Guest Posting guides

Read →Is guest posting allowed by Google?
The short version: Google's spam policies treat links that are bought, or exchanged for content, to manipulate rankings as link spam. They name large-scale guest posting campaigns with keyword-rich anchor links specifically. Google's position is that a link in content you paid for should carry a rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attribute.
In practice, many publishers do not tag paid placements, and many guest posts still pass value. That is the grey area every buyer is working in. The guides below take a plain line on it: choose relevant sites with real readers and editorial standards, keep anchors natural, keep volume sensible, and value a placement for its audience and its mention as well as its link. That approach holds up whatever the attribute says.

Links feed a site. If the site is slow, thin or does not convert, the links have little to lift. Guest posting works best on top of a site built to rank and convert (Web Design) and an SEO plan that knows which pages need the authority (SEO). We build those first when they are missing, then feed them.
