What is guest blogging?

simply , Guest blogging is to blog in the other's blogs in order to gain back link to your site or make reputation " your brand name " or to increase your visitor . 

Guest blogging is a method to bring more traffic to a site/blog. But the difference now is that the article or blog post that you write will have to be worthy of sharing by the blog owner( on whose blog you are guest blogging).Gone are the days of simply posting a blog and praying to get landslide traffic. Blog owners have become smart and won't take run of the mill blog posts now.Also, guest blogging has to be relevant to the niche (target audience segment) on which your own blog is running.So doing a digital marketing blog post on a science blog is pretty useless and could invite penalty from Google big time.
