Becoming a Guest Blogger Has Its Benefits

Blogging is a great way to engage in the web design and seo market by being able to leave comments publicly and also to see what other peoples opinions are on a particular subject or topic. When you post a comment on a blog normally they are nofollow links which is completely understandable otherwise people would be spamming every blog form here to the edge of the world.

Still engaging in the community is a great thing to do and it really is a vital part of being a good seo professional. Also the nofollow links still do carry some weight with them and it has been suggested that a person who regularly engages in many blogs over a long period of time can acquire some good authority from the many nofollow links as it clearly shows he or she is an active member of the online community and is not bothered about just dofollow links.

Anyway this brings me to my point of guest blogging on other web designers or seo consultants blogs or news feeds on their websites. Why I hear you ask? Simply because they know that having their blog updated is a good thing for their website as it fresh content to be crawled. Also updating a blog on a daily basis is time consuming and after a while is a pain to do especially when you are very busy. This form of blog writing is a mutation of article marketing, as you are writing an article for someone else but distributing it on their blog.

The beauty of it really is that the website gets fresh content for free but also your guest blogger will be able to have one anchor text backlink going back to his website for 'payment' for doing a good article post on your blog.

The issue here is it is better if you know the person who wants to guest blog or you have had professional dealings with them before, but I am confident that if you email 20 web small companies who understand good seo, then you should be able to get one or two of them saying yes to you doing a guest blog for them perhaps once a month.

All in all we are after dofollow anchor text back links and what better way than getting a few sneaky links from websites related to seo for free.
