewhere. Of course, you’re welcome to write about the topic elsewhere, but your work should be unique for GatorsNow.

In-post Links

We will allow links in your articles if they are relevant to the topic you’re about which you are writing. We do ask that you link to any of your sources in order to give proper credit. Linking to your blog or website is okay, and we encourage you do to so to help promote yourself. Excessive linking is prohibited and anything that reaks of spammy nonsense will be rejected.

Byline / Signature

We want to help promote you as the author of your article, and as such, provide an opportunity to include a byline/signature on your posts. This may not be used as adspace. We’re looking for you to let people know who you are. We allow up to 2 links in the signature, but they may not be affiliate links or point to junk sites that are solely designed for promoting affiliate links.

We want to thank you for your interest in getting involved in GatorsNow, and hope that by sharing your work with us, we can in turn help promote you right back.
