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

Should I embark on this long term link building campaign?
I've been planning to set out on a massive link building campaign for the term 'how to start a business' and I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. (Metrics attached - my site is the last listed and the ones above it are the top ranking for that term) The sites ranking for that terms are on very authoritative domains, but the page link profiles on each of them are poor. This is one of those moments where you think, 'Am I about to waste a tremendous amount of time?' My guide is extremely thorough and I had hoped with a MASSIVE amount of elbow grease outranking pages that had poor content value + only has 4 referring root domains. The problem is, I'm not sure if the powerful overall domain authority would still outrank my newer site. Should I follow through with that general guide or focus on less hard to rank and less searched content? Argh confusion GB3jcsJ.png?1

Link building for big webite. 2500+ posts.
We run a big kids website: http://mocomi.com/ and have over 2500+ posts. Its about 2 years old now. No SEO was done on this site until the last two months when I was hired for SEO. I divided the SEO into 2 parts - on-page and off-page SEO. For the last 1.5 months I did the on-page fixing - correcting URLs, optimizing posts with best keywords, adding meta titles and descriptions to each post, 301 redirects etc. Now that on-page optimization is over, I have to do the off-page thing - build links. But with so much content I'm confused on how should I go forward. Among the 2500 posts I have listed down 700 posts that have real traffic potential so I'm planning to build links to these. But 700 is a huge number which includes our home page, 50+ category pages and rest are posts. So the question is how should I build links to these? Should I pick up each page and build links to it and move to next or as some people suggested, build most links to home page and category pages and that'll pass pagerank to my posts and help them rank. What link building plan would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Is it time to pay for link building?
I've been using the Moz tools for a while now and love them. Our SEO efforts are certainly paying off as we're ranking well for a lot of our desired keywords. That being said, I'm finding link building to be a very frustrating process. As much as I like to be hands on and try to do everything, I'm wondering when it's time to "throw in the towel" and hire someone? Is there anyone else who might have gone through a similar evolution? I'd love to hear some other stories about how or why you decided to hire out your link building. I'd like to think that whatever we spend on link building could likely reduce our reliance on AdWords, although I'm not sure how this would really play out over time.

Link building
Hello everyone, I am building links for an e-commerce site and I need to increase the value of the links we get by placing them on specific pages in order to pass more juice to inner pages. Which part of the website should I point the links to? Because there is no content section on the site what I can do is either link to the homepage (not an option) or link to inner pages such as category/subcategory/product pages. My doubt is that it wouldn't look natural to link to products pages from a piece of content or from a site where people go with the intention not to buy but to get information. Any opinions on this?

Link building during link removal
We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site. I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized. What are your thoughts?

Link building / baiting in the Google zoo
I work for a consultancy, and in the past most of our links have been acquired by giving away privacy statements etc for websites, including a link back in the body of the document, and making it a licensing requirement that the link be kept. We're launchinga new site. We want this one to be whiter-than-white, and would appreciate some advice on the following options. Option 1: no links Remove the links from the documents, and don't require links for the use of the documents. Leave a non-linking credit in the documents. Perhaps ask nicely for links from other pages. Option 2: links on other pages Remove the links from the documents, but make it a licensing requirement that users will link to our site from another page on their site. I appreciate that most won't, but some will. Option 3: retain the links Keep the links in the document, using domain name (with and without http and www) and business name anchor text. Option 4: script the links Use scripts to generate randomized links in the documents, so that no two are the same, but with relevant linking text for the most part. We're risk-adverse with the new site, and it will pick up some links "naturally". We're therefore tending toward option 1, on the basis that it may well generate as many links as option 2. Which of these options would you choose? Are there any other options we should be considering?

Hi all, I am looking to find an actionable, easy to use, link building template to be used by myself as well as across office/clients. Key subject areas for link building have been defined but I am keen to apply a template to past and future link building opportunities as I build on the link building tactics I have a number of link building targets e.g. form competitor analysis, existing links from websites and looking to reach out to amend their anchor text, prospect websites Does anyone have a good insight into categorising the different link building targets by sector? Many thanks Simon
