As you know, I have been working on a new site since the Panda update. It is through Weebly and I had to pay for the domain name and hosting for a year. It cost me all of $40 but half of the AdSense views go to them and half to me. It is a format with which I was familiar having written for the "content farms" which share revenue. Since that model is broken, I decided to start my own site. My only goal is for the site to break even by next February and then I can decide what to do from there.
I have been working hard to develop traffic by doing blog commenting and regularly interacting on other personal finance blogs to develop my name and personality. I decided to contact one of these blog owners about writing a guest post. He was receptive to the idea so I sent him a post, he liked it, and posted it on his site. I am so thrilled! It has a link to my site. I can use Google Analytics to report on the impact later. I am sure you are curious so here is the post:
Options Trading: Intrinsic Value and Time Value
Mark at buylikebuffett.com has a great site. He is a professional investor and writes great posts. If you have any interest at all in stock investing, be sure to check out his site. He is also a great blogger. I appreciate his willingness to let someone untested guest post for his site. I do need to get busy later today and write the follow up piece. I will let you all know when it is up and let you know about the results as well.
Anybody here ever write a guest post? What did it do for your traffic? Did you keep any regular readers? Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I haven't written any guest posts yet but am going to later this month. I just started a new Web site too: www.copyeditingforum.com and will use the guest post to point readers to my site. Good luck with yours. I hope it generates a lot of traffic for you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your new site and guest post. Hope it all works out well for you. I will update a little later on the results of the guest post. The nice thing is that it will be on the net for a long time and will point traffic to my site for years to come.
