Guest Posting for branding purpose is an excellent strategy. Author stats in Google Webmasters is a great tool that allows us to determine the value of our approved guest posts or contributions. As a writer, we all want to know the exposure our content is receiving in Google. The author stats column displays the pages that are authored by us along with their impressions, clicks, CTR and average position. These are great metrics to judge the level of user engagement and importance our content is receiving on Google. This is awesome because we don’t need GWT access of separate websites to see how our content is performing. We can check impressions and CTR data of every content written by us using a single GWT account.
