Guest posting is a common bit of advice a lot of affiliate bloggers talk about, but should you actually be doing guest posting? I’ve been able to grow many successful blogs without a single guest post, so the answer is clearly that you don’t *have to* if you don’t want to.

What’s more, guest posting in the wrong way could actually be detrimental to your website according to Google SEO experts. At best, it might be a waste of time.

That being said, I don’t think that Google is actively hunting down websites who publish guest posts because there are some legitimate reasons to want to connect with readers of other blogs, and I think there are some good ways to guest posting in a legit way. I think it could help some people, in some situations, if done correctly.

If you like the idea of being social and doing some guest posts, go for it. I wouldn’t even worry about nofollowing links. If you, like me, think doing outreach and link begging is a pain in the ass, then you can safely skip this bit of common SEO advice.
