What Guest Blogging Should Be For
There are so many benefits to guest blogging, but it’s really baffling why some guest bloggers do it exclusively for the links. While getting link love is still important when guest blogging, making it the obvious focus of your guest blog is a major turnoff, especially to search engines. Guest blogging for links, after all, is in violation of search engine guidelines, but what’s puzzling is that people do it just the same. They only realise the folly of their actions when Google penalizes them, and you certainly wouldn’t want that to happen to your site, do you?
So if you’re still intent on reaping the benefits of guest blogging, we suggest that you do it not to chase links, but for the reasons we will enumerate below. After all, these are what guest blogging should be for.

Which Emotion Makes People Decide To Share and Trust According to Science
For an Internet marketer, it is an inherent goal for their posts, emails and other contents to be actively shared by readers and recipients with other people. These, however, have to contain certain emotions in order to be shared as actively as we want. This is the gist of an article written by Courtney Seiter for Buffer.
The four basic emotions
Seiter cites a study conducted by the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow, which says there are actually only four “basic” emotions: happy, sad, afraid/surprised, and angry/disgusted. And these emotions, according to Seiter, have to be present in posts and emails for people to actually share them to their friends.
Happiness, for its part, is already a main driver for social sharing. The more positive the content, the more likely it is going to become viral. Sadness, however, also triggers sharing as it helps us connect and empathise. Fear/surprise, meanwhile, make us desperate for something to cling to, as well us feel a greater attachment to any given brand. Lastly, there’s anger/disgust, both negative emotions that are positively associated with virality.
