Most Powerful way to drive epic blog traffic!

13 replies
I stumbled upon away to drive epic traffic to your blogs for free merely by accident.

-I was signed up through a email list, and was emailed an affiliate offer that was basically saying that guest posting is the way to go to drive targeted traffic to my blog.

So, you know what i did... purchased the product... sike... i just started writing guest post after guest post and submitting them to blogs in my niche.

Key to making guest post stick!

Rather than wasting your time just submitting your blog post. Study the bloggers previous guest post because this will give you a bit more of an edge over the idiot that just submits random blog post.

See how the guest post that has gained a good response was crafted. That way if your blog post does get published you wont just be wasting your time.

-Also read over the bloggers guest post guidelines and try to make your blog post as close as possible.

Remember were trying to give the bloggers in which we are submitting our blog post, no reason to turn down your blog post.

Dont be greedy

Don't put a whole lot of links in your blog post, because its just greedy. Your main objective should be to gain readers to your blog, and not to boost your alexa ranking.

You should only have two links on your guest blog post. One going to your rss feed, so readers can subscribe right off the blog post, and another link just going to your blog...... thats it!!


How do i choose a good guest post blog

What i have done is i installed alexa in my toolbar, so that everytime i visit a website it shows me what there alexa ranking is.

I like to post my blog post on blogs that have a 50,000 page rank or less. I will occasionally post blog post on blogs that have 100,000 or less, but thats only because that particular blog has a very good response rate.


I just wanted to share my two cents with everybody that is struggling to drive traffic to there blogs.

Have a blessed day

Todd, Dowell

    Guest blogging is one of the "unsung heroes" of getting traffic, in my opinion. You never really hear people talking about it like you do some of the other techniques, but it can be very, very valuable. Thanks for bringing it up Todd!

    Since everything is arranged with the blog owner in advance, you know that your guest post is actually going to be published with your links intact (unlike many blog comments that simply get deleted). And, as an added benefit, once your guest post is published, you're promoting it and so is the owner of the blog. You can't beat double the promotion!

    If you want an easier way to find guest blogging opportunities, you can sign up with Myblogguest.com (no affiliation, just a user of the site). It's free to sign up, and you can browse for blogs that are looking for guest posters. Plus, you can even set up a profile so that bloggers can find you and approach you with opportunities.

      Guest posting is not only the best way in my opinion to drive quality traffic to your blog, but its a good way to get those valualbe one way links to your blog.

      Thanks for commenting Nicole

        Thanks for your two cents!

        You are right on with guest posting. I've been doing it for some time and it really has increased my traffic substantially. And I agree you should target sites that are highly active to get the most of your return.

        Here are a few writing tips to consider:

        1. Break up your writing in heading and subheading for ease of reading
        2. Most people won't actually read a full article but rather scan it, so use bold text when possible (but don't over do it)
        3. Make your bio compelling! All that hard work won't be worth your time if you can't get someone to click on your bio link.

    An important point in guest posting is that you should
    provide other bloggers with quality material as they
    already have an audience and are more likely to get
    links and social media shares.

    This will make your guest post have an higher PR which
    will end up benefiting your site.

      This method of traffic generation is very effective and uncommon. It is almost like article marketing which is more saturated due to many articles pumped in daily clamoring for readers attention. Blog posting is simple, silent and effective traffic building method. It will increase your back-links.

        OK I've gotta question, is guest posting the same as just leaving a comment or is this something different?

          No, leaving a comment, and guest posting are two different things. Guest posting is when you write an article, or blog post for another blogger to publicize on there blog.

          Just think of it like this.... let say you write a blog post on how to make money blogging, but instead of hitting the publish button on your blog you decide that you want to publish it on somebody elses blog.


          Hope this answers your question Collier

          guest posting is asking the author his/her permission were in you provide something or the article and content it self to be posted.

    Guest Blogging is an excellent way to get more exposure.

    MyBlogGuest is a great site for finding guest posting opportunities, but generally you can just contact a lot of sites outright if you have a good enough proposal, or network in blogging forums. Chris Garrett's Authority Blogger forum is good for finding people who are up for accepting guest posts.
