Invite Guest Writers, Become a Guest Writer
Guest writing is the process of providing a website with a freshly written article in exchange for a bio. or resource link to your own website. There are benefits to both posting guest written content on your own blog as well as guest writing for other blogs. I personally believe posting a useful article can be just as rank beneficial as building a link. I’ve found that many sites who offer guest writing positions rank very well. Google loves the fresh compelling content and will in most cases begin ranking your website as an authority as more writers contribute. As more people turn to opening their sites to guest writers, this will also open up more opportunities for the writers to build inbound one-way links.
Its not too hard to find blogs who need writers. Sometimes you can just ask random bloggers if they’d welcome a guest post. I have personally done this and found a decent number of accepting responses. If you do find the opportunity to write for a blog make sure you give them your best work. This is the least you can do for the free link. If you happen to welcome guest writers for your blog, feel free to add your site to our directory of content hungry blogs.
