Guest Blogging means writing for free on other bloggers blog who have invited you to have a chance to write on their blog with your articles. You will hear many bloggers talking about search engine optimization techniques, importance of social networking sites, participating in forums, and commenting on other blogs for promoting your blog but only few mention the word 'Guest Blogging'.

I recently had two guest posts at Problogger.net in December. It is a great way of introducing yourself and your blog to the potential target audience. Also it gives you great quality, high PR link back, plus many do click over to visit your blog, read your posts and hopefully subscribe to your RSS feed.
one thing to keep in mind is that whether the guest posts are dofollow or not. lot of blogs running on wordpress MU is setup to be nofollow on the guest posts by default. if you are looking for exposure then its fine but if you are guest blogging for backlinks, then check one or 2 guest posts for nofollow attribute before you spend your time writing posts
Things will be good if you write a guest post for high ranking or high profile blogs like problogger or johnchow. But, how about other blogs? Does it give any good high pr backlinks or good traffic? I doubt it.
I never did try this before because my blog is full of sponsored review. I know that if I ever didi a guest post then it would be all for nothing.
