I just wrote my first guest post ever over on Copyblogger.com, “Why You Shouldn’t Write For Other Writers”.
Traffic spikes can be quite addictive. The type of blog post that might get you a lot of “bloggerly love” may not be (and probably isn’t) the kind of blog post that gets people to buy whatever it is you’re selling.
Traffic and influence are great. It’s lovely having all these people kissing your hiney at social media conferences.
But at the end of the day, it’s not the A-Listers or the pajama-clad, Web 2.0 basement-dwellers who are paying your mortgage. It’s the regular shmoes with a regular problem who are willing to pull out their credit cards to get it solved.
I hope you’ll go check it out, Thanks.

Another good reason not to do guest posts is that sometimes you end up posting on sites that are total crap.
I’m not saying that’s what you’ve done … but … yes I am.
