Why Guest Posting Is So Important?

Before I start with significance of guest posting, let me explain about "What Is Guest Posting?" Basically, guest posting refers to posting articles on other blogs. In other words, it means publishing articles written by you on other blogs rather than your own blog. Guest posting helps to increase the traffic to your blog, improves your writing skills, some blogs encourage Adsense Revenue Sharing - increase your Adsense earnings, increase back links which in turn increases your Google page rank and so on.

Today, I find so many guest bloggers on various blogs but still, there are people who don't encourage guest posting. If you are one among the few people who feel there are no advantages with guest posting, then you definitely need to check out the infographic which I found on "MyBlogGuest". The infographic was designed by Brandon Rhodes for MyBlogGuest, and the infographic will clearly explain the benefits of Guest Posting. Take a look at the infographic given below.

Guest Posting Infographic:
guest-posting-infographic
I feel the best way to develop a community of bloggers related to our niche and to drive more traffic is possible when we encourage guest posting on our blogs. We have already started Guest Posting on our blog. So, if any one wants to write an article for us, they can visit the following page for more details - Write For Us.

UPDATE 
5. Well, the reason why "Posts" did not appear was a result of a small script that we missed out in the hack. So, I'm sorry guys. To add the script, search for the following line on your blogger template.
</head>
Now, paste the following piece of code in the text document - SCRIPT FOR RELATED POSTS just above the line mentioned in step 5.
6. That's it!!! Save your template. View the widget on your post pages. 
Note: You need to view the post pages to view the widget. That is, click on any of the posts in your blog to view the final result. You cannot find them on the home page of your blog.
