This tool bar will have an Alexa ranking for each blog considered. If there is no Alexa ranking, look elsewhere.
Obviously, you want to make your guest post on a blog with substantial readers, and the Alexa Toolbar is one way to measure this.
The LOWER the Alexa number the MORE traffic a site is receiving. Yahoo is the most heavily visited site, and so has an Alexa ranking of 1.
Sites with Alexa numbers below 399,999 are getting decent traffic. Anything below 100,000 is getting exceptional traffic.
Go to Google Blog Search and enter:
Looking for “guest post”
Looking For “Guest Bloggers”
“This guest post was written”
“This guest post is from”
“Guest post by”
Make sure the blog has a suitable Alexa ranking.
Obviously you can greatly increase the number of readers who click thru to your blog if you guest post on a blog that covers similar subjects to yours.
To find the blogs relevant to your niche, add your keywords to the search phrase, for example:
Enter the phrase below as is, but change the content in red to suit your blog’s keywords.
Looking For “Guest Bloggers” your keyword phrase
Wanted: “Guest Bloggers” your keyword phrase
When you offer to make a guest post on a specific topic to the host, you’re much more likely to get a positive reception if the host is familiar with you (as in seeing 2 or more recent helpful comments on posts made by the hosts or guests).
You are NOT writing for your own blog regulars but for the host’s audience.
If you can inject a reference to previous psots by the host into your guest post, all the better.
Obviously, you want a text link with suitable keyword anchor text that links to your own blog to appear as a natural flow of the theme of the guest post.
You can find a more complete treatment of this subject from Julia Gulevich’s Guest Writer Posts on the Blogging For Backlinks blog.
I’d be interested to hear of any experiences with guest posts from readers through posting a comment.
Has the experience been positive or negative??
