I would love to guest post or have someone guest post for my site but I have no idea really how to approach it? What are the expectations from either side.

I’ve guest posted on another blog and found it a really good experience. It brought a lot of visitors to my blog and was a nice cross-connection to make. I was approached directly by a blogger and it was a compliment to be asked. I was also asked to do further collaboration which due to time constraints I had to turn down – however it shows that there can be a snowball effect.
Both of my blogs are very much ‘my own’ so I’m not looking for guest posters but I would like to think I can guest post for others more in the future.

I just started a “new blogs” website to help people with new blogs, market and promote to readers. This is a valuable resource to new blogs, because having other sites link to you is important for SEO, plus, it shows your blog off to thousands of bloggers looking to network with people like yourself and exchange links. It also showcases your blogs to readers, specifically looking for new and interesting blogs to read. To get added, visit http://newestblogs.wordpress.com/, review the submission guidelines, and email me :)

@Annie @ PhD in Parenting I can actually see some of your articles on a friend’s website (a couple). They distribute toddlers’ care ebook and have good advise in their blog. Find them here:—> http://www.twitter.com/dominiquegoh

I am currently exploring and considering a few requests of guest-posts. But like Annie, I can only guest-post on subjects I am familiar with. I don’t like giving crap content.

And of course, I am learning A LOT from the interactions here! Thanks to Darren!

If you have trouble keeping up the content on your own blog…I think I have too many blogs but I like the varied topics quite a bit.

I have guest posted on a couple of other blogs upon request. I’ve never approached anyone about writing a guest post and so far I’ve turned down any offers to guest post on my blog because they haven’t been a good fit with my subject matter/audience (someone wanted to guest post about a Christian single’s Web site….ummm….I write an atheist parenting blog).

Yes i have but only if the content are good,

Btw Darren, you seemed to have a problem with your database, why don you upgrade your hosting or remove some of your old blog post, cause i think Problogger is getting heavy to load and have much problem,

- My 2 cents

I have never made a guest post but i’m looking forward to do some. I think it’s a good way to get some reputation on the niche.

I’ve been invited a few times. I submitted just one a few days ago because I could write one related to the requester’s niche blog but still there’s no guarantee he’d publish it. I did however, told him I’d appreciate if he changes his mind because I have another blog I can submit my post to! lol

I don’t know about the existing guest-bloggers but I feel that if I guest-blog for you, only YOU should have that blog post. A little like a gift but I am still taking credits for the post.

Guest-bloggers do not have contracts of any kind. Pliagarism is the worse kind any blogger has to deal with, apart from bad publicity on another blogger’s blog and spam, or writers’ block

No I have not guest posted on someone else’s blog nor have I been approached by anyone wanting to guest post on my blog either. I guess it’s something to think about however.

Yes, I just did a series of 3 guest posts for someone, all of which just went up in the last 2 weeks.

I have another post I am about to start for a different blog this week.

I guess posted once but got tricked. They didn’t linkback and just used it. I just got merged in as one of their contributors.

I would like guest bloggers as well as to be a guest blogger but I’m just joining the “full time blog” community regularly so don’t know many of you yet.

My blog is on microstock and stock photography and my writing topics could include photography, business, marketing, image, commercial photography, or anything of that vein.

I’ve actually guest posted on this blog and it was a blast. Nice traffic bump too!

I haven’t guest posted yet, but I’ve had a few offers. The offers are still there, so I better get on it, lest they get rescinded. I do realize it is not proper to make a blog owner wait, and that it is me who would be wasting the opportunity…

I just did a guest post on Caroline Middlebrook’s blog and it was a great experience, I really enjoyed it and got a lot of positive responses from her readers as well as lots of traffic and new subscribers at my blog.

We just recently did a guest post on The Urban Muse, which is posting in a week or so. It was a fantastic experience, and I really enjoyed collaborating with other bloggers.
