No doubt, Guest Posting is one of the best way to get back links as well as helps to increase your Google page rank. Everyone do guest blogging on others blog,
- some people do for getting traffic
- some are do for getting backlink
- some are do for fame and build reputation on blogging world
It helps many New as well as Pro Blogger to build backlinks to their blogs easily with the help of Guest Posting , many blogger take benefit from it.
but can you ever think it has also a hidden part that harm you slowly slowly. I don’t say it is completely wrong but it also has a disadvantage, or I want to say secret of Guest Posting that damage you and your blog. but how?
How Guest Posting Harm a Blogger?
Guest posting has harm you in many ways like:
- Get Low page Rank Link Juice
- Getting Low Traffic
- Time Consuming & Giving your Hard work to others Blog!
1. Getting low Page Rank link juice
Yeah! you listen right Now ,
You say : How you get low Google Page Rank Link Juice than Blog has
Because You know every page has its own & Different page rank.For Eaxmple: This Blog that is AllBloggingTips.Com has a Page Rank=3,now we are going to do guest posting for this blog and after our posts published,can you think that Back link pointed to your blog in author bio has a pr3 links.
No no No 
it is completely wrong pr3 is the only page rank of the Home Page of this Blog not all posts and pages of this blog. According To this example it depends how much page rank your guest posts get by Google Page Rank Algorithm.
2. Getting Low Traffic
Many webmaster & Blogger face this situation they get no or very less traffic from Guest Posting on another Blog.
So Why they get no or less traffic? 
Let’s say they have low quality content but a blog owner that accept post will never accept low quality content. So what is the reason?
The Reason is that guest Blogging is not very effective way to get traffic it is mostly work for increasing page page rank and link building for your blog, it is the best way to increase your page rank only!
Let me know in comments, If I am wrong!
3. Time Consuming & Taking your Hard work!
It is not the best way to increase traffic as I told already but it is also very time consumable thing to do for a blogger because most bloggers are student, part time blogger, or busy with any other work so those bloggers have more time value than pro blogger.

I am Agree your all point. But without guest posting we can not get high page rank. you are right it is time wasting. But it is important. why pro blogger give suggestion to us. they are always told us do guest posting and get high traffic with good rank. your thinking right but you also published guest post for page rank sake on allbloggingtips . if I am right. So why guest posting not important for us
All of that your article is informative and valuable.

Ya i do for getting backlink for my blog to get rank.i am not it was completely wrong i want to say that its also have disadvantage that’s it.

Hi Hussain,
Agreed with you post… we submit guest post to high pr blog that’s doesn’t means we got high pr backlinks as you have mention pr are different for every pages. I want to ask you that how we can submit guest post to high PR page ? for that we have to replace the content of valid pr and paste our content with link that’s not possible. When new post is submitted it always have 0 pr after google consideration it gets some valid PR.

I Give you suggestion that you should submit Guest Post near 1 month before Page Rank update this you will get after one month your High Page Rank
and i don’t understand the meaning of your third to 4th line
Hussain Saifi recently posted..Send Your Tweat to anyone with Twitter new Features
Hi Hussain Saifi !
I mean to say that every new post have 0 pR there is no option to post to high PR page. Lets take and example this page have PR2 http://allbloggingtips.com/2012/09/20/tips-to-quickly-sell-ad-spaces/ If i will submit new post off course the page rank will be 0 so my thought was we always submit guest post to 0PR page. If i am wrong then please clear my concept.

Hi Hussain Saifi,
You know 3 disadvantage about doing guest posting. But you also have written 2 guest posts in allbloggingtips.
Yeah. I am agree with your all points. But we have to do guest posting because less traffic is better than no traffic. 
However, I didn’t write a guest post. Reason for that is your 3rd point. I haven’t time to write a guest posts. But I think, I should do something to get more traffic and quality backlinks.

These side effects are very new according to my knowledge. But As I think doing hard work for the promotion of the blogs is very necessary part of blog writing. Writing guest posts in other high page rank blogs is very necessary for the bloggers success. Thanks.
Well that’s entirely true, each has it’s own pros and cons. But guest posting is one of the safest link building methods

HI Hussain,
As for PageRank, keeping all things mind, guest blogging still gives you the highest quality of backlinks back to your blog. For traffic, yes it depends. The more you guest post, more can will be the traffic to your blog. And yes I agree with you that it takes a bit of hard work and is time consuming. But after all everything good takes time and efforts to happen. Isn’t it?

Hi, guest posting is an interesting topic.
I have written a few guest posts and also have guest writers on my blog. One of the reasons that I write guests posts is to enable me to write on topics that don’t fit into my blog theme.
As Santanu mentioned in his comments, “guest blogging is becoming curse after Google Panda and Penguin updates,” so it is important to make sure that any guest posts fit with the theme of your blog.
Thanks,
Jim

Amazing Insight! Guest blogging does seem to have its drawbacks! We are also testing several different guest blogging techniques and updating ourselves as we go! Thanks for the input:)
well,
I think guest post gives a benefit to both of them. Guest blogger gets a back link and blog owners get content and may be traffic.
Thank you for letting us know about some damages for blogs.
Thank you

I don’t agree with you completely. There are only a few side effects like keeping more concentration on the guest post blog. Other than this I don’t feel anyone of the point as a side effect.

I believe guest posting is having a lot more advantages than the possible damage which you had pointed out. For a new blogger it is always better to do guest posting to get some explosure and to make some fellow blogger connections.
But I do agree to your point that its time consuming and not much traffic to gain from it.
