Guest blogging is one of the most effective ways to promote your brand and initiate some viral effect. It is not a new concept; I for one have been guest blogging for years. And that's for my first guest post at SEJ back in 2008 that actually resulted in my public SEO career and my becoming rather a blogger than an SEO.

This post aims at promoting the tactic and helping guest bloggers with some useful resources:

Also, don't forget to promote your search marketing articles on the SEO blogs I listed in my post on SEJ.

Becoming a Professional Guest Blogger:

MyBlogGuest community (started by me) where bloggers, content creators, link builders, entrepreneurs can meet to exchange guest posts and build connections. Ideally I'd like it to work this way:

• Join by providing your email, username and some social media activity stats (that's for fellow bloggers to see how actively you are able to promote the guest contribution posted at their sites);
• Add your tag (which reflect your interests / areas of expertise). Tags make sure you will be found by fellow bloggers in the same niches;
• Add your blogs that accept guest contributions (that's for others to see which sites you would like them to guest blog for);
• Post at forums to announce your willingness to guest blog / accept guest posts;
• Arrange guest posts and help expose them to a wider audience by sharing on social media sites.

And do you guest blog?

[...] Links to tweet Nowadays it’s easier to integrate all kind of activities with Twitter, e.g. Twitter synced with blogs via tweetmeme, Twitter synced with Youtube, Flickr, Facebook, Linkedin et cetera. The integration with other social media like Facebook and Linkedin is even more interesting for SEO campaigns because now their strategy can be integrated with twitter. The usage of twitter is more easy and it’s important to deliver content. Blogs, Youtube videos, pictures and the like are content that people are willing to share. By integrating Twitter with Facebook and Linkedin it’s even possible to get a greater audience to click on your links (and you also have more link locations). Ann Smartey recently published a blog stating blogging is a effective way to promote your brand. [...]
