The best part about guest blogging is that along with potential comes a subtle way of increasing your web traffic without being too obvious. Also, This, in a way, gives your blog some free exposure and that is free advertising for you!

When you contact another blogger and ask him or her if you can contribute a guest post to be published on his or her blog, follow these ten tips to increase your chances of getting your guest post accepted.

1. Read the Blog Where You Want to Submit a Guest Post

If you want to have any chance at convincing another blogger to publish your guest post on his or her blog, then it's absolutely imperative that you take some time to get to know the other blogger, the content of his or her blog and the audience for that blog. Take some time to read through the blog's current content and archives. Read through the comments and get a feel for what content is acceptable and popular on that blog. Then submit a guest post idea that is relevant and fills a gap in the existing content.

2. Provide Your Credentials

When you contact another blogger and pitch your guest post, be certain to provide your credentials. Make the blogger understand why you are the person to write your guest post and why the blogger's audience should listen to and care about what you have to say.

3. Provide Your Blog Statistics

If your blog statistics are good, then make sure the other blogger knows what they are. Share your monthly unique visitor and page view stats as well as your rankings from Google, Alexa and Technorati - anything that will demonstrate that a guest post from you will provide useful links and potential traffic from your own blog readers when you promote it on your blog.

4. Be Honest and Straightforward

Don't waste the other blogger's time or try to butter him or her up with compliments. Chances are the other blogger will see right through it. Instead, get to the point. Most bloggers (particularly successful bloggers) are very busy. Ensure your email pitch spells out who you are and what you can provide to the blogger and his or her audience clearly and concisely. Additionally, don't embellish your credentials, blog stats or other information about what you can provide. Chances are you'll get caught.

5. Demonstrate You Know Something About Blogging

Tell the other blogger how you'll deliver your guest post. For example, if you send your guest post in a Word document, then the blogger has to take extra steps to copy and paste it into his or her blogging software to remove extra HTML code that Word automatically embeds. Make sure the other blogger understands that you will make it very easy for him or her to publish your guest post. Also, ensure the other blogger knows that you will provide content that is unique to his or her blog and that all images and content you provide will be yours or properly cited to avoid copyright problems.

6. Provide Links to Your Blogs and Online Writing

Show the other blogger that you can write coherent and compelling blog content by providing links to your blogs and relevant online writing samples.

7. Start Small

Start your guest blogging efforts on smaller blogs. It's always best to publish guest blog posts on blogs that are bigger than yours to drive the most traffic and gain the most exposure, but it's often best to start by guest blogging on smaller blogs, learning the ropes and building your online reputation and own blog traffic before you pitch a guest post idea to highly popular blog.

8. Write Your Guest Post Before You Pitch It

If you have time, write your guest post and attach it in your email when you contact the other blogger. This will allow the other blogger to see exactly what you can provide him or her, which a busy blogger is likely to appreciate. Rather than having to email back and forth to determine if you can provide quality, relevant content, the other blogger will immediately know what you can provide, which just might increase your chances of having your guest post accepted for publication.

Some simple tips for you:
1) Choose only those blogs for guest blogging that are in the same niche.

2)You should submit to different blogs. It means do not submit guest posts to a single blog only.

The best part about guest blogging is that along with potential comes a subtle way of increasing your web traffic without being too obvious. Also, This, in a way, gives your blog some free exposure and that is free advertising for you!

It is really helpful to all.

Really informative.. Thanks for sharing..

If you want to have any chance at convincing another blogger to publish your guest post on his or her blog, then it's absolutely imperative that you take some time to get to know the other blogger, the content of his or her blog and the audience for that blog. Take some time to read through the blog's current content and archives. Read through the comments and get a feel for what content is acceptable and popular on that blog. Then submit a guest post idea that is relevant and fills a gap in the existing content.

This is really nice and it is considered quite effective nowadays. Guest blogging should be done in the same niche and utmost care should be taken to not go outside the topic and not to hurt the sentiments of the writer.

Really very nice tips thanks.

Writing a guest post requires more craft in writing since most website owners reject blogs that are written below the standard of the set quality. Another thing is to make sure that you only do guest posts on a web site with a good reputation and higher page rank with quite a few subscribers.

Hope this helps!

Excellent and helpful tips on guest blogging

While doing guest blogging try to keep in mind that your providing a good and real information. Also try to get known about the adding your website link into the author bio.

I think you need to connect with the blog owner first before contacting him/her about your plan of doing a guest post. I think bloggers need to have that online chemistry first.

Wonderful informations are here...I too searched about guest blogging...Now i got a clear idea about that..Thanks...

The most reliable method to get quick traffic on the site includes Guest Blogging, It is very much powerful to earn qualiy backlink as well.

Give credit where credit is due. When readers are used to reading posts written by a certain person, they sometimes assume that a guest post was written by you. I try to prevent this by titling all guest posts as such and including the blogger’s name at the top and the bottom of the post (though Blogger still says it was posted by me because I formatted the post). I also ask guest bloggers for a bio line so that readers can visit their blog, check out their website, or follow them on Twitter. Whenever I’m promoting a guest blog on Twitter, I also include the guest blogger’s Twitter handle if they have one.

Yes, guest posting is a good way to get more traffic to your website and blog. myblogguest.com is one of the best site that helps to fulfill your goal.
