The best and lasting network for Bloggers

We move in different networks to create our own network. But, why do we want to create networks?

There may be a lot of reasons to create a network. But if you think closely and eliminate all those unnecessary points; you will end up with three bullets.

Bullet 1: To let others know about my blog.

Bullet 2: To eventually get a link from their blogs so that you get better ranking and PR love along with some love from more visitors.

Bullet 3: Other reasons that you are yet to discover.

And now look at your own blog:

How many of us have been able to write at least 30 substantial posts in our blog in last 30 days!

I am not talking about those who have just begun blogging or those who are running a group blog. I am talking about lonely bloggers like you me and Adam who depend on themselves after living a hectic schedule (OMG, I need a break from my day’s job) to write a post.

Why don’t you invite other bloggers in your niche to write a guest post in your blog?

Why not?

1. You get quality content without writing even a single word! If the content is duplicate, do not publish it (normally guest posters do not write duplicate content – they must live up to their reputation.)
2. Linking out is never an issue – and if you think the linked site is not worth it, just do not publish the post or turn them no-follow. But please, do not make a link no-follow without asking the author – this is unethical.
3. You get another blogger to promote your blog – if you publish my guest post, I would love to promote that post in my blog and other social networks. And this, in turn would promote your blog in its totality.
4. You actually create a long lasting relationship with another blogger – no social network can help you to create such bonds.
5. Your readers get the taste of a fresh blood (yummy).
6. Come on, your readers are not going anywhere – they read this post because it was published in your blog.

So why not ask for guest posts?
