List of Guest Posting Sites You Should Consider To Submit Your Content

Here are some dos and don’ts to remember when preparing a guest posting plan.

Using these pointers will improve the chances of publishing your guest post with your links.

DO read at least three blog posts on the website before sending something.

Your chances of publishing your piece on a well-known website are highest if it is similar to what they usually post.

Pay close attention to word count, writing style, tone of voice, and consistency. Follow its guest posting guidelines if they are available.

DON’T write content that already exists on a website.

Focus on adding value and creating original content.

Don’t disturb the blog’s editor or followers by providing low-quality content; sending rewritten content is a poor SEO practice.

Choose topics you are more qualified for and enjoy writing about.

Pay attention to a topic if you want people to search for it – but you can give unique insights not found anywhere else.

Prove what makes you expect in your chosen subject.

DO establish a relationship before you write.

It’s unnecessary, but if you want to write for exclusive websites like Search Engine Journal or Search Engine Land, you should establish relationships with their editors or featured contributors to these resources unless you are a notable subject-matter expert.

You can check out who these editors are, their target interests, and where they appear on the web.

If they write for other websites, you can leave comments on their blog posts, share their posts, or interact with them on social media like Twitter or Facebook.

DO write an eye-catching title that matches your content.

The title is the first thing people see before reading content, and it must communicate the overall blog post, along with user-friendly subtitles.

That’s why relevancy is significant here.

If your title looks like “How to create SEO-friendly content” and you write about copywriting tips, you will increase your bounce rate and delude your readers.

DON’T send the same guest blog to multiple sites.

Blog editors like original content.

When someone sends me content for publication, I always use Google to check out whether an article has not been published previously elsewhere.

If you want to repurpose the content you’ve published in the past, make significant changes to stick to the same general concept.

For instance, you can repurpose a “10 SEO Tips” list into a FAQ format.

DO send unique and relevant images to the blog editor.

If you review any software or write a list of your favorite Android apps, try to include relevant screenshots of them.

Add a table or graph to prove your data when you write a case study or educational content.

DON’T link stuff.

Sending your guest post, check out how many links your content contains. If it includes 5-6 links, you have the chance of having it rejected.

Everyone knows your guest post to get a high-quality link, but don’t overdo it and follow the guidelines.

Including a link in the article should look natural and relevant to the topic you want to compliment.

Most blog editors generally allow adding one link within your blog post and one link to your bio line.

Don’t guest post to sites that aren’t related to your area of expertise.

If you don’t have enough skills or knowledge about the topic, skip this website. Find a relevant one where you can cover areas where you already have some expertise to build quality links.

For instance, if you run a dental or law website and want to submit a guest post to a digital marketing blog, write about “Common dental or legal mistakes website owners make” or “Top ways to generate organic traffic for dental or law websites”.
