From the page: "In addition to link benefits, there are other advantages to guest blogging. You might get a couple visits to your website from the post. Even if the number of visits from the referring link is small, these visitors will be highly relevant and very interested in your services.
You also might find other opportunities to boost your search engine presence. With a little SEO work, you might see your guest post ranking among the top search results along with your own website. Whatâ€s better than ranking #1 for your favorite search term? Ranking #1 and #2.
If you write something particularly insightful or helpful, you might generate more guest blogging opportunities. As you establish yourself as an expert in your field, more blogs might want you to share your expertise on their sites. And more guest posts mean more quality, relevant links.
Whatâ€s in it for the Blogs?
With all these advantages for the blogger, why would anyone let you be a guest blogger- whatâ€s in it for them? There are SEO advantages for the host blog, too, including:
* More content without much effort (every blogger suffers from writerâ€s block now and then).
* â€oePage freshness” SEO benefit. Google seems to push newer content to the top of the search engine listings. If your blog has a new post, it may get a little extra (if temporary) love from Google.
* More exposure as the guest blogger promotes your blog. If they promote the post through their social networks, those â€oesocial mentions” can give your blog a boost in the search engine listings, too.
* Exposure to new topics or insights from a new writer. If you start a conversation on a new topic relevant to your industry, you might find other blogs linking back to the post.
Guest blogging is a simple and effective technique, and is a small investment that yields significant advantages for both SEO and PR. So, with all the benefits of guest blogging, why not give it a try? Click here to submit a guest post topic for Scottâ€s blog."
