By writing posts on OTHER people’s dynamic sites you’re leveraging their traffic rather than trying to build your own following and you can do it at your own time and pace instead of being tied down to a blog schedule.

Of course, I didn’t get into the TRUE secret. Having a static site and linking to it from dynamic sites! You can have your static portfolio site or even just a business card site, and raise it’s appeal to search engines by writing content for OTHER people’s sites and link back to your own.

Because the sites you choose to write for are already high profile, it gives your own site greater weight but cuts down on the amount of maintenance and legwork you have to do. You don’t have to maintain a blog and build your own readership. You can hit an established readership and build your static site’s credibility much faster by writing for other people instead of for yourself.

I’ll have to write more about this and follow up this post with that information. Just think, writing one post for Problogger would give your portfolio site more traffic in a few days than writing a month worth of blog posts for your own site.

That’s why WRA is the only site of my own I write for. Whenever I’ve got something I want to say about a different topic I write a guest post for someone else.
