Guest posting has been driving good traffic to the websites and blogs of our clients. You can check out this site's US traffic estimates in Compete.Com and other relevant details about that site in RankChecker.Com. That site's in the health and fitness niche.


So, how do you do guest posting that can drive traffic which could most likely sign up as your mailing list subscribers? Here's one way that you can test and see if it works for you:



1. Go to Technorati's blog directory. Select the most closely related category and sub category to your niche. Wait for the page to load. The site will display a list of the top blogs under your chosen category and sub category.



2. Go to those blogs. Take note of the most popular and most recent posts in those blogs that are closely related to your niche. Study the most important topics and sub topics discussed by those posts, and alsos study comments and messages left by others in those posts. Your objective is to develop a shortlist of niche-related topics and sub topics that a lot of people in your target market want to learn more about.



3. Develop a mailing list subscription offer that provides the exact info and advice that those people need. It should have an attention-grabbing headline, a short and enticing description (the headline and description should go on your squeeze page) and mind-blowing content. Then, develop follow-up content materials that you'll use in your auto-responder as follow-up emails. These follow-up materials should offer supplemental info and advice with benefits that are neither found in your mailing list subscription offer nor elsewhere.



4. Develop a "preview" material that offers benefits that can be effectively supported by more benefits found in your mailing list subscription offer. Mention those additional benefits that can be found in your mailing list subscription offer and follow-up emails. Publsih this material as a post in your blog or website. Your mailing list subscription box should be effectively visible on this post.



5. Go to Google. Enter any of the search strings below, including quotes:


"guest posting guidelines" "place keywords here that are laterally relevant to your niche"
"guest posting requirements" "place your niche keywords here that are laterally relevant to your niche"
"guest post guidelines" "place your keywords here that are laterally relevant to your niche"
"guest post requirements" "place your keywords here that are laterally relevant to your niche"


Think of other keywords related to guest posting guidelines, and try out different niche keywords that are laterally relevant to your niche. Why use laterally relevant keywords?


You're looking for laterally relevant blogs that accept guest posts with links pointing to a page about a laterally relevant niche, since blogs in your exact niche won't most likely accept guest posts with links pointing to competing sites (your site), especially if those competing sites are trying to make their viewers subscribe to their mailing lists. This is because traffic funnneled from those blogs to those competing sites is lost traffic for those blogs. For instance, blogs about dating and fashion and cooking are laterally relevant to weight loss.



6. Google will display a list of results, most of which'll be blogs that accept guest posts. Prune this list to laterally relevant blogs. Go to the pages in those blogs where their guest posting guidelines are found.



7. Carefully study their guest post writing and submission guidelines. Prune your list further to blogs with guest posting guidelines that comply with your parameters (no payment or minimal payment - it's up to you, allow one or two links and so on). Document the most important details in a spreadsheet (blog URLs, URLs of pages where guest posting guidelines are found, email addresses or contact form URLs where guest posts should be submitted and so on), for quick and easy reference.



8. Go to those blogs. Take note of the most recent and most popular posts in those blogs that are about topics and sub topics which are laterally relevant to your niche.



9. Study the topics and sub topics covered by those most recent and most popular posts. Your objective is to develop guest posts that will (1) serve as an excellent follow-up post to the most recent and most popular posts in those blogs; (2) introduce the guest author (you) as a friendly expert about those laterally relevant niches and more so about your niche; and (3) serve as an effective lure to the "preview" material on your site, which should be linked by your guest posts. Here's an easier way to track the sequence of this strategy:


Guest Posts in Laterally Relevant Blogs =>> Preview Material on Your Site =>> Mailing List Subscription Offer =>> Follow-Up Emails


In terms of continuously establishing friendly professional relationships with your mailing list subscribers by constantly giving them beneficial value, then recommending good affiliate products or your own products to them at the right time -- That's another long post... Perhaps some other time...

Solo ads serve a very specific purpose - they rip you off. 500 unique clicks for $500 who the hell pays that? Seriously Marx Vergel Melencio offers some excellent points in their reply to you above. Guest Blogging is a great free way to develop high quality backlinks which are specific to your niche
