		<description>Ben - I have absolutely no problem with guest posting, as in your case.  It&#039;s when bloggers&#039; blogs, who credit themselves with being the authority in their niche don&#039;t supplement guest posts with quality content from &lt;em&gt;themselves&lt;/em&gt;.  

On particular blogs, I found the guest posts more enjoyable to read and helpful, even if they weren&#039;t tailored to the blog - experiences blogging, in-depth reviews/tutorials of services, and the like - in some cases, with more experience than the blog owner.</description>

		<description>I agree with you - I&#039;ve seen several sites where the guest posts are far too frequent.

So far, I&#039;ve only had two guest posts on my site, and I have another one coming up soon - but they are the exception rather than the rule. This means that virtually all of my site content comes from me.

I think you can get away with publishing excellent guest posts - either on a par with your own posts, maybe even slightly better. I see your point about not putting other people&#039;s posts on your site if they are better than your own, but on the other hand, I&#039;d like the guest posts to be great, too. With this in mind I made sure that the guest writers for my site would be writing about things where they knew more than I did on those topics. I think it&#039;s better to do that than publish a bad post because you don&#039;t know the topic.</description>
