Guest Blogging Can Really Pay Off

Rebecca: It is a great way to get more exposure and quality backlinks at the same time.

BLiz: A big help, especially if decent PR sites participate.

It is working out great, Gita. I recommend it.

It gives the post and internal links a boost, Michael.

Bobbie: I know you have seen the effect on G+. 

Mark: This is a smart way to share out blog content around and get some new content on our own site at the same time.

Roy: It is something we all should be doing, especially those of us who want our content to rise in the SERPs.

Dorie: It can work for all of us! We just need to get outside of the box we put ourselves in with our blogging efforts.

Toni: Give it a try. I bet your content reaches quite a few more online consumers.

Robert: It can take time to find the right guest bloggers.

I would love to have someone who has quality mortgage information they want to share do some guest blogs on my site. *Hint*

Nick: There are several real estate bloggers on G+ who are using this technique quite effectively. Ask your favorite lender...he/she may jump at the idea.

Debbie: It is a smart move that I encourage all bloggers to undertake.

Tammie White  Great question. In this case, Bill and I have collaborated on a few things in the past. I think he sent me an email about writing these particular posts and I in-turn did the same with Karen Highland last week. Those that are linked at the bottom of the post (companion articles) get tagged in a G+ post which triggers them to typically share the content with their followers on the platforms they use...it can be quite a social media blitz. Partnering with folks who have a strong social media presence helps as does teaming with individuals who are willing to write 1K+ general real estate content.

I am always looking for more partners...either in a reciprocal blog post scenario or a single post on yours or my WP site. Let me know if interested. 

Tammie: Copy/paste is duplicate content. I would not do that. I would have that person write a new article that you can put on your site. If they plan it well, they will have a few links to other content on their site as well as links (internal) to some of your content. At the bottom of the post you can also give credit to companion posts from other authors who could also share the information since they are getting a free link too. The "3 mistakes" example I give in the post does those things and benefits everyone mentioned. The more people sharing the content the better.

Jeff: You know it works then...kudos to you!

Go for it, Jerry. Good content often gets shared online.
