    Hello guys, can someone tell me more about guest blogging?

    See, I have a wordpress blog and I am looking forward to go for guest blogging.

    - Advantages and Disadvantages of guest blogging?
    - Do we need any plugin for that?
    - Guest bloggers make the entire post or just write a summary with a link back to original post on their website?

    If you have more information on this, which could help me out, then please do let me know...!

    Thanx!

    I'll boil it down into simple words.

    What it entails is someone writes an article on a topic you agree to and you publish it on your blog.

    They will write the entire post themselves, although you can offer them a topic to write about if you so wish.

    Normally you will allow them to put in a link or two to their site as a thank you for writing the article for your blog.

    You do not need a plugin.

    They can send it to you and you publish it under your admin account or you can create a posting account for them and they can submit the article that way for you to approve.

    Before you publish a guest post I'd suggest using something like Copyscape to make sure the guy hasn't stolen the post. Sadly it does happen.

    I hope this makes some sense. :)
