Over times Guest blogging has been becoming a super factor of getting huge links with valid or spammy ways and still now to the content writers and bloggers it’s one of the most popular trends of getting outbound links. But recently Mattcutts has said on his blog that Guest blogging is a spammy practice, and if you’re doing a lot of guest blogging then you’re hanging out with really bad company. So, what a regular content marketer(who contributes on several blogs) should do now, either stopping his work or do it anyway.
To be honest, I dont even like to guest blog...It was not to long when I did create some content posts on a blog, and admin just removed the links from my posts...he got content, I got nothing, but that is ok, when I go to buy what I am looking for, will not buy it from him, will just go to his competitor, then I will go back to his blog, and tell him since you gave me nothing, then I give you nothing... Matt Cutts/Google is Anti-Everything....the only thing they want you to do is put unique content on your site, and sit there, and do nothing else.... that is what google expects from everyone, do nothing...
But in some case you need to depend on Guest blogging. Suppose you're a beginner on blogging, your blog gets less than 200 visits per month that is rarely poor in blogging competition. Then the only weapon you can have to reach out your familiarity to your targeted audiences through posting on your related niches those who have regular content reader and you can communicate them so that you can send reader to your blog and grow up a community gradually. But it's for a beginner not for an expertise content writer. So i suggest them to ignore guest blogging if its for the purpose of getting links and traffic.
I don't know, I'm a little disappointed that the scammers and spammers have ruined guest blogging as a good SEO tool, but I still do it occasionally. I see blogging the old-school way. I think it's to make good connections with people, and then get all the advantages of actually knowing someone who has a blog in your niche. I don't think I've ever really relied on guest blogging to get traffic to my own site. I just liked making new friends.
