Why Guest Post for SEO?
Guest Posting and SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a great tool for building an audience as I'm sure you know because of just how many people search every day and the way you build your search engine optimization build your rankings and link Authority is by getting links getting high authority links that's going to get you up to the top.
Well, guest posting is a great way to get high authority links from other blogs in your market or niche. Other people who have been noted as authorities and you can build your audience at the same time.
So the first thing you're going to gain link Authority because you're going to have authoritative bloggers posting your article that links back to you.
These authors probably have a good deal of exposure and you're going to get some brand awareness which is great getting your name out to the world. Also, if these sites have good traffic you're going to see a spike in traffic any day you do a guest post.
This is something that I see quite a lot any time I do a guest post. I get this huge surge of traffic because people on other blogs that have a lot more authority than mine are going to come and click through and see that and say.
“Wow! That was great content and I'd like to learn more about this author”
So, you will get link authority, brand awareness and getting referral traffic by simply posting to a guest blog.
What is Guest Posting?
When we're talking about guest posting, it simply means that, when one blogger allows another blogger or an author to post an article to their blog.
So, when you write something up and give it to someone else to post on their blog.
Guest blogging is a great tool for both people because the owner of the blog is essentially getting free content which is great it's just one less article that he has to write and also you as a guest blogger is going to get exposure to an untapped audience.
You will get a whole bunch of people over there that read that blog that might not know about you yet so writing an article and getting in front of them and having some links back to you is a great way to grow your audience.
