The advantages of the guest post for the guest blogger
For the guest editor, the guest post allows him to build his main notoriety on the blogosphere or on the web in general. It is in a way a personal branding that will influence his image, but also on his personal blog.
Through the authorized links, the guest blogger can advertise his own site or blog (if it is not yet well known). He can recover direct traffic to his personal site. Thus, these authorized links (backlinks) can also contribute to its natural referencing if the guest post is going to be published in a site or a blog already considered relevant by Google.
The advantages of the guest post for the blog editor
For the blog editor or the host of the publication, the guest post allows him to obtain and enrich the content of his site/blog. This is a real time saver, especially if he cannot update his content regularly. It is also a way to diversify publications and build a database of quality articles.
If the guest post is of quality, the blog editor can generate direct audience or traffic through authorized links. This also contributes to the natural referencing of the host site.
The challenges of the guest post
If the guest blogger most often has great freedom in the choice of article, keywords or links, the stakes for the host site are still high.
The host blog must check the quality and relevance of the content of the guest post because this can harm its natural referencing. It can also create editorial inconsistency.
On the other hand, guest blogging can be penalized by Google's algorithms if it is the only editorial strategy used by a site.
