how to drive traffic to your website using guest posting
DESCRIPTION
Take link building as an example. The easy-to-get links are the ones with the lowest value. If you submit your site URL to thousands of directories in less than 5 minutes, you won't get much value. Those links are very easy to get and therefore, they weight no value in Google's eyes.TRANSCRIPT

Traffic is the be-all and end-all. If you don't generate web traffic, your website is worthless.
Some people think that having great content is the ideal way to drive visitors to their sites. That's
not true to some extent.
I've experienced and learned many things from my short blogging journey. I felt so sad when no
one commented on my first blog posts. I had great content, but no one bothered to leave
feedback. I started to comment on other blogs. Then bloggers started visiting my blog and
returned the favor. I learned that I must get myself out there. I must let people know about me.
The same goes for traffic. You need to know where traffic is and try to get it to your blog. The
best way to do that is through guest posting.
I know what you're thinking. Guest posting takes time. That's unquestionably true. But don't
forget that the most rewarding things take time. This doesn't apply to guest posting, but to
everything else.

Take link building as an example. The easy-to-get links are the ones with the lowest value. If you
submit your site URL to thousands of directories in less than 5 minutes, you won't get much
value. Those links are very easy to get and therefore, they weight no value in Google's eyes.
The hard-to-get links are the ones Google and other search engines value. Some of these are
Editorial/Contextual Links. These are the links surrounded by content. These are hard to get. So
they're highly valuable. This is just to tell you that the harder you try the better.
Let's go back to guest posting. What makes it so effective?
Guest posting refers to writing a blog post for another blog in order to gain more exposure. You
choose a blog that drive a lot of web traffic and have a good reputation on search engines and
you write a post for it. How can this benefit you?
First, the blog has readers, right? Those visitors will read your post and visit your website or
blog. You need to include some links on your post in order to generate traffic.

Second, the links you'll use on your guest posting are called Editorial/Contextual links. They're
surrounded by relevant text. So they're highly valuable from a search engine perspective. You'll
get higher rankings and eventually more search engine traffic if you write many guest posts.
To find blogs that accept guest posts, you can search using these terms:
“Write for us"
"Write a guest posting"
"Become a guest blogger"
"Submit guest post"

But to take full advantage of guest posting, you need to use it correctly. You need to bear these
things in mind to choose the right blog:
Check how much traffic the blog gets
Check how many comments it gets
Check whether people tweet the posts or not
Check whether people share the posts on Facebook
Check the number of blog followers (Feed burner, Twitter, Facebook Fanpage, etc)
Check how often the blog is updated. You need to choose blogs that don't update very
frequently. This way, your guest post will have the chance to stay on the home page for a
long time. Imagine the blog is updated daily. Your guest post will soon disappear and
you'll get no traffic.
The aforesaid are valuable tips for generating web traffic through guest posting. It is the best
traffic generation method in my book. Use it and you'll see how powerful it is.
