Guidelines for Authors:
Hive Health Media is a dynamic and emerging content provider across a growing network of health and fitness blogs. Our aim is to inform members of the general public with healthy living tips and news for health promotion..
In order to maintain a good, steady supply of up-to-date information, we are happy to publish original articles.
DO NOT submit content that has been previously published at another site including your own blog or that is plagiarized from another website. We do not publish DUPLICATE content.
We are particularly interested in articles from personal trainers, fitness experts, doctors, researchers, and health care professionals, as well as knowledgeable and passionate bloggers.
Topics that we’re interested include health and fitness related articles, news, tips, instructions, in addition to more lighthearted and entertaining posts. Since we also cater to health & fitness bloggers, we also consider articles with social media, blogging, and search engine optimization advice.
Update: Hive Health Media is now a source for Google News. If you would like to maximize your guest blogging exposure, we’d encourage you to submit articles on current health news topics.

Tips for Guest Blog Authors:
If you’re going to submit a guest blog post to our site, here are a few things to keep in mind. First, we only accept original content. What is original content? Basically, it includes articles that have not been published previously on other blog sites including your own. Republishing content on your own site later is not a good idea for you since it will hurt your SEO.
- Don’t include more than 2 relevant links in your article submission. (one author bio link and one in content)
- Again, there’s no need to worry about adding images, tags, or categories…
- Article lengths should be a minimum of 500 words.
- If your article mentions specific research studies, please include a reference to that study in your blog post submission.
- We appreciate it if you respond to questions in the comment section of the post.

Update December 26, 2010:
We’ve had a problem recently with people submitting duplicate or plagiarized content as a guest post. Remember, writing guest posts is NOT article marketing. If you’re looking to recycle blog posts, you’re welcome to submit your content to EzineArticles, ArticleBase, Buzzle, etc.
For those who don’t comply with our guest posting policies, we’ll remove your author account and any links you’ve added to your post.
