Guest blogging is a great method to get new visitors and subscribers from blogs in the same niche. It’s a win win situation: the guest blogger gets new exposure on well established blogs while the respective blogs get fresh new content for free. It’s a practice which is not discouraged by google.
When you want to write a guest post there are a few tricks you should know that can bring you better results:
Read a few articles on the blog you submit your blog post to, especially from guest blog posts. After you study this you get the idea of what kinds of guest post are preferred. Try adjust your writing style to be closer to that one.
Take a look on the links that are posted in the articles. If the articles contains lots of links in content is more likely for the blog owner to accept more the a signature link if its really an useful and informative link, even the rules are against it.
Study a little bit the titles of the articles published. If the blog highlights articles unrelated to his specific niche it means you can go outside the boundaries when you write it. If the blog published blog new posts about the same old methods, it means you can do the same. Keep the original ideas for blogs which likes original ideas, or for your own blog.
Study the keywords used in titles, tags and categories. After all you want to have a successful guest blog article. To achieve it you can use popular keywords in that blog. Most of the posts will have a related posts plugin installed. If you use the rights keywords you article could be highlighted at the end of many other posts in the related posts area.
Take care not to write on a subjects which were already covered in a previous posts. Every respectable blog will avoid to have multiple posts describing the same idea.

10|Sep|2010 2It’s true. But no respectable blog should accept posts which contains spam links. Usually, when you write a guest post, you write it on subjects from your niche. It’s very likely to have written something useful and related in the past. If the blog owner find the link useful he will accept it even if the post breaks some rules.
