I'm still a beginner when its comes to seo I wanted to confirm what is guest posting?

Is it posting on blogs as a guest?
How do I find these related blogs?
Whats the difference with regular blog commenting?

Thank you in advance

    Yes guest posting is writing a unique blog post, not posted anywhere else, on a related blog. They say to save your best blog post for a guest post as the purpose is to 1) Get that blogs visitors interested in your expertise and over to your blog 2) A quality link relevant to your site theme pointed at your site without the reciprocal link pointed back.

    Blog commenting is just leaving a good comment on a blog with a link to yours (most likely with a nofollow tag on it) in hopes others will visit your site.

    Guest posting is posting a blog in you have written on others blog site.And yes it is posting a blog as a guest.Google the preferred niches which relates to the content of your blog.

    Blog commenting is totally different from guest posting.In blog commenting,you comment on others post as a reader.You can share your views about the blog.But in guest posting you allow others to comment on your blog post and get feedback.You can also comment on that.

    Thank you for responding, So is guest posting typically just 1-2 sentences with your link on someone else's related blog?

    No, guest posting is more than that. Most blog owners that allow guest posting want something more comprehensive like a 400-800 word article about their topic or a related topic! Most will allow a link in your bio box, or maybe one link in the body of your post. They usually have strict rules to follow.

    You can find lists of blogs that welcome guest posters by typing various keywords into google. "guest posting on blogs" is one example.

    Guest Posting is use unique content on website by admin of website. If you want to post your content any other site then you can use unique content and send via email to the guest post site.

    Guest posting is the bandwagon that everyone is jumping on because the masses blindly believe that the new Google updates have reduced the effectiveness of the link building they were currently doing.

    1-2 sentences!

    I am inviting guest blog content at the minute, but if you send me 1-2 sentences I will delete it.

    Use Google to search for a keyword and "guest blog post" "guest authors" etc. Then reads any site guide they offer for sending content. Then write an original, high quality article and don't fill it full of links and self-promotion.

    You will find your effort means you get a link back to your site for years to come and some traffic.
