1. 5 Actionable Guest Blogging Tips and Tricks to Follow In 2014
Guest Blogging – The art of getting your post onto other people’s sites is one of the things
that are often mentioned in internet marketing as a way to get more traffic and authority
for your site. The traffic arrives if you choose the sites you guest blog on carefully as does
the inferred authority. So what can you do maximize the chance of getting your guest post
accepted?
Guest Blogging Tip #1: Choose potential sites carefully
However you’re choosing potential sites to host your guest post, you need to spend some
identifying them.
Take a look around the sites and work out whether there’s any interaction between the sites
and its readers. Usually this is by way of comments and you need to check a few pages to
see whether or not the comments are helpful and contribute to the post made.
It also helps if the owner and the guest poster answer any question or points raised in the
comments.
Guest Blogging Tip #2: Lurk for a While
Much the same as you would do in a forum, go back to the site over the next few days and
get better taste for it.
This does involve time – there’s no shortcut for that – but can make all the difference
between finding a good sites or not.
Much like you wouldn’t spend time in a forum if you where the only one posting there, the
same applies to sites where you are considering submitting a guest post.
Guest Blogging Tip #3: Contribute
Once you have got a feel for the site, the next step is to contribute to it.
That means adding your helpful comments to some of the posts.
Keep a note of when you have placed a comments and how long it takes to approve.
Sites that automatically approve comments are unlikely to have the kind of quality control
standards that you’re going to need to make it worth your while submitting post.

posts for your own sites and article sites or that you have created guest posts already.
Follow the guidelines for you chosen site including writing style and length of the guest post.

amongst your best work, not some run of the mill stuff, as its showcase you.
