Guest Blogging Effectively

Hello everyone, today I just want to run over how i think guest blogging should be done so that it is effective and worthwhile for your business. Many people allow you to guest blog in random website all over the Internet however while they are sometimes worth doing so you can get a good anchor text link from them, I feel that you should try and focus on a few well known blogs that are directly related to your market, so that you can get a good following on there and earn some good link juice to.

For example being in the affordable seo services market I have found that I know a good few web companies that all have bogs on their website and for me to request to guest blog for them once a month would be more than welcome. This is a really good relationship to develop as it allow them to get some good content on their website but also I will get a good link back to my own website. So if you can build up a good amount of blogs to be able to get these guest blog slots on then you can definitely get some good links and traffic from them.

Also do not be afraid to let someone guest blog for your won website either because the same thing goes here again. Firstly it allows you to do something else with your time instead of blogging which can be a nice change of pace and also having someone else write a blog post can add a new twist to a topic and make your blog more diverse.

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.
