New blogs often suffer getting enough attention because their name isn’t spread around the town yet. Many bloggers think that they should start guest posting after having a good number of posts on their blog, which is not true! Yes, you’ll see that I started guest blogging when I didn’t even have any idea of this blog (where you’re reading this article).
I believe that once a blog has a couple of posts on it, the blog owner should start guest posting on high PR sites. It literally doesn’t make any sense when one believes to have a good number of posts before guest posting. Here’s a small list of some good sites to write a guest post are -
- Comluv
- BasicBlogTips
- TheBadBlogger
- MyBlogIsMyMoney (I’m Serious,
) and many more!
Benefits of Guest Posting for a New Blog
Guesting on High PR sites have several benefits. These include -
1) Search Engine Ranking
High PR sites always top Google Searches for several keywords. Your guest posts are, hence, also seen on the first page of searches for many keywords. In this way, your site is also optimized as it is put in the Author Box where you get backlinks from. Check out this screenshot below.

2) New BloggerShips – The Real Benefit of Guest Posting
If you’re not aware with the term ‘Bloggership’, it means ‘Relationship with bloggers’. I say that this is the real benefit of guest posting because blogger friends exchange hundreds of ideas with each other. Ask one of my friends Saad Naaem (from SeoAllrounder.Com) how our relationship is! Trust me – building relationships with different bloggers is really helpful and beneficiary.
3) No Age Of Learning
Even a 90 year old has a right to learn something new, and so does a 1 year old! Guest Posting teaches you many things regardless of the niche. It teaches you professional communication, engagement with your commentators, writing styles, unheard but worth buying services/products and much more! Even professional and famous bloggers do guest posting and learn many things. That’s what they love about guest posting the most!
4) Mistake(s) – A Step for Success
At times, blog commentators would correct your mistakes (not grammatical, but the thoughts). These corrections really help you in future and you would probably feel good that there was someone who corrected you. A couple of my guest posts had some powerful debates (not fights!) and it was really informative and fun too! You should always accept the corrections. This is a rule of guest posting.
Hence, if you still think you need to write more on your blog before guest posting, then you’re wrong! Change your mind and do the necessary my friend!
Drop in your comments. Do share any of your unusual guest posting story!
Hey Raaj,
Read your comment on BBT, I’m guest posting on SEOAllRounder (providing Saad publishes it) and also planning on doing a guest post at BBT. I was going to wait a while until my blog picks up some momentum, but after reading this I thought why not just go for it now.

The benefits of Guest Blogging simply can’t be understated. I’ve done a number of guest posts and it’s the residual value that is also of value. Think about how your own niche’s value can benefit the audience of a completely different site’s audience is a good method as well.
As an example, my own main niche of relationship and a completely different niche of copywriting – so how can the benefit of language can be of value to relationships, might be an example of how you can branch out. Never think you’re constricted to guest writing only within your own niche – think of diversity.

Exactly Martin. Guest posting should be done regardless of the niche. If one believes that the site where he/she is guest posting should be in the same niche, he would probably think that he should have friends who are only from his village!
Thanks for passing by!

Hey Raaj
Guest Blogging is surely to go with. Even we did guest blogging with only 8-10 posts on out blog. Its a great way to be known and drive traffic to your site/blog. It is a great way for new bloggers to get recognized.

Hey Richa. Yeah, starting early is really an advantage. New bloggers then regret quitting blogging because they were hardly known by anyone! Check out my guest post on BBT about that – http://basicblogtips.com/give-up-blogging.html

Hey Raaj,
Great to see your blog with useful posts, Yup! I’m also a new blogger, and want others to guest post on my blog, but I believe that Guest Posting on High PageRank Blogs, can give me lot of Exposure. And thus this will boost guest posts on my blog too. That’s really a good tip, I’ve yet only one guest post
that is not on a High PR site, but I’ll soon try to guest post directly on BasicBlogTips or Problogger, but before posting on them.
Am trying to check my guest post if it can be published on Ehsan’s GuideAndNews.com.. Then I’ll be sure that my content is really Awesome.
Anyway, I enjoy reading interesting posts, like yours.. Keep sharing.
