Recently I came to
know about the Guest Blogging but I don't know anything about it at that time.
It took me week time to gain knowledge about it. I didn't do any Guest posting
till now to date of publishing this article. But I want to share some
information about the Guest Blogging.
GUEST BLOGGING?
Guest Blogging - in
my words I define it as "writing good articles and posting or publishing
them on others Blog spot or Website for free and it up to the decision of the
Blogger to decide whether to publish that article or not".

Blogging has some of the rules or guide lines, they are - “Author should
provide Unique content and Blogger should not Edit the Article without prior
permission from the Author except the minor Grammar mistakes."
Guest posting has
many advantages to Bloggers and the Authors. The four reasons why Guest
Blogging is a key strategy to every blogger is:
1. FREE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT:
It is main advantage
of the blogger who offers others to Guest post in his Blog, where he can get an
Exclusive and free content without doing any work about that topic. This helps
to increase the content of the blog without any hard work.
2. NETWORK WITH OTHER BLOGGERS:
This Guest posting
and adding value to someone's Blog helps to connect with other efficient
Bloggers and maintain good relationship with the other Bloggers. With this
large number of conversations on Internet between takes place which makes them
friends. By this we are going to develop Influence over social media and leads
to more Blog subscribers.
3. TARGETED TRAFFIC FROM SEARCH ENGINES:
In order to get
benefit of getting traffic from Search Engines Guest Blogger must ask the Host
Blogger to "Include a link to your Blog in the somewhere i.e., usually at
the begging or at the end of the post". This Linking is called back link.
This Back linking raises the value of your Blog over search engines and it is
to fin over Google, Yahoo, Bing....etc.
4. INTRODUCTION TO NEW COMMUNITIES:
If you are writing
good posts in the Host Blog that makes the people in that community as the
readers, fans and followers of your Own Blog which leads to the construction of
your own Empire and Reputation. It is because due to the established community
of the Host Blog and Good value of your post.
Suggestions for Host Bloggers:
If your are
allowing people to Guest Post in your Blog then you must be care full of the
below things and check them one or more times before publishing that article
from the Guest Bloggers........
a) UNIQUE AND DETAILED CONTENT:
Some of the Bloggers are not good writers and not have adequate knowledge, but
they write the articles and offer them to the Guest Blogs. At that time the
Host Blogger must check and verify that content provided by the Guest Blogger
is Unique and whether the detailed description about the topic is given or not.
b) DON'T GIVE THE AUTHOR ACCOUNTS:
It is biggest
mistake that is done by the Host Bloggers, because some of the Authors are not
honest and can be bribed easily and the content in our Blog gets effected very
adversely like posting Spammy links and deleting some piece of the content from
our Blog. If you want to give Author Accounts for the purpose of time saving
then make sure that Authors only ability of saving content as Draft.
c) OWNING OF THE CONTENT:
As the Host Blogger you should demand for the owning of the content of the
Guest Post. If the Author Links the Guest Post from his/her Blog then that is
good for giving the credit of writing, as long as you own the content there is
no issue. Owning of the content of the Guest Post doesn't allow people to write
same content in their Blog or Other people sites.
d) SHOULD BE STRICT IN SELECTING:
Although you are
getting many requests for posting the Guest articles in your Blog you must be
very strict and selective during the pick of the Posts from Guest post's. The
Guest Posts must be free from spelling mistakes and Grammar errors. We should
select the guest posts in a way that it should maintain the theme of our Blog
and improve the Blog traffic. It is useless of Guest Posting if you choose any
unrelated topic to your Blog.
Suggestions to Guest Bloggers:
It is based upon
the interest of the Bloggers whether to write Guest Posts or not. If the Blog
is having good enough Posts with good value to the posts and getting good
traffic for the written content then I think it is not necessary to Write Guest
Posts. Otherwise it helps a lot.
But life is race
where one should try for better choices in everything. In this aspect it is
good to write Guest Posts in some of the famous Blogs with good content without
Grammar and Spelling mistakes.
At that of writing
a Guest Post in any Blog or Website one should have to follow some guidelines
for the improvement of the Traffic to your Blog......
a) You can ask the
Host Blogger to Post the Back links of your Blog Posts in the Guest post of
you. This helps in redirecting of traffic to your Blog.
b) You can withhold
rights of your post, so that Host Blogger cannot make any changes in the
content of the Post without your permission.
c) Ask permission
from the Host Blogger to Link the Posts from your Blog or Website so that
Credit of writing can be gained by you.
Yes, Guest Blogging
really can grow the traffic of the Host and Guest Blogs/Websites by growing
your Blog with Quality content and maintains good relationship among Bloggers.
In the Final, it is good to promote the Habit of Guest Posting in Every aspect
as it has many advantages if you follow the above mentioned guidelines.
