More Guest Blogging Tips
Don't repeat articles
Hey! Do your homework. Check out their blog. Comment on a few articles. Learn the way the website owner writes and the persona he/she has created. Get a feel of what the readers are seeking and be sure to not offer up a guest post article on a topic that the website owner has already covered! Yes, it seems like a simple request, but it happens - I assure you. Don't get "egg on your face."
Don't do the Shotgun
Another thing I have seen blog owners do is the "shotgun approach". Be selective of the websites you approach for a guest blogging opportunity. You're going to put some time in this. Research their website. Is it clean and professional? Will you be proud to be associated with your new "relationship"? Don't just approach them because you think you will get approved. As with all backlinks, Quality is far better than Quantity!
