Guest Blogger Etiquette

There is really no difference in guest blog writing and middle school sleepovers. The main objective for both is the same–try to be on your best behavior so you will be asked to come back. With this in mind, here is a quick tip for guest bloggers.

First of all, be a considerate blogger by paying attention to a website’s key phrases and search rankings. Be sure to include ranked keywords in your blog posts to receive more blog traffic. This small action will increase traffic to your blog post and the host site.

So how can you verify that your keyword link is increasing traffic to your blog post?

Use the “Google Author stats tool” to see how your guest blog is performing in search. Author Stats will organize your rank and the traffic of all of your articles in a report. This simple act of using ranked keywords is beneficial to both parties and might result in additional requests for post writing in the future.
