SEO And Guest Blogging Are Always Tied Together

Ways to stop Spamming Guest posts:

Guest Blogging is the best way to boost traffic and increase sales for a site. Right now, it is becoming spammy. This is because some companies are sending emails to every blogger they see asking to guest post. Guest posting is not worthy now, as companies are publishing irrelevant low quality content in guest post. So, most of the Bloggers are now ignoring such email request by knowing the people those are just hitting up for getting backlinks. So, Search engines may prefer following activities to make guest blogging worthy again.

1. Lay more weight on social signals.
2. Cut down guest-post links from irrelevant blogs and rich anchor text from guest post.
3. Concentrating more at author rank to identify whether the content is high or low quality.

Also, considering guest posting just to rank for specific head terms, is not a better long-term strategy. But continuously doing guest posting will surely boost the traffic, overall sales and improve overall site authority.

It is quite true that now it is possible to get links from higher authority resources like Huffington Post, Business Insider etc., by applying for guest author accounts. There are some blogs with a specific option called “Instant Publish”, which publishes the guest post without an editor’s review.
