What is guest articles?

First of all: Let's define our terms. "Guest Article" means writing an article on someone else's website or blog and publishing it.
I give this (occasionally) on my own website and do it quite a bit on other sites of people I want to talk to. It's a great way to connect and get your name out of the new readers.
Yet I ignored the critical discipline for growing a popular blog for the longest time. I wish I wouldn't have. And I am sure you will not.

Guest Articles is great for search engines

The one you should have for guest-Articles is this: The host blogger must include a link to your blog somewhere in the post (usually at the beginning or end). Over time, these backlinks will increase your blog's value to search engines, making it easier to find your content through Google, Yahoo, Bing and others.

First rule is to be a good guest

When I post guest for someone else, I do the following: Link to my blog post Promoting it on Twitter (several times) Share it on Facebook Thanks to the person Stick around and answer comments on the post While not everyone does this, it's not a bad idea. But this is important: if you have to choose to get people to post guests elsewhere on your website or post guests, do the latter. Putting your name out into new communities is always easier.
