I am a proponent of guest blogging when it comes to SEO. But what do others think about this especially after the latest Google update? Has it become more valuable than other link building techniques?
Guest blogging gives you exposure and also some good quality links. For example A blog may have 10k subscribers and if you can get an article there you have 10k people reading your article and of all of them if atleast you can make 30-60% of them turn up to your personal blog then you are successful
totally agree with your example. i can add one more example of a blogger from India, Devesh who is doing extremely well in blogging and his secret is guest blogging. initially when he started he did a lot of guest blogging and now people write articles for his blog. you can see his blog here: technshare.com
Guest blogging is a good method to build links. If the blog is a moderate blog other will not able to spam them. Only genuine posts will be displayed. So you will get better SEO advantage.
