3. Introduction
Today we are going to talk about a way you
can increase your websites traffic and
Google ranking in a short time frame.
The main thing to remember is that you
have to take action and do this method
consistently.
4. What is Guest Blogging?
• Guest blogging is where you write an article
and submit it to a blog that is relevant to your
website.
• Within the article at the bottom you will
include an author bio where you can tell a
little bit about yourself or your company and
put a link to your website.
5. Benefits of Guest Blogging
• Build relationships and credibility with the bloggers
in your niche and the readers of the blog you guest
post on.
• Gain exposure for yourself and your company from
people who are interested in what you are doing.
• Relevant quality traffic will come to your website,
and you will get people to opt in to your email list or
even better yet buy your product or service.
• Your Google ranking will increase because of the
quality backlinks you are getting.
6. Why are you doing Guest
Blogging?
• Before you do guest blogging you want to decide
on why you are doing it.
• If your goal is to get more subscribers to your
email list, that is different compared to getting a
higher Google ranking.
• If you are trying to get more subscribers to your
email list it is probably best to post on a popular
blog in your niche that gets a lot of traffic, but if
you are trying to get a higher Google ranking it is
probably best to do a guest post on several
smaller blogs in your niche.
7. How do I Find Websites to Guest Post
on?
• Technorati is a great directory to use when searching for
big blogs to guest post on.
• Google Blog Search is a way you can find blogs in your
niche by simply searching for your niche.
• My Blog Guest is a place where you can submit your
content as well as look for blogs to post your content on.
• The Content Facilitator is a new website where you submit
your content and then bloggers will see your content and
decide if they want to post your guest post or not.
• Search engines are a great place to find blogs to guest post
on by searching terms such as guest posting guidelines +
your niche, submit guest post + your niche, guest blogging
+ your niche.
8. Coming Up with Topics to Guest Post
On…
• Yahoo Answers is a great place to look for questions people are asking
about your niche, and then you can write an article answering that
question or a couple of questions that go together.
• Read posts on top blogs in your niche, and then that will naturally help
you come up with ideas.
• Forums are a place where people are always asking questions, so look for
good questions you can answer in an article.
• Below a post there are going to be comments where people are asking
questions which you can use for ideas for your post.
• People are always sharing content they enjoyed on social media sites like
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google +. Look for those pieces of
content, and from there you can come up with another idea or share your
tips on the topic they were talking about.
• Ask your fellow readers by posting on social media sites, emailing your list,
posting on your blog, or asking one of them directly what they want to
learn more about.
9. A Few Important Rules to Follow
• Write a post, and then ask the blog to publish it along with a pitch
on why the should. A lot of people will ask if they can do a post
before they write one, but many bloggers like looking at a finished
post and you will notice a higher success rate.
• Always write unique, and quality content that is well thought out
because remember you are trying to attract their readers to come
to your website.
• Make sure you take the time to respond to comments that people
leave below your post.
• Research that blog before doing your guest post by reading several
of their guest posts so you know what kind of content they like, the
length of the content, how many links are allowed in your author
bio and rules like that. Sometimes a blog will have guest posting
guidelines which is giving you the rules on a silver platter, but that
often isn’t the case.
