A great way to get your material noticed is guest posting on other blogs. It is difficult for some bloggers or business owners to get their word out to world. You can also offer your site or blog as a platform for other business owners and bloggers to submit a guest posting.
Guest Posting On Blogs Related To Your Niche
This discussion has been taking place long before I arrived to the blogosphere. Guest posting on blogs related to your niche will allow you to showcase your expertise amongst your peers. Usually forums are a great way to get quick traffic to your site, but often do not offer guest posting.
Guest Posting On Blogs Not Related To Your Niche
There are some advantages of guest posting on platforms that are not related to your niche. None better then traffic and web exposure. If you have a local business, my suggestion would be to find local blogs with high page rank and post there also. However, I would not to give up on blogs not related, especially if those blogs have a good deal of traffic and page rank.
