Guest Posting | A Win-Win Game

Guest posting is a common practice among bloggers—but what does it really do for you and your site?

• Increased Traffic

Guest Posting is a two-way street and can increase traffic in both directions. When you guest post on another blog, your readers will likely go there to read it (as long as you promote the post on your own blog). In return, if the readers of the other blog like your article, you may gain new readers and increase your audience.

• Fresh Content

Keeping up with a blog can be hard. Sometimes letting a guest write on your blog can create a change of pace, or spark a new topic of discussion, as well as providing content for your readers that offers a different perspective. Google gives the advantage to pages with regularly updated material; so don’t let your site become stale. Rather than trying to get people to link to your old content, make content that people want to link to.

• Backlinks

Most bloggers will let you include a link or two when you write for their site. By putting a link with an important keyword on the other blog (which, hopefully, has good ranking), you can improve your ranking for that keyword. Google recognizes the value of gaining links from a variety of places, so guest post on multiple sites, and your site’s ranking will go up.

• Building Relationships

Though SEO tactics are constantly changing, one thing is certain; forming mutually beneficial relationships with other bloggers in your niche will always prove to be valuable. By offering guest posts, you not only gain a link, but a resource. By building relationships, you establish yourself as an authority in your niche, and the links will soon start to come naturally.

While guest posting shouldn’t be your only SEO practice, it’s an excellent place to start. Use Google’s blog search tool to find blogs that fit your interests and get started. Many blogs have information on how to submit guest posts; otherwise, getting in touch with the blog owner via a “Contact” page is a good place to start.
