Site Published Our Guest Post but Removed the Link Back

[Charlessipe]

I recently developed a nice article for a career site and they agreed to publish it as a guest post.

Once they published the article I noticed they had removed the link back to my site in the byline.

What is a best way to approach this situation? Would you ask them to take down the article if they are unwilling to link back to your site?

Hey Charles,

First, I would get in touch with the website owner or whoever you submitted your guest post to and request that they add your link to the article. I would do this very respectfully, and treat it like it might have been a mistake. I wouldn't even mention that you want to the article taken down if they do not add it, since the ultimate goal is to get the link. Also, I would create the code for the link to make it easy on them.

If they decide not the add the back link (bummer), then it is your call if you want to make the effort to get the article taken down. The only reason I would take the time to get the article taken down is if you have another niche website that will publish the content and will add your link. Otherwise, I would just make note of that website and never guest post for them again.

I hope this works out for you. I know how much time it takes to write good guests posts, so I really hope you get the link out of it.
