The more established your blog and website become, you will see an increase in comments and guest blogging requests. I recently had to deal with my first unpleasant comment, and to make my life easier in the future I added a comment policy to my site, outlining what is allowed on my website and what isn't.

I then received a request for a guest blog on my site, which sadly was just a request to republish old content from their site. We all want original content when it comes to guest posts on our site. So I did some research and published a guest blogging policy on my site to help potential guest bloggers send adequate articles to me for review.

So now I want to share my experience and show you my policies to give you an idea of what you can include in yours. Having these policies in place gives you a good blueprint on how to deal with comments and guest blogs and can save you a lot of time in the future.

So here it goes.
