Get Backlinks to Your Website

With guest blogging, you are able to generate lots of high quality and targeted links from top blog websites in your niche. When we write a guest post for a blog, we are allowed to add 2-3 links in total in our guest post and the author bio section.

All links that we are getting through guest blogging used to be dofollow. So these links help us get the best ranking on Google and other search engines for targeted terms. And since we are guest blogging on high ranking blogs in our niche, only a few backlinks from these blog websites will help our own website towards better page rank.

Additional Traffic to Our Website

Since you are guest blogging on blogs based in your niche, you will be able to get some additional traffic to your website from the blogs where you are writing guest posts. People clicking on your website links in your guest post will be especially interested in services, products or information pages you are generating backinks through guest blogging.

Traffic from relevant blogs will help your ads perform better and you will be able to get more conversions in case you are selling any kind of product through your website. From the single guest post, you can expect to receive from a few clicks to hundreds or even thousands of targeted traffic to your website.

I remember when I wrote a guest post on maxblogpress.com and this gave me 400 plus visits over the period of time. So if you are blogging on a popular blog, you can expect a similar amount of traffic numbers for your website pages as well.

With the power of guest blogging, you are able to associate yourself with top blogs in your niche.

Apart from guest blogging, there is no way you can associate with the owners and readers of top blogs in your niche effectively. Since you are writing guest posts on popular blogs in your niche, the targeted audience of your niche will start giving you respect for your hard work and will improve your overall authority in their eyes.

Relationship Building with Fellow Bloggers

Guest blogging also helps in building relationships with fellow bloggers of your niche. Apart from the blog owners, you are also able to build a healthy relationship with their blog readers.

More Targeted Guest Posts for Your Blog

When you are writing guest posts on other blogs, the owners or editors of those blogs may be interested in contributing some guest posts on your blog. This will help your blog get more targeted content in the form of guest posts from top bloggers of your industry.

There is also every chance readers of those blogs will be interested in showing their writing skills to you in the form of guest posts on your blog. When I’m writing guest posts on other blogs, the flow of guest post requests on my blog also increases.
