5 Reasons Why Your Guest Post was Rejected
Being an enthusiast blogger, I decided to guest blog. It seemed to be an easy task which later turned out on an opposite front. Guest blogging is done to get quality traffic and make attempts to gain repute for one’s own site. Aiming for not more than two posts per day, I made up a plan. My motive was to write a quality post that will serve both the users’ and mine purpose as well. And, I aimed at increasing this speed of post creation after sometime. But sadly enough most of my guest blogging attempts met failure.
I had decided to figure out the reason and then restart my attempts and make every post a popular blog post. And, it was not difficult for me to figure out the reasons. The admins of the site where I guest posted were kind enough to mention the reason of the rejection.
5 Reasons Why Guest Posts are not Accepted
I made a long list of the mistakes I made when guest blogging. And, here are 5 of them. Go through them and get your guest post approved.
1. Erroneous Grammar and Spelling
Even if you have a habit of scanning your guest post before submitting it, at times either you fail to do so or some mistake still remains. Not just the amateurs but also the professionals tend to commit silly grammar or spelling mistakes. There are some typos too. And, almost every site has a human reviewer sitting to moderate your post. He will never accept such erroneous posts. To avoid this mistake, at least proofread your posts twice before submitting it. This will leave no room for any grammar, spelling or typo mistake.
2. Error in Establishing Communication
Blogging is synonymous with communication and engaging with your audience.A blog thatlacks this feature is bound to get rejected. Get your users engaged in a conversation and ask them to give in their feedback. This will impart conversing tone to your post.
3. Error in Following Guest Post Guidelines
I forgot to mention this at the very beginning. But yes this is a very serious mistake that most of the bloggers tend to do. Before you start writing post for a site, read the guidelines mentioned there; failing to do it, will definitely result in guest post rejection.
4. Error in the Content’s Layout
Formatting the post well is the key to getting the guest post submitted and failing to do so results in rejection. Write a guest post and draft it in a readable format. Format your blog in HTML using WordPress, if you are submitting posts via email.
5. Promotional Pitch of the Post
No blog owner will approve a post that is nothing but self-promotion. Keep in mind that you are writing for the benefits of the readers; to provide them solution to the problem. Self-promotion will shove your guest post in the ditch of rejection.
