Since the beginning of time there has always been an evil to match every good. Hercules had Hades, Mufasa had Scar, and of course ….. Luke Skywalker had Darth Vader. Now I’m sure you’ve heard the quote “History Repeats Itself“, well that’s exactly the case for bloggers.
“For every great blog out there, there is a spammer just waiting to pounce on it.”
Well luckily for bloggers, we can actually use spam as a weapon against itself. The one major flaw to spam is that it is VERY easy to spot. Just like anyone in life who is a fake, your natural human instinct can figure them out really quick.

Back in the Old Days of the internet, you could boot up your machine, type in the URL, and go make coffee, confident that your page would be just about ready by the time you got back with your cup of joy.

The first thing to keep in mind when you consider guest posting is that you must guest blog. This is the best way to find new audience and promote your blog.
