Guest Blogging or Guest Posting is one of the ways of link building that can provide you good and authoritative backlinks to your website or blog. In Guest Posting we blogger request the other bloggers to put up our articles or blog posts to their blogs with a link pointing towards our own blog. This would benefit both of the bloggers as one blogger get the link and the other one gets the article or blog post. So, even if any of the blogger is not a good content writer than he/she can ask others to write and in return will provide others the backlink.
Benefits of Guest Blogging sites in SEO
Guest blogging has lots of benefits in SEO as it is one of the rapid ways to gain quick rankings in search engines. Links available on good and authoritative blogs can provide you good rankings in search engines. Getting so many links from low authoriative , low Page Rank (PR), and less domain authority (DA) can even penalize you in the Google. So, avoid those guest posts. Search for good guest posting opportunities and double check the authority of blogs before providing them your article or blog post. A good list of Guest posting or Guest blogging sites can helps you a lot in SEO.
How to Find Guest Blogging Opportunities
The very first thing that you should while searching for Guest blogging or Guest posting opportunities is to find relevant guest post and niche related guest posts that are exactly related to your industry. The audiences or visitors of those blogs should also be interested in your products or services as well. The blogs should have good Alexa rank, Page rank and good domain authority. The posts of the blog should have good amount of comments and they do have good social sharing status. The blog owners should have active engagement in social media sites. If all these creteria fulfulled than you can ask from the bloggers for a backlink and provide them the quality and unique written article. You should write on a topic that is not already written on the bloggers blog before.
Google is one of the great platform from where you can find the guest posting opportunities. In order to find out the list of guest blogging sites, you can use the following searches. Just replace the keyword with keywords related to your industry
keyword “guest post”
keyword “submit a guest post”

These searches should lead you to a blog’s guest post guidelines page, guest post submission page, or actual guest posts by other writers.
Guest Blogging Communities
Guest Blogging communities are the other way to get more guest posts. Few of the famous guest blogging communities through which you can find tons of guest posts and on which I personally do have good experience are as follows:

How to Guest Posting or Guest Blogging Submissions?
Once you find the list of blogs for guest posting, the next thing is to collect the email id’s of the bloggers so that you can send them the requests for posting your article. Send the blog owners a request to publish your article on their blogs in a really polite and humble manner. One such example as how you can send the blog owners request for posting your article can be as follows:
I hope this email finds you well. I’ve been an avid reader of your blog. I personally enjoy these posts of yours:
I think that they are wonderful and to the point.
Anyhow, I thought I’d shoot you an email because I think I may have some topics that your audience would appreciate.
I know you’re probably busy, so I’m gonna make an offer you can’t refuse ;).
How about, I write it for you? Don’t your worry. I have written topics that are related to the above.
