Blogging on your own site is a great way to add content and internal links but with regard to actual traffic it is possible that you could be seen as blowing your own trumpet. In each industry there are very recognisable figures and names, celebrities of their fields. Part of the way this celebrity status is achieved (other than being very knowledgeable) is by being prolific with their information. For you this means that you need to get your name and your knowledge out there and on other people’s websites.

Guest blogging – writing a blog post for another website, is the perfect vehicle for this, by placing a post on another blog you can add some quality backlinks to your own site, as well as getting your name and your content out there. An extra advantage is the extra traffic you can generate through the new links. Gaining these guests spots can start as a mutually beneficial deal with another webmaster, either writing extra content specifically for their site as a favour, which allows you to share in that sites audience, or exchanging guest spots in the way that comic artists do to increase their exposure, this method means that the reader base of each site can be shared by the other, increasing traffic to both sites.

The only way another webmaster will agree to your creating a Guest written post for their site is if your own content is high in quality and if they can see that your exposure is such that it will be of benefit to their site, for this reason Guest posting must be combined with a strong regimen of social networking, posting comments on relevant sites and forums and in general gaining exposure by every means available.
