PureBlogging

When David first started looking for guest bloggers here at PureBlogging, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I didn’t think I would make a lot of income off of the opportunity, I was mainly doing it to build my reputation as a blogger, better my writing skills, and get some inbound links to my blogs (thanks to David’s byline policy).

This is reason enough for me to continue blogging here at PureBlogging but after reviewing my AdSense earnings for the past month I’ve come across another great reason to continue: PureBlogging has increased my AdSense revenue by 18% and I’ve only submitted a few posts thus far!

For those of you who rely on AdSense as your sole means of income, becoming a guest blogger is a great opportunity to get your ads out there across some new domains. AdSense only brings in 0.6% of my income but its hard to ignore that 18%, especially if I didn’t have such great sponsors.

You don’t have to wait on the blogs to come to you either. Feel free to submit a guest post to any blog you come across with a timeline for use (example: “If you would like to use this post, please do so before XX:XX PST. At this time I’ll be submitting it to YYY.com if it hasn’t been used.”). Albeit, this sort of posting probably won’t bring you any income but it will definitely generate some links to your site - and who doesn’t like traffic?

Guest Blogging is a great way to boost your reputation, improve your blogging skills, and possibly fatten your wallet as well. All without any expense (except for time) on your behalf.
