It has become abundantly clear in light of the recent shakeup with Google that bloggers and other information marketers must keep their eye on their SEO strategy or they will lose traffic and eventually search engine ranking. Guest blogging, which is really not new, has become the new article marketing because so many article directories suffered in the last Google shakeup. In this article, we'll take a look at how to make guest blogging much easier and maybe much more rewarding for you.

What is guest blogging?
Guest blogging is the practice of one blogger writing a blog post that will be published on another blogger's blog with an eye towards increasing their exposure, getting quality back links, and increased traffic to their blog.

What are the benefits of guest blogging?
Guest blogging really creates a win-win situation for both the host blogger and the guest blogger. The guest blogger gains the benefits of being affiliated with a more well-known blogger, the increased traffic, exposure and backlinks, while the host blogger gains the benefit of fresh, quality content that they did not have to write themselves. Even the host blogger's audience wins because they get exposed to a fresh point of view on the topic.

What is a guest blogging network?
A guest blogging network is a website that provides a forum where bloggers who are looking for guest posters and writers who are looking for a blog to publish their posts can meet and arrange a transaction.

Here are three of the top guest blogging networks:

My Blog Guest
My Blog Guest calls itself a community of guest bloggers. Sign up is free. Guest bloggers get the chance to gain exposure to a new audience, build their brand, network with other bloggers and build quality back links.

Blog owners can meet other bloggers who are looking to get their posts published. They have access to content that is both free and exclusive. Hosting guest blog posts can also attract a fresh influx or targeted traffic.

Blog Engage
Blog engage is a blogging community and social network which was created by a blogger to serve other bloggers. Blog engage uses a point system where you can earn points that can be redeemed for submitting blog posts, which requires a minimum of 100 points.

To get started you create a profile and add members as friends and begin networking within the community. Your content can also be syndicated on their RSS service, and you can earn a share of the AdSense revenue for your content.

Blog engage is not free. There are four payment levels ranging from $4.99 to $29.99 per month.

Web Traffic Control
Web Traffic Control is a guest blogging platform that allows members to actually make money through guest blogging arrangements. You sign up either as an advertiser, which is the party with the blog post looking for a place to publish it, or a blogger, who is looking for blog posts to publish on their blog.

Each party pays a one-time entry fee, which is being waived while they are still in beta. So, in essence, Web Traffic Control will allow users to earn money while also being provided free content.
