  6. Great tips for guest blogging, Praveen.
    I like the point about promoting your guest blog, this is a good way of strengthening your relationship with the blog you are posting on, they always appreciate extra mentions, links and traffic. It is also great for you, as it gives more authority to the page, and the link back to your site!
