Even i have written for a few blogs before . They bring you a lot of exposure and it has worked well for me so far. Nice points you have mentioned Steven. Even i have written for a few blogs before .

I devoured every word! I think writing for other blogs is 100% beneficial. After all, that's how I came to know who you are as a blogger - you wrote for my blog, and I also saw you on many other blogs. Otherwise I might not be a subscriber and reading your site on a daily basis! Writing for other blogs is a great form of exposure and, like you said, it builds up your authority in the subject. I've only guest written for one other blog but I plan to increase those numbers very soon. Thanks for the inspiration. :D This was a fantastic article, Steven. I devoured every word!

That's how I got 90% of my articles published. Thanks everyone for the great feedback on this post. chipseo,

I somehow felt dumb because the site is new as well but something in my mind tells me to continue with it. I am starting another blog soon and this might be the reason I don't feel like helping others to build up a new blog but as your list puts it, the benefits are more than the bads.

The greatest benefit that I have observed so far is the exposure my blog posts get on other blogs. I agree that you might be using your best ideas on other blogs but I think for a newbie blogger it is a better bargain because it is not about how many great blog posts you have on your blog it is also about how much exposure you can initially generate. And I think if you keep thinking about ideas you are never going to run out of them for your own blog. A better way of preserving your good ideas for your own blog is to write for those blogs that although cater to your expertise, do not compete with your blog directly. This also provides you a diversification. It doesn't mean that if you are used to writing on web designing than all of a sudden you start writing on dating blogs but you can write on the blog that can, despite being different from your blog, send you some valuable traffic and earn you the much-needed exposure.
