How Was Guestr Built

| FAQ | October 10, 2011

Guestr is built on WordPress using the Classipress theme. We’ve added some custom features that automatically collect details when someone adds a website. These details include:

  • Alexa ranking
  • PageRank
  • Indexed pages in Google
  • Guest Poster Klout score

I know my way around WordPress and a little HTML and CSS, so this meant I could hack out a prototype using Classipress then get the developers in to add the custom features. All up, Guestr was built for under $500, which includes the custom development and the Classipress theme.

Who’s Behind Guestr?

| FAQ | October 10, 2011

Guestr was conceived and developed by Luke Moulton (that’s me). A little background; I’ve been working online since 2000, co-owned and run a web development business for 7 years, worked for The Man for a couple of years since then, including 9 months at Flippa.com where I learned a lot about marketplaces. I now run a number of smaller websites of my own, do some consulting and co-host one of Australia’s #1 Business Podcast’s (according to iTunes!).

Of course, I’ve have help from Val, my developer and Sam, my awesome virtual assistant.

Welcome to Guestr!

Welcome to Guestr.com, the Guest Posts Wanted classifieds!

About 12 months ago I went looking for guest post opportunities to help promote a small business marketing podcast I co-host. While many blogs provide people with the opportunity to pitch guest post ideas, it occurred to  me that there wasn’t a centralized website – a marketplace if you will, where website owners and wannabe guest posters and bloggers could exchange posts in return for profile and a backlink or two.

The idea of a “guest posts wanted” style classifieds stuck in my mind for sometime until a couple of months ago I decided it was high time turn this nagging concept into a reality. Thus Guestr was born.

If you’re a website owner, listing your website on Guestr is free. Until we build a decent size community, we want to make it as attractive as possible for website owner to list their website with us. Once we hit a couple of 100 website listings and build visitors numbers, then we’re going to consider introducing a listing fee. Nothing too steep, most likely around the $9 per month mark.
