Guest blogging means posting blogs written by you on someone else’s blog. It has definitely some advantages, which makes it sopopular. However, you do not need to post blogs on every other site that comes your way. It will not do any good to you, and you will be branded a spammer! You have to post your blogs only to that site which has the same subject area as yours.

Find out blogs which belong to your blog’s niche. Try to look out for blogs that are updated regularly. Find out how you can write something beneficial to the readers. If your blog is relevant, the site owner is likely to accept your request. Email the owner regarding your request. Comment on the owner’s blog (Give positive points), and ask for permission to post your articles. Also highlight how your articles are going to benefit the readers. Do tell me the topics on which you can write articles. These simple things will make sure that your request is accepted and you can start your guest blogging .

Guest blogging has numerous advantages. Some of the biggest ones are described below.

Guest blogging is a simple yet effective way to have the required recognition and to get huge amounts of traffic to your site. These are just some of the advantages of guest blogging . You will explore more when you start doing it.

Alright, this we a little bit of a misleading headline. Guest posting isn’t dead for most people, but it is however dead for some people.  Matt Cutts from Google announcedtoday that guest posting for some people is dead.

Cutts states in the video that people who are spinning content, writing crappy post, short posts, or posts that provide no value or new relevant information will be deemed as crap and not help you in your rankings.  What does this mean for the thousands of people submitting guest posts to this blog every month?  Pretty much that you can stop cause it’s not really going to help you at all.

Guest posting should be valuable to everyone, including and most especially the reader.  The reader should be able to read a 600+ word post about something that’s new to them.  Not something that’s been rehashed out 10x on 10 different blogs.  Make sure your content is unique and awesome.  People want to create good content, something that helps them out.  Google is going after short 200, 300 and 400 word post that are only written for a link.  If it’s written only for a link, then it’s probably not going to be worth your time.

Good news for all you peeps out there that are doing honest guest posting and actually putting time into your post, you’re in for a treat.  Your link will be valuable, I would imagine authorship and other things will start playing a large role in leadership online.  So start making sure your author tagsare enabled and working.

Ingredients 1 cup of butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces), room temperature 1/2 cup of sugar 2 eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Pinch of salt 2 cups of flour 1 cup of chopped nuts (optional) 3/4 cup of your favorite jam Parchment paper

Method

1 Cream the butter and sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes.

2 Separate the eggs. Add the yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. If using nuts place the egg whites in a shallow dish on the side and whisk them until bubbly and frothy (the egg whites will be used to keep the nuts on the cookies).

3 Add the flour and salt. Mix until just combined. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350F.

4 Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. If using nuts, dip the balls into the egg whites then roll them into the nuts until covered. Place the balls on parchment lined cookie sheets.

5 Press down with your thumb to make a small well in the center of the cookie. Do not press too hard or the cookie will fall apart. Fill with 1/2 teaspoon of jam.

6 Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly firm. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet to firm up before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
