It sounds good to read any post which is saying guest post is not dead and still useful. No doubt some people are using this method just for spamming but if we build natural guest post on websites related to our niche then it will improve our website ranking.

Amen to that. Too many publications don’t build relationships with guest bloggers. You want to attract guest bloggers who want to build value, not links.

I think that’s a fair assessment, James. Marketers should remember that there are plenty of high quality websites to guest post on still and the ecosystem hasn’t been ruined entirely. The quality publications determined quality guidelines for guest blogging long ago.

Thank you for stopping by Nick! Your comments couldn’t be truer. SEO is still important, but marketing your business and building your brand outweighs this.

There are technical aspects of SEO that remain important but everything else should be down to good marketing – create quality content and build relationships. Stop chucking out content just for links and use it for engagement, traffic and branding instead. Link should always be a bonus, not the primary goal.

If you ask me, guest blogging HAS been ruined by search marketers, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a place in an outreach strategy.
