What is a guest post?

You are currently viewing What is a guest post?

If you want to rank in search engines, you will need backlinks. You can beg for links on sites, but most will ignore such requests. So how do you successfully build backlinks? The secret is guest posting. Offer original, well-written content that is relevant and add value to the site you are pitching. Most sites are hungry for content, as content marketing drives traffic. What we are not hungry for is a random link to some unknown site.

Why don’t you post links for a fee?

We could, but we don’t. We believe our job is to offer valuable content relevant to why visitors came to our site. A link to another site only adds value to the other site, not the reader.

But what if it’s a link to an excellent resource?

Yeah, we get that one a lot. If the resource is useful, you should be able to articulate that in a guest post and convince us that it’s worth leaving this site (which is terrible for us BTW) to visit your site. But if you offer value to our readers, then we are happy to promote your site via a backlink to your site.
