Thanks Rudy. I’m glad you haven’t stopped writing about baseball and politics. Baseball for one is perhaps my favorite subject. One of these days I need to start blogging about it myself.

Glad to hear I’ve inspired you to write more about SEO and accessories.

I’ll email you about guest posting.

Thanks Bryan. Guest Posting is definitely worth trying.

I had a hard time too giving away my first post or two. It’s ok though, if your post attracts traffic and links somewhere other than your site. It still ultimately back flows into your site and helps build your brand.

I’ll email you about guest posting.

Adam I think you have more than enough content already to make guest blogging pay off. And nothing wrong with your design either.

I understand wanting to improve your site first as long as you don’t let it stop you from growing.

Thanks Kristine – It’s true you never know where your next opportunity is going to come from, which is why you have to put yourself out there and place give yourself as many chances as possible for that opportunity.

Great post, Steven. Reading your blog these past several months inspired me to write more about SEO and SEO accessories and split that off into its own blog, separate from the baseball and politics I usually write about.

I’m intrigued by the idea of guest blogging, and am totally on board with the idea of giving away your content. I’ll be watching for when you head out on vacation…!

I always find it a little difficult to hand over a piece of work for a guest post. Is this the one that will go hot and attract loads of traffic and links…?

But ultimately you have to take a long term view. Sure… you won’t get the direct traffic, but long-term readership growth is the name of the game as you point out.

By the way… if you’re a little busy it sounds like you might need a little help with a guest post or two Steven…

I definietly believe in guest blogging too, however I still don’t think I have enough content on my own site (or am happy with my blog design fully) to do this.

You’ve re-inspired my interest in the idea. Gotta get a custom design going first…my stock theme is nice and its beautiful for a free theme but I need something custom…

Guest blogging is such a great idea. I’ve used this tactic with success in the past. You also never know where or when an opportunity will turn up.

This is a great post that every blogger who is trying to grow his or her audience should read.
