Guest post is an instant traffic trigger gun for any blog. It’s becoming trend to write a Guest post on a blog to bring a lot of immediate traffic. Even I also did the same tactics for my blog. I write guest posts on several blogs and I got great traffic and subscribers on my blog. Guest post is also a source of quick back link also and you get exposure also. But there are few things which you should take care while writing guest post on any blog.
How To pick Blog for Guest Posting?
Well, this is very crucial question: Is picking any random blog from the blogosphere is really worth? Answer is no. Criteria should not be high traffic or high page rank blog. We should have some idea of articles on blog before choosing any blog. Suppose I am a regular reader of some X blog then I know what kind of articles the blog is publishing so that I can apply for the same kind of articles. If I apply for guest article in blog Y but I don’t have any idea of writing behaviour(style of writing) or earlier post then I can’t synchronize my self to write any blog post. I can’t give any back links to a post which are present already on a blog.
Write the guest post
Choose a blog, write a guest post. Make it clear that the topic on which you are writing wasn’t published before on the blog. Make your content new and unique. Don’t afraid of being rejected by the author. In chance your article get rejected, you could apply for the guest posting on other blog or you can publish it into your blog. If get rejected ask for feedback, some blog owner are kind enough to give feedback and are of improvement.
Things to keep in your mind
There are few things you should keep in your mind, I am emphasizing on writing guest post on your favourite blog because you should know all the activities going on the blog. You may give back links to previous articles. This would be good in terms of SEO of the blog. In this way you could make a blog more credible in owner’s eyes. Don’t use any promotional links which are heading towards your own blog. This is a poor guest post strategy to promote your blog.
How to contact blog owner
If you know the blog owner very well then you can ask for permission for guest posting on his blog. If the owner of blog didn’t know you then you should write an email along with your guest post attached in a Microsoft Word format. You should ask blog owner to publish your blog post. Don’t forget to write your email ID and your social networking information in the signature.
You email should look like:
Note down the signature below: It has your name, email, your blog address, your Twitter , Facebook andFriendfeed ID. The owner may check your blog or they could check your social activities and there they can know your involvement in the social media activities.
Subscribe on Youtube
Editors note : A clever strategy would be , contact the owner and ask him if he is accepting the guest post and along with it, give a link to your best articles. Also mention the article title. This will make the process easy.
