Have you heard of any site that does not submit a guest post to the top 10 search engines? Yes, I did say "top 10 search engines." These are Google, Yahoo, and MSN. If you do not submit your post to these search engines, then you will not receive the traffic that you are looking for. Guest blogging and SEO are basically inseparable from one another, but there is still much confusion on both concept and method.

When you submit a guest post to any of these three giants, it means that your site will be placed within their directory or engine in return. You submit to get your name placed within their ranking system. Guest blogging can mean just that, a post by another blog owner. You submit to get free search engine traffic, and if you build a good reputation within the blogging world, then you may get offers from other blog owners to write for them.

This is where things get tricky. There are many bloggers out there that are looking for topics within a specific industry. For instance, if you are in the catering business, then you would want to focus on the needs of the catering industry. If you are into the medical profession, then you may want to write about medical issues. You have to focus on the niche market that you are in to truly succeed with blogging.

The purpose of this article is to educate people on what exactly a guest post must consist of to gain the approval from the search engines. Your post must follow a certain format, which is called a YOYO format. This means that you can only post one original article per YOYO submission. Other than that, your content must be duplicate content. You cannot write three articles about the same specific event, article, or blog.

Your article has to include links to the main webpage of your blog, and the resource box must include links back to the actual posting site as well. You can include links in your author resource box, but remember that the links must point to the specific page where the readers can find you. When writing for a blog, it's very important to follow the format required by Google. The Google webmaster guidelines will state that a guest blogger must always provide quality content.

The Google guidelines also state that the content has to be relevant to the title, and body of the article. Furthermore, the links that you use within your article body have to be clickable. The last criteria required is that your guest blog post has to have been published within the last 30 days.

It's one of the best ways to get traffic from your guest blogging stints. In addition, if you've written multiple articles, you can use your Google+ profile page to promote those other articles. If you have more than one profile, then all of them can have the +1 button so that anyone who reads your articles on their own blog can read yours on Google too.

Guest blogging is also one of the best ways to promote your blogs. There are so many different types of blogs on the internet. Most people will only ever visit a few of them, but if you can post quality, useful content on every one of those blogs, then you can have an entire network of websites and social media pages that you promote with guest post opportunities. When you write, think about what type of things people would be interested in reading. Then, write about those things so often that it becomes second nature to write about those things, so that when they see your name associated with those blogs, they'll automatically know what it's about.
