If you want to maximize your web exposure, it is essential that you do some blogging off your own turf. What most bloggers either don’t know, or forget, you should become a guest author on other people’s blogs. Making guest posts, has the potential to increase your web traffic up to 10 times more than just blogging on your own turf!
Not only do you increase the traffic volume that your blog receives, you’ll promote your site and do some name branding at the same time. However, you’ll need to stay within niches that are related to your blog topic niche. Now, that is effective promotion and marketing!
Most bloggers chase down the typical links such as, blogroll, sitewides, footer, sponsors, sidebar, etc. I won’t argue that they aren’t effective, because they do produce positive results. However, these types of links aren’t usually permanent. You’ll have to repeat your backlink making steps over and over, time and time again, to get new links and/or to replace the ones you lost. Furthermore, these types of links don’t offer much to the search engines as far as, quality content is concerned! Making a guest post on a site that has a related niche, provides you the means of building quality content on established and trusted sites. Therefore, you end up borrowing the sites trust and authority status, that you make your post on. Since the search engines trust this site, you are more likely to get maximum SEO benefits!
If we look closer at this, you will see that the blog post has the potential of obtaining PageRank. When this occurs, you have just acquired a couple of backlinks pointing at your website. This has the makings of some quality backlinks, and it passes some Google juice back to you as well.
On the Spunky Jones SEO Blog, you are able to include two backlinks per guest post that you make. You get full create for your guest posts, and you also receive your own author page. The blog author’s page, lists all blog authors that make guest posts and links to their profile page.
