When I first started I wrote a few Guest Posts because I wanted the Backlink, pure and simple. Although my writing has been well received, I have found that Commenting has brought me more actual traffic, by far, than Guesting.
It’s all becoming a mishmash of blog-hopping I think of it as the Free Blogging equivalent of Swinging for geeks. How much of that is for SEO, traffic building, reputation building, etc, is difficult to say. Much of it I believe is more Fad than anything concretely strategic. That’s my opinion because it’s connected to this one: I think a lot of bloggers want traffic for its own sake, but don’t really know what to do with it once it arrives (beyond having fun with the comments. Too many are asking around to GP and then pretty much just “phone it in” once accepted.
So, here are the Golden Rules of Guest Blogging:
Bring value to the Table
Why the hell would I want you to write for my blog? Well, there could be good reasons. Here are some that I consider useful... You have an incredible idea that captures my imagination
You have references of superstar, strong enough so that my blog would be very impressive just to host your name on it.
You have amazingly strong on Twitter or StumbleUpon or other places that can generate traffic and links to my blog.
I can't write for the life of me and I need good writers that will impress people with the quality of the post. I have a schedule of publication far too ambitious to cover everything myself What you have to offer? At the risk of looking like a horse, explore the blog; you will quickly learn what might or might not be useful. For example, on this blog,you will immediately see that I write very well and that "ambitious" is an antonym of my publishing schedule. You will notice also that I rarely take on guest posts, then you'd better be ready to really 'Wow!' me if you hope to escape my rocked.
Approach bloggers who welcome you
I am not the only blogger who does not take account of most client postings. But there are many bloggers who avidly invite guest bloggers try searching Google for your keywords as well as the 'client' or «reviews blog» Or go on guest blogging forum of Ann Smarty where many of the most impatient hosts are already waiting for you.
Write wells
If you write trash, will accept your post on a blog Trash. You get what you pay for. Or what you write for. Or what you scribble for. This falls under the heading of "what'swhat's the occasion not an opportunity? ''
That’s true. Those Golden Rules I think would be very effective. Well, if you want to produce quality articles by hitting the point of a certain topic, the first rule would I think be effective. Why? How can you write something if you don’t have any idea about the usual topics that they cover? Second, writing is not just writing. You write to entertain your readers and that’s the role of the second golden rule. If you can’t satisfy your readers by your write-ups, well, I guess you need to find something interesting for them not to get bored in reading your story. In that case, you use your imagination. Then, write. It’s up to you how you are going to present your story in a way that readers will have an interest in reading it.
Interesting subject, though. Thanks.
