If you are a pro blogger then you must aware of guest blogging and its advantages, but if you are a newbie then this post will help you a lot to understand this term. Guest blogging is nothing but writing an article for a blog which you don't own. For this you have to look for the blogs which accepts the guest post.
In my opinion the guest blogging is one of the best techniques of improving SEO of your own blog. You should devote time for posting on other blog also. This will be beneficial for your blog and as well as for the blog you are writing for. Writing post for higher PR blogs will surely increase PR of your blog by having a do follow backlink from higher PR which is better than posting a link as comment on their post.
Here I am going to list some advantages of guest posting:
Traffic:
Every webmaster's first goal is to attract the reader and to get the more and more traffic. Guest blogging helps to increase the traffic because in every guest post you are allowed to have one or two do the follow links on their blog. Do follow are most important to improve Alexa rank and Google PR.
Name and Fame:
When you are only writing for your own blog there are many reasons that you are not known to other bloggers and readers, but at the same time when you are writing guest post you are known to the followers of the blog for which you are writing, hence by this you are gaining popularity among other bloggers and readers as well as.
If the people like your guest post they will surely look for your other posts which will increase your own blog's readers.
Backlinks:
Backlinks are the main factor to increase the factor to increase the Google PR and Alexa rank. Bloggers generally involve themselves in commenting on other blogs and forum but I think the guest blogging is far better than commenting because here you are sure to have do-follow link whereas in commenting sometimes it doesn't help.
Earning:
You can not only have traffic and backlink from guest post even you can earn money as well. By posting articles on higher PR blogs you can earn money by sharing your AdSense code with them. Some blogs allow guest bloggers to earn money from their guest posts. For this the bloggers have to associate their AdSense account with that blog, this will generate money for them by the ads on their specific guest posts.
Skill Improvement:
In this competitive blogging business, one should have to improve his/her blogging skills regularly. A blogger is not just a writer, a blogger have to be a learner also, who can learn from his experiences. We all know that we can't directly write a guest post, the blog owner evaluates our post then she/he tells us about the errors if there, here is my first point. Blogger's have to learn with these errors and second thing is SEO when you are logged in to a blog for guest post you will see some different environment of their keywords by this you can improve your blog also which will enhance your SEO skill.
