When it comes to guest blogging tons of new bloggers and also existing bloggers participate in it.

I have been blogging for over 2 and a half years now and I am still doing guest blogging.

Why is guest blogging so popular? Why are so much people flocking to it?

This is because you can get tons of traffic through guest blogging back to your blog.

Guest blogging is also a great way that you can use to build backlinks for your blog which will also help you to get more traffic.

If done properly then you can get lots of targeted traffic back to your blog and this will help to make your blog successful.

I have been doing guest blogging for quite some time now and in this post I am going to share with you some tips on how you can become a great guest blogger and how you can get traffic to your blog through guest blogging.

[box type=”spacer”]Write As If It Was Your Blog[/box]

Whenever I do guest blogging, I don’t plan.

I write the guest posts for my blog and then after that I submit them as guest post to a blog that I think it would do well on.

The reason why I do this is because whenever I write articles for my blog I want to put the best tips inside of it so that the readers will benefit to the fullest.

Most of the times when people do guest blogging they want to save the best content for their blog and submit content that aren’t of high quality as guest post.

When people do this, they think that they will get more traffic to their blog by keeping all the good stuff to them self or on their blog.

In order to get traffic from other blogs when you do guest posting, you have to prove to them that you know what you are doing by submitting the best quality content as possible.

This is the reason why I write articles as is I was writing for my blog and then contribute that write up as a guest post.

If you try this method, I guarantee that you will be contributing more high quality guest posts and the great thing about submitting great great posts is that you will have more chances of getting tons of traffic back to your blog.

[box type=”spacer”]Reply To Each And Every Comment[/box]

If I do guest posting and get comments on my article, am I going to ignore them?

No way!

This is like throwing traffic away.

If you do guest blogging and don’t reply to your comments, what was your reason for doing a guest post?

Most of the times people do guest posting to get some exposure and also to get traffic to their blog. Guest posting has been one of the top ways to get targeted traffic to your blog and to and to also build successful back links back to your blog. Many new bloggers are using this method to generate traffic back to their blogs.

If you guest post on a blog that has more traffic than yours, then you can expect to get some comments on your article.

One thing that you should do when you get comments is to reply to each and every one of them.

When you do this, it would be like an invitation been given to each commentator to come visit your blog.

While blog commenting as well, you are building backlinks for your blog.

If the blog that you had submitted the guest post for has the Comment Luv Plugin installed on it, then you can promote your blog even more by choosing one of your latest post to display so that you can get more traffic.

Keep in mind that if the blog that you are guest posting for has the top commentator plugin install then you stand a chance of being one of the top commentator when you reply to each comment left on your guest post.

Take the time out to reply to each comment left on your guest post, it will be worth it when you start getting traffic to your blog.

[box type=”spacer”]Promote Your Guest Post[/box]

Do you promote your guest posts when it gets published?

Yes? No?

Do you promote your blog post when your publish them on your blog?

Yes? No?

Lots of blog traffic to a blog will cause it to become successful.

So therefore, yes should be the answers to both questions above.

You should promote your guest post as soon as they get published. This isn’t your blog, but these are your writings so you would want to show others of the wonderful article that you have written.

The more views and comments that your guest post has then the more traffic you will be getting back to your blog.

[box type=”spacer”]Insert Links Back To Your Blog[/box]

If your article is great then the blog visitors who read your article would like to know more about you. They would also want to visit your blog and read more blogging tips from you.

If you leave links to related articles, if there are any on your blog, then you will benefit greatly when you place the links inside your guest post.

You just have to know how to insert these links and choose the best keywords to anchor for them.

Why should you choose the keywords wisely?

Doing this will help you to build backlinks and it is also great for search engine purposes.

Always remember to add your blog link in the author bio section and also additional links if possible back to your Twitter, Facebook or also Google + Profile.

[box]In Conclusion…[/box]

If you haven’t done guest blogging as yet then I encourage you to find a blog close to your niche. Ask the blog owner if you can submit a guest post for their blog.

When writing the guest post, give it your best write up and neatly embed links to your blog or an article on your blog.  After your guest post is published, promote it so that it can get some views and also reply to each comment left on your guest post.

Doing these things will help you to get traffic back to your blog through guest posting.
