Welcome Blogging Experiment Readers - Guest Posting

Hey all….short and quick update to ask a favor and check out my first guest post on someone elses’ blog. I am a big fan of offering guest posting spots as well as writing guest posts for other people’s blogs so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and try it.

If you want to check out my article and read another great blog then check out my post on Success or Failure on the Blogging Experiment website.

I wrote an article about it a few weeks ago that touts the benefits of the guest posting for your blog and I feel even more strongly about it today. The benefits of guest posting are many but a few highlights are below:

Benefits of Guest Posting

Exposure - Puts your product in the face of a wider audience.

Relationship - Build a productive relationship with a fellow blogger.

Traffic - If the blog that you guest post on has a fair amount of traffic it is safe to say that some of them will click through and check out your material.

Credibility - If your writing is atrocious then chances are the host won’t choose to publish it anyways. Being accepted is a sign that your writing has something to offer.

Most of these are probably self explanatory so I won’t spend any time expounding on them. If you’ve been thinking about either accepting guest posts on your own site or offering up posts on anohter then I would highly recommend that you give it a try.

I will share my results over the next few weeks and let you know the impact, if any, that it has on my site.

That said check out my first guest post on a site that I enjoy reading regularly. I liked his site so much I purchased his theme and became an affiliate. If you like my theme then it is built on this base and the best part is that it is available for sale. Check it out here.

I am always open to accepting guest posting if your writing style fits with my blog and you have something to offer. Contact me via my contact page with details of what you have in mind if you are interested.

Nice guest post. I dropped it a comment and a stumble to show my appreciation.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Bill, once again, very nice post. I couldn’t agree with you more about guest posting. It’s a great benefit to both sides and as you said, it also helps with networking. Keep up the great work!

Great guest post you wrote over there. I was just telling my spouse yesterday that I see a lot of people dropping out, and I didn’t expect it to be so many. Out of all of the blogs I subscribe to, and like to read, over half of them rarely post. Or, they disappear. I did the whole wanting to quit over and over with my business’ website over a period of 6 years. I also have an “almost made it big” experience at a time I put it aside, that makes me want to kick myself sometimes. Anyhow. I have decided to pace myself completely different with my blog. What you wrote about charging batteries is so right on. We need to continuously inspire ourselves.

Thanks for your tips about guest-blogging.

Tamera…you are so right. I have 10 or 12 blogs in my reader right now that haven’t posted in a few weeks. I assume they have gone dark, they may not even know it yet.

I wonder if their is any value in contacting some of these bloggers to see if they want to sell their blogs? Definitely a head start on starting from scratch and probably some great domaiin names going to waste.

Don’t kick yourself too hard…hindsight always gives you much more clarity than you had at the time the decision was made. It’s frustrating but unavoidable.

Thanks for the comment….I am going to have another guest post shortly on blogtrepreneur.com too….in fact I will likely be posting on their regularly from now on.

You should check that blog out…it’s good stuff.

I would think that acquiring established blogs is an excellent idea. The topic of page rate has been discussed on your blog here earlier, and goodness there is much disagreement. It may be an idea to find blogs with decent PR that have recently been deserted (look more than siesta), and develop a good PR blog, developing that side, and playing the Google rules. In other words, playing in both fields. Both being tied to the same name and concept.
