Hi @elenamendez
In 2024, after the March core update. What strategy we should follow to build quality guest post backlinks?
Before this recent core update, I was only building links on free guest post sites but Now, I realized that we should avoid such type of free register guest post sites...
So, could you please advise on the following:
- How can we find guest post sites that will accept our submissions without payment? (Yes, I will provide them with original content)
- What should we include in our email pitch to these sites?
- Is it effective to outreach to these sites? (I've noticed there is a very low response rate)

Everything You Need to Know About Financial Market
What is Financial Market?
Financial market is a word that describes the market in which bonds, stocks, securities, currencies are traded. Few financial markets do safe trillions of dollars in business every day, and some are small and less active. These are the markets in which businesses increase their cash, companies reduce risks, and investors make more money.
The importance of financial markets
The financial market is the space where the buying and selling of financial assets and securities takes place. It allocates limited resources to the country's economy. He serves as an agent between investors and collectors, raising capital between them.
In the financial market, the stock market allows investors to buy and trade shares in public companies. The issuance of new shares is first offered on the primary stock market, while the securities are traded on the secondary market.
Types of financial markets
Over the Counter (OTC) - They operate a public stock exchange that is not listed on the NASDAQ, American Stock Exchange, and New York Stock Exchange. In the OTC market, companies are usually operated by small companies that can be sold cheaply and are less regulated for nifty support and resistance levels.
Bond Market - The financial market is where investors lend money against bonds as collateral for a specified period of time at a predetermined interest rate. Bonds are issued by corporations, states, municipalities and federal governments around the world.
Money Markets - They trade highly liquid and short maturities and lend securities with maturities less than a year.
Derivatives market - they trade securities whose value is determined by their underlying asset. The value of a derivative contract is governed by the market price of the underlying entity, the derivatives market securities, including futures, options, CFDs, forward contracts and swaps.
The Forex market is a financial market with RSI bullish stocks in which investors trade currencies. It is the most liquid financial market in the world.
What are Crypto Currencies?
Cryptocurrency is digital money. This means there is no coin or banknote - everything is online. You can transfer cryptocurrency to someone online without intermediaries, such as a bank. Bitcoin and Ether are well-known cryptocurrencies, but new cryptocurrencies continue to be created.
People can use cryptocurrency for fast payments and to avoid transaction fees. Some may receive cryptocurrency as an investment, hoping that its value will increase. You can buy cryptocurrency with a credit card or, in some cases, get it through a process called mining. Cryptocurrency is stored in a digital wallet online, on your computer or other hardware.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer digital currency that allows instant payments to anyone around the world using encryption keys, thereby protecting the identity of traders for trading resistance and support. In other words, Bitcoin is electronic money that uses peer-to-peer networks and removes the need for a financial institution. This means that there is no physical currency, it is not issued or controlled by any authority, unlike traditional currency, which is regulated by banks and government regulations.
Unsurprisingly, bitcoin support and resistance levels emerged in 2008 just after Occupy Wall Street accused major banks of misusing borrower money, defrauding customers, tampering with the system, and charging staggering fees. The pioneers of Bitcoin wanted to hold the seller accountable, eliminate middlemen, remove interest fees, and make transactions transparent in order to hack corruption, create organic value on the network, and lower fees. They created a decentralized system where you could control your money and know what was going on, regardless of the banks.
Bitcoin coinmarketcap has advanced far in a relatively short time. Companies around the world, from REEDS Jewelers, a major US jewelry chain, to a private hospital in Warsaw, Poland, accept its currency. Billion-dollar companies like Dell, Expedia, PayPal and Microsoft do the same. Websites promote it, publications such as Bitcoin Magazine publish its news and price shares, forums discuss cryptocurrency and trade its coins. It has an application programming interface (API), price index and exchange rate.
Problems include account hacking by thieves, high volatility and transaction delays. On the other hand, people in third world countries may find Bitcoin as their most reliable channel to transfer or receive money.

Hi there,
Just to add to the current answers, guest posting can still add value but needs to be done for reasons that aren't just about the link. There needs to be more value added so that you focus on quality over quantity.
I wrote a post on this a few months ago which goes into lots of detail which may be helpful to read.
Cheers.

Hello There,
If you are placing a sponsored post on a site now, there are many relevant websites that have been set up to accept guest posts, even with good DA and PA and traffic Google advises you to add a tag without an index or rel sponsored to the links coming out of it.
It depends.
If it's the usually low-quality guest post, then no.
If you're on websites that have been set up to accept guest posts, then no.
If you are on websites where it is easy to get a guest post then no.
If it's a genuine business website that doesn't accept guest posts and has its own clean link profile, and the content is really good and ranks on Google on quality then it still works.
Regards:
Sam Nemo

Yep the latter makes perfect sense, but so many sites are scared of offering post opportunities because of what is going on with Google, that there are not many that will do it. Those that do are unlikely to be offering do-follow links.
I would try things like Help a Reporter Out and getting in with Journalists to get good inclusion. This is more like PR than it is link building.

Hi Andy, Thank you for your reply. Here is another reply I got from another agency: ''It depends. If it's the usual low quality guest posting then no. If it's on websites that have been set up to accept guest posts then no. If it's on websites where it's easy to get a guest post on then no. If it's a genuine business website that doesn't accept guest posts, and has its own clean link profile, and the content is really good and ranks in Google on merit of the quality... Then yes'' The problem here is how to get backlinks from a genuine business website that doesn't accept guest posts?

Hi,
I would advise you stay away from using guest posts to build backlinks - it is a bit of an old strategy and anyone can post an article on a site and then place a link in it. I have seen less and less value from these as time has gone on - to the point I stopped offering this as a service altogether some time ago.
If you are placing a sponsored post on a site now, Google advises that you add a no index or rel=sponsored tag to the link(s) coming out from it.
There is no substitute for good old honest editorially aquired backlinks - they just take more work.
Andy

Paid Manual 10 Guest Post EDU Back-Links - GOOD or BAD idea?
Hello, I know **Fiverr **has been a topic of discussion for a while in regards to cheap and bad SEO work. Most of the threads I found here refer to buying 1000's of EDU backlinks - but what about 10 manually placed that seem legit? The seller states in his GIG "I have guest posting privilege at Different University websites. I will write and publish a post there with a dofollow backlink to your website, using your anchor text. The article will contain one relevant, contextual link to your website, using a suitable anchor text. There would also be a few other links to authority sites (not your competitors’ sites) to make everything look professional and natural." Could anyone give me advice as to something like this is worth it - or did the seller simply reduce the number from 1000's to 10's to avoid suspicion? I mean even if 1 of the links is valid - surely it makes a difference? or am I still high on the fiverr dream? I dont expect an instant PR or SERP increase, Im simply wondering if something like this is harmful or beneficial, and to what extent.

I am looking for a software to keep track of the back links or link building
Hi Guys, I am very new hear. I just joined. I have a few websites that I need to manage. I am looking for a software that will allow me to manually add the links that I have been able to acquire. It would also be a bonus if it could search for the links to my site and to see if its still active. Because I have a freelancer working a few hours a week on link building and I need to keep track of the links. I am looking for something simple and good. Any suggestions? By the way, I used Raven Tools many years ago, and it had this feature. But since joining Moz, I don't want to be paying for 2 subscriptions. And I don't know if Raven still has this feature. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Ryan

Link building - where to start?
Okay - we have around 200 natural links pointing to our domain, some good, some not so good; today I've spent some time removing any bad, spammy links pointing to our business domain and we're just about there. Now I'd like to start a link building strategy. To be fair, I've assumed for the past year or so that link building is dead, unless you can get natural, really good links - which in the mobility and elderly products industry can be quite difficult. I have recently created a blog on our website - could RSS feeds be a benefit too?

Most significant link building factor
Am I right in thinking the most important link building factor is the number of unique linking root domains? Multiple links from a domain won't help me so much?

Should I optimize/link build all my pages at once?
I'm currently starting to optimize about 30 area specific pages for a property maintenance company and was wondering, what's the best way to link build multiple pages at once? Should I link build for all of the 30 the pages at once, or maybe focus on 5 individual pages - get them ranking well, then focus on the next 5 and so on?
