My Guest-Post Research

I've been doing some reading on the net, trying to find ways to promote the blogs I've worked so very hard on building. I have hundreds of well-written, good sized articles which provide step-by-step help, and solid information to readers.

my popular blog

I don't think my blogs are doing the best they can for me. I think they should have a higher Google rating because many of my articles are now in the first page of Google searches.  Consequently, I've been trying to find out what else I can do - with my limited technical skill and time - to correct this. The term that pops up in almost every article I've read is 'guest posting' Guest posting is supposed to be the current big thing - the top rated activity to widen your readership and build solid back-links. So I did a few to prove its worth!

I sacrificed the already limited time I have to spend on my own blogs to create interesting articles on some highly-rated sites in my niche. I thought long and hard about what would fit in nicely with their themes and applied to write for them.

I knew I wasn't being paid for my time or effort. However, I felt that the exposure and back-links I'd heard so much about would be definitely worth the sacrifice. You'd be pleased to know I was successful and here are the wonderful fruits of my labour. The first two are essential blogging tips/information, the third one is mainly to do with writers and Facebook layouts.  The last is for fun. Let me know what you think. I'll give these a month to stew, then I'll come back to you with my findings. Stick around and subscribe to this blog if you haven't already done so. Wish me luck!
