Has anyone Tried Guest Blogging?

I think it was because of a guest post that made my website #1 in google. It was a highly relevant website in the niche I was ranking for. It worked really well. It may be old school but it works oh so well if you can get yourself to email the webmaster.

Now a days Guest Blogging are not allowed not mostly good blogs .
So you have to buy blog posts on private blogs or do Web 2.0 posts .

There is loads of high quality sites that will accept guest posts, it just comes down to how you sell yourself and what THEY get out of your post

It's also down to scale, pretty much daily I get my team pulling sheets of 200+ sites to contact and we will get around 20-30 saying yes

If you have a load of social network sites like digg, twiitter then tell the site that you're more than happy to put the link through the sites

I used to do quite a bit, but it was incredibly time-consuming for very little reward.

If you look at the amount of time to write a decent piece of copy, and you compare that against that time spent leveraged with a good set of SEO tools, there's no competition in terms of SEO return.

Admittedly it can be a good way of building industry rep in certain areas. And can do wonders with small businesses when selling yourself as an expert.

I?m not sure why so many people are not getting replies to guest posts but as someone that accepts guest posts on my own blog and someone that publishes guest post I will give a few of my personal hints:

1. If you contact someone and they reply with we charge $$ for a post, ignore them and move on. A guest post is not a paid post, if you want to pay to post on someone?s blog then there are loads of places to do that including here at BHW.

2. As someone that receives several guest posts every day to my .co.uk home improvement blog I only publish well written unique content from UK writers. I target a UK audience in which I like to connect with them at a level that they are familiar with, ie:

Specialise ? Specialize. Biscuits ? Cookies. Film ? Movie. Postman ? Mailman. Wardrobe ? Closet.

Google are also well aware of UK, and US differences which is another reason why I only hire UK writers for my UK blogs.

3. A guest post is not an opportunity to promote your site, (at least you don?t want them to think that) keep your link in the authors bio at the bottom of the post IE: ?This post was written by Joe Bloggs who writes for mysite.com on all aspects relating to home improvements and DIY?

4. You do not have to be related to the niche, if you have a mobile phone site you can still write for car blogs, IE ?10 Reasons to Have A Mobile Phone Whilst Driving? and vice versa.

5. Make sure the content is unique, the only reason someone would accept guest post is to have free content and as a thank you a link in the authors bio is credited to you.

I have a 90% reply rate when contacting blogs owners for a guest post. I always keep my email to them short and use the blog owners name if possible, IE:

Hello Fred,
I noticed that you host the occasional guest post and was curious to know if you would be interested in a post related to "Living room design ideas" which I feel would fit well in your Home & Garden category.
I believe my post will appeal to your target audience and appeal to your regular readers. All that I ask is that I am able to place a link to MY BLOG NAME (myurl.com) in the text at the bottom of my post to credit myself as the author.
I hope to hear from you at your own convenience.
Kind Regards
Bob

It is important to use Google when finding guest posts as Google ranks sites/pages on quality, I personally use the following command:

"submit * guest post" "~broad keyword"

You can also use twitters search to find guest post opportunities, type the following into twitters search:

?guest post? keyword
