Become a guest blogger. You’ll have an immediate, captive audience and an incredible opportunity to build and refine new relationships with the very people who are potentially most important to your future.

Of course, in the content of your blog, you’ll probably leave a link to two back to your own site.  As you probably know, Google will consider these links to your site as “votes” for your site.  More link juice for you. More power for your site. More power means better chances to rank well in Google’s organic search results.  Same with MSN and Yahoo.

This year, resolve to be a guest blogger at least two times every month. Later, you might suggest a link exchange with the blog owners.  Test the waters today.  I think you may enjoy it. And who doesn’t enjoy new, meaningful relationships.
