I didn't realize that people are still guest posting but here is my take, based on a long ago previous writing career:
- Make sure the site you're posting on is (highly) relevant to your topic
- Make sure the writing quality is top-notch and original, not AI
- Make sure your angle or spin is different enough to draw interest, make it as unique as possible while maintaining quality
- Sprinkle your keywords and related keywords throughout in a way that makes your writing flow naturally - no link spamming!
- If you are familiar with NLP, use it but limit your obvious promotional text
There ya go, just my thoughts on it.

guest posting is a great way to drive targeted traffic by placing your content directly on sites your audience already trusts. When you publish on relevant, high-authority websites, you’re able to attract readers who are likely to be interested in your niche. For SEO, guest posts can build high-quality backlinks, improving your sites search ranking and visibility
To ensure a high-quality guest post, make sure it provides real value, uses keywords naturally, and includes a clear call-to-action that leads readers to your website. Have you identified any specific sites or blogs where you’d like to guest post?
If done deliberately, guest writing may be a very effective weapon for increasing quality visitors to your website. Contributing worthwhile material to credible websites not only increases your audience but also generates excellent backlinks, thereby strengthening the authority and search engine results of your site.
A few basic errors, nevertheless, can compromise efforts at guest blogging:
Many people hurry into guest posting without considering the authority of the sites they are helping to contribute to. Low Domain Authority (DA) website postings could have little effect on traffic or SEO.
Overloading Keywords: Some tend to stuff articles with excessive keywords or forced links. This often backfires, as high-quality sites expect natural, valuable content.
Ignoring Relevance: Posting on unrelated blogs just for backlinks might yield traffic that doesn't engage with your content. Always aim for sites in your niche to attract interested and targeted visitors.
To maximize results, focus on guest posting on authoritative sites that align with your industry. If you're looking for top-quality guest blogging opportunities, I’d recommend exploring * Edited by Admin *.
Guest blogging is about quality over quantity—posting well-written, relevant content on established sites can make a real difference in driving traffic to your website.

The largest problem with guest posting is that the majority of them today are purchased or paid for and for nothing more than a backlink exchange. This creates unnatural backlinks and when you incorporate an abundance of these unnatural links you will be losing any link juice you were expecting and your SEO will be downgraded.
I receive no less that two dozen sponsored post and guest post requests daily and all of them rely on, and require, a do-follow link exchange. It is a vastly abused process today to disguise unnatural link exchanges and the SE's all know this very well. Google, et al, are (and have been for years now) seeking these out in their algos and they do penalize the sites participating.
Linking and back linking are very important, but they must be relevant and they must be "natural".
