			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been seeing advice all over popular blogs about the <a href="http://northxeast.com/blogging/why-guest-blogging-is-a-powerful-way-to-gain-exposure-for-your-blog/">benefits of guest blogging</a>. Everyone seems to agree (and rightly so) that it&#8217;s a good strategy to get traffic, and more than that, name recognition.</p>
<p>But looking at <a title="Guest blogging poll" href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/02/02/have-you-ever-guest-posted-on-someone-elses-blog-poll/">the latest Problogger poll</a>, the majority of Problogger readers haven&#8217;t written any guest posts. This is interesting to me, because that is the group of people I would <em>most</em> expect to be active guest bloggers—they know the benefits and have the motivation of growing a blog and going pro.</p>
<p>Some of the comments on that post hint at the reasons for not guest posting, and I&#8217;m curious to find out more specifics, so if you&#8217;re <em>not</em> guest posting, I&#8217;d love it if you&#8217;d take this quick poll.</p>
