Does Link Building and Guest Posting Mix?
When a blog allows someone else to write blog posts, that is guest posting. Of course the content needs to be unique and relevant. Guest blogging will provide quality one way backlinks and should increase quality traffic as well.
Guest Blog Post
Some tips are:
- Treat it as a privilege (because it is) – If I was a guest blogger I would feel the need to step up my game, because you want to impress the website and its visitors. Most people can get lazy when they write on their own blog.
- Create valuable content – It is obvious you would need to create unique and quality content, but go one step further. You know the difference between a regular blog post, maybe even one that was thrown together in 5 minutes vs. one that looks like it took a week to write. In terms of link building, a great post can go a long way.
- Teach people something – When you are able to teach someone something new or even explain something they already know in a different way, that can get people interested in your writing. Maybe you can start from scratch and take a step by step approach. Do not just recreate the same thing that can be found in other blogs. Most do try to promote themselves in their writing, and that is ok… just make sure the links go with the content naturally.
- Easy reading – Not that I am saying anything new here, but I have read many blog posts that have me scratching my head. If you can give details and write things out in bullets or numbering, it just makes the whole thing easier to read and understand for most.
If you need to create quality content, but do not have the time or expertise, there are plenty of article writing services. Might still have to do some editing, but it will save some time.
In the end, this type of link building does work. You will get your content shared and the links will start to increase. As this happens, your traffic will also start to increase as well, which will lead to even more backlinks.
Writing a good blog post takes time. I agree, it nmust be informative to have value.
I allow gues posting on my blogs, it takes more time to manage the sites but its a good way to get good content.
This is a great way to go if you have quality content to write about
I also havent looked into this, but it does seem to be a great idea. probably isnt easy to get into good sites though.
never thought of this, will have to try it
I guest post all the time and it works great
it only makes sense that this works as long as you choose quality sites to post for
I was thinking of allowing people to start posting on my blogs… might take a chance.

I too started guest posting and instantly started seeing higher rankings… hard part is finding sites to post to though
I write all my own posts. But I do believe I might try guest posting. My visitors have suggested as much in their comments. Maybe I’ll even try it on one of my own sites. The thing is, I hardly find the time to write enough posts for myself… lol.
I have been guest posting for about 2 yrs now and have seen great results from it. but you have to write quality content and dont write about the same stuff over and over
Hi this is very useful information that I will put to use on my blog. This is very much appreciated, Tony.
Sounds like a lot of work
