Anybody Can Do Blogging, But Not Guest Blogging – My First Book!
Let me first announce the official launch of my first book. I know that you all were waiting for it since long. It really took a long time to convert it into the shape of the book.
As most of you are already aware that I was writing my first book on the topic of guest blogging. I give the title of “Anybody can do Blogging, but not Guest Blogging?” to it.
I am quite sure that you all will anticipate my efforts towards writing this book. Although I planned writing this book in a different way, but then Matt Cutts announced officially the death of Guest Blogging for SEO purposes, which forced me to rewrite it in a different perspective.
You all know that many internet marketing professionals claims that guest blogging is dead. But I don’t agree on the same. In my opinion guest blogging will always remain a great internet marketing tool. Just remember how important article marketing was, but then as it lost its charm, guest blogging is also following the same path.
The main reasons being the fact that people tried spamming these tools badly. If you ask me I will never say article marketing or guest blogging as a dead thing. In fact for me guest blogging is actually the enhanced and betterment of the article marketing only.
If you are having a bit of the knowledge of the things happened in the field of SEO recently, you might say that guest blogging is actually suffering from the poor quality of blog posts, whose ultimate aim was to get a back link for their website.
Those cheap so called SEO guys never give value towards contributing value to other blogs. This was the prime reason why guest blogging failed badly. Now it is the time that we can understand this thing and utilizes guest blogging up to the maximum.
To be very frank the basic concept behind guest blogging was to give value and quality to some other blogs, as similar to the same efforts which you are giving to your own blog. Believe me if you don’t have the tendency of giving the best, you won’t expect the best from anything.
I still get around 3-4 mails on a daily basis, which will claim that they are blah-blah, and loves my blog and wanted to share their blog with my readers, but the moment I open their posts, I can simply utter a single word – Ah.
I cannot allow such cheap blog posts on my blog, on which I am investing so much time, energy and efforts.
I guess none of you will allow a crape (having 3-4 anchor text links towards very poor quality websites) on your blog, will you?
I am quite sure all of you will say a No to my above question.
Well this recent hullabaloo is because of the blog post which Matt shared on his blog. It was about the death of guest blogging, but he clearly mentioned that guest blogging for SEO purposes are dead.
I do accept Matt.
We don’t have any power to argue the anti-spam head of Google. After all our bread and butter go on because of Google only, and you being the boss, how can we say anything against you?
So I do also believe that those who only consider guest blogging as a tool for link building purposes should feel that it is dead.
They should not try their hand into guest blogging.
But then there are people like you who give so much importance about whatever you write, should be rewarded for their efforts.
Well, this is what exactly my book is saying about. If you are feeling a bit low because of this recent hullabaloo about guest blogging, then don’t feel so sad. You can still utilize guest blogging and get the best possible results for your website.
In my book on “Anybody can do Blogging, But not Guest Blogging?” I simply shared all these things, along with how can we do the guest blogging in this scenario and get the best results possible; Believe me it’s not at all difficult.
You can also become a master of guest blogging, as you are already a master as far as blogging is concerned.
If you go through my book, you will come to know about some questions like why guest blogging. What benefits will be get through guest blogging? How to do guest blogging in post Matt Cutts comments scenario? etc. etc.
I guess you all will appreciate this effort of mine. I am quite sure that you all will definitely purchase my book to know all about guest blogging.
To be very frank I did not published the book in paperback form; rather I published the book with the help of the famous eBook site Smashwords, which is a self publishing and distribution company from Californea for eBooks.

Congratulations on the book Alok. Happy to know that a launch has happened.
I do agree with the concept of guest blogging and certainly the idea of quality posts for the guest blogs. I am not sure how much I understand of the SEO, but on a generic sense I would certainly stand by the idea of guest post and recommendations. It is the most direct form of Word of Mouth that can take place on the internet!
Wishing you all success for the book.
Cheers,
