<p style="text-align: justify;">Few industry experts like: <a href="http://twitter.com/Kikolani">Kristi Hines</a> did a comparison between  Guest Blogging and Article Marketing and found Guest Blogging on a better side than Article Marketing.</p>

If you want traffic from other blogs, you will get links &amp; links control the web.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Get Branding:</strong> It will introduce you on the web, your name and your blog are your brand, and guest blogging helps you get them out there in your industry.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Increase Traffic:</strong> The basic fundamental of guest blogging is to get traffic one has a website which gets traffic. It’s that important, and guest blogging provides it.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fill in a gap:</strong> From a long time if you can’t able to get new people on your site, invite other people to share on the blog in order to keep the frequency of posts up. By catching new people you fill the gap of new traffic.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Get Subscribers:</strong> The readers of a blog are more important than anything else, if you can get in front of an audience on another site; it’s likely that they’re going to <a title="Subscribe eMarketinGuide" href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=OnlineMarketingTipsBlog"><strong>subscribe to your feed</strong></a>. Subscribers are the life and soul of a blog.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Get Credit:</strong> When readers are used to reading posts written by a you , they sometimes assume that a guest post was written by you.</li>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Guest blogging is a great situation for all parties involved. Blog owners win because they get excellent, free content for their site and bloggers win because they get more links and more subscribers on their blog.</p>
<h2>Guest Blogging Guidelines:</h2>
<p>Guest blog post submission process is extremely simple and as long as you follow these guidelines, almost guaranteed:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Relevant Content</strong> – To maximize the      benefits of your article, it has to be on one of the topics covered on the      blog, to ensure good response. Simply look at the list of categories to      decide what content should be submitted.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Useful Information </strong>– People read blogs because they assume they are      going to get useful information from them. Therefore, your writing style      must not be trying too hard to sell itself.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Unique and Exclusive Content</strong> –      article has to be uniquely written and not published else after approval.      Failure to follow this simple rule will get your article deleted from our database.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Up to 3 Links per Article</strong> – You can take benefit      of up to 3 links with desired anchor tags (obviously relevant) from your      article and it could be from the body of article and Author details. You      choose where to place the link, as long as you confirm to the rule.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Only Relevant Product Reviews </strong>– Self      or affiliate promotions will not be accepted be it your product or someone      else’s. You can include a link to site where you do those type of      promotions but not linked directly.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Author Byline</strong> – You can include you      image, real name or your “nickname”. I recommend that at least one of the      links from your byline should lead to a page where readers can learn more      about you.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Formatting</strong> –Will reject any      submissions that have un-formated text. Do cross check to make sure,      formatting is correct.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">My last post was about “<a href="http://emarketinguide.com/2010/12/upcoming-digital-advertising-trend-in-2011/"><strong>upcoming digital advertising trends</strong></a>” in the next year 2011. Digital marketing advertisements are one of the most creative strategies used to promote the websites but what about the other traditional ways like: SEO and specially the power of SEO i.e. <a href="http://emarketinguide.com/category/link-development/"><strong>Link Building</strong></a>. Google is trying very hard to differentiate between quality and non-quality links and that’s why the toughest job of SEO is to select the best links.</p>
<p><strong>Here are the quick notes as best links building practices for your site in 2011:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Social Media</strong> &#8211; Create your profile, generate a good list of followers &amp; engage with them. This is one of the best way to attract natural links and sometime traffic as well.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google Local</strong> &#8211; Configure your website on Google Local before someone else steal it and take the benefit of reservation as-well-as the back-links.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Use brand name in anchor</strong>. Many other SEO’s also preferring these days to use the company or brand name as anchor instead of using keywords in links. Keyword stuffing or using the same keywords as anchor in link building is always a unrecommended tact.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Attract deep links. Deep links are useful.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Quality Quality Quality… Always focus on quality of site &amp; the links.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Priority to authority</strong> &#8211; Try to choose less but only important links. It&#8217;ll be good if you keep less emphasis on PageRank</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope, 2011 will be a year of new technology, algorithms and new hacks to rank your website in top results of search engines.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Few of my friends, who were looking for job change, got many calls for interview. Most of time, interviewer&#8217;s main query was regarding <strong>“Social Media”</strong>. Below mentioned are the major questions they&#8217;ve asked for:</p>
<ul>
<li>How to create social media marketing campaign?</li>
<li>What’s the plan &amp; strategy behind social media?</li>
<li>What are the activities you’re going to do?</li>
<li>What the goals are?</li>

<li>How you’ll measure the results and what will be the expected results?</li>
<li>And what are the risks behind Social Media?</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I thought to write my next post about “<strong>Designing Social Media Marketing Plan</strong>”. Here’s the post content, start with “<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Why</em></span>” word:</p>
