Reputable Place For Guest Posts

We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic?
I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

For reputable places to submit guest posts, consider well-established platforms and authoritative sites in your industry. These can provide valuable exposure and high-quality backlinks.
I also get backlinks for my TradeUpvcwindows website from similar reputable sites, which has been beneficial for our online presence.Submitting guest posts to reputable platforms has significantly enhanced the online presence of TradeUpvcwindows by generating valuable backlinks from authoritative sites in the industry.

If you’re looking for a reputable place for guest posts, it’s essential to choose sites with high domain authority (DA) and an active audience relevant to your niche. Quality backlinks from trusted sources can really boost your SEO and drive targeted traffic.
I’d recommend checking out guest posting website list. We specialize in offering a curated list of high-DA guest posting sites across various niches, so you can secure impactful backlinks from credible sources. With Vefogix, you’ll find trustworthy platforms that help elevate your brand’s online presence effectively.

I totally get where you're coming from! It can be tough to find quality places for backlink outreach that actually drive real traffic. One option you could explore is HARO (Help a Reporter Out). It's a solid platform where journalists seek expert insights for their articles, and you can contribute your content, gaining backlinks from reputable outlets.
Also, have you considered reaching out to niche blogs directly in your industry? If you’re working with something like Expert Grill Parts or other specialized products, finding grilling or DIY bloggers who already have established audiences could be a great fit. They often appreciate high-quality content, especially if you’re an expert in your field.

@dotemna If you’re noticing that your website’s Domain Authority (DA) hasn’t changed despite your SEO efforts, it can be frustrating. But several factors might explain why this is happening. Let’s break down the reasons why your Domain Authority may not be increasing as expected:
- Time and Patience
DA updates take time: Domain Authority is calculated based on data from search engines and backlinks, which can take time to reflect in updated scores. Moz, the creator of DA, typically updates its index periodically, so any changes in your site’s SEO may take weeks or months to impact your score. - Quality vs. Quantity of Backlinks
Not all backlinks are equal: While building backlinks is crucial for increasing DA, it’s not just about the number of backlinks you have. The quality of these backlinks matters. If most of your backlinks come from low-authority or irrelevant sites, your Domain Authority won’t improve much.
Focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable, authoritative websites in your niche to see a meaningful impact on your DA. - Competitor Growth
Relative ranking matters: Domain Authority is a comparative metric, meaning your DA is partially influenced by how your competitors are performing. If other websites in your industry are also gaining high-quality backlinks or improving their SEO strategies, it may cause your DA to stagnate or increase more slowly.
Keep monitoring your competitors and ensure you’re keeping up with the latest SEO best practices.

These services specialize in outreach to relevant, high-quality blogs and niche sites, ensuring your content is placed on sites with genuine traffic and authority.
Since you already write your own content, they can handle the outreach while maintaining the quality and relevance you need for effective backlinking. Avoid PBNs and ensure the service focuses on authentic, well-established blogs.

If you're looking to gain genuine US traffic through reputable backlinks, I recommend exploring services that specialize in outreach and content placement for niche blogs, particularly in the gaming or simulation niche relevant to BitLife Zoo Expansion. Since you have expertise in your content, it's essential to partner with a service that respects that and focuses on real traffic, not P.B.N. or self-posting platforms. Look for outreach agencies that have a proven track record with US-based blogs and sites, ensuring your content is pitched to outlets that align with your target audience.
-
If you’re seeking backlinks or content placement opportunities from reputable sources, you might consider the following approach:
Review the Site’s Relevance: Ensure the site aligns with your niche and audience.
Contact the Site Directly: Reach out to the site owners or editors to inquire about content submission or collaboration opportunities.
Explore Content Partnerships: Look for guest post or content exchange opportunities that can drive relevant traffic and backlinks.
I have also applied these steps for our new site; you can see it here: https://drdrivingapk.net/.

I would recommend Medium and LinkedIn. I'm just now developing a community on Medium, and there really are live users there. If your content is really high quality and gives value to users, I recommend posting there. Please send me a link when you post, it will be interesting to read)
-
It would be best if you did it manually. don't rely on any automatic backlink providers. Search websites which have the same niche and email the website owners and pitch them. In this method, you will get real guest post sites.

Backlinks from The Sun, New Yor Post, etc...
Hello there, Some of my competitors have backlinks from very well-known newspaper websites like New York Post or The Sun. And it is really obvious that their backlinks are paid ones. On these news websites, they don't talk about ghost writing stuff or "partnership" for backlinks. They only write about banner advertising. So I was wondering how they can get a backlink from them.
Link Building | | Veptune
Do some writers sell those backlinks somewhere else, under the table? Are they in contact with SEO agencies who paid them and if this is the case, does their "manager" know it? or does the company directly have partnerships with SEO agencies? Basically, how to get a backlink from the NY Post or The Sun ? Thanks0 -
Best SEO Structure For E-Commerce With Products Using Multiple Categories
Hi all, I am in the process of re-structuring my e-commerce website for better SEO and user experience. I have done some keyword research and would like some advice on how best to structure my site around those keywords. For example, my site (All Things Nature) sells a brand of wooden sculptures (Woodsculp) and I would like to rank for keywords related to that brand, the brand by animal, the brand by collection and the brand by release date.
Content Development | | nb2e4fg
Examples of keywords could be: Brand by Animal: Woodsculp Dogs, Woodsculp Cats, Woodsculp Elephants
Brand by Collection: Woodsculp Pets, Woodsculp Safari
Brand by Release Date: Woodsculp Christmas 2023, Woodsculp Summer 2022 I would create each of these keywords as a category so that they can be found by a search engine and by users. I would then structure as follows: All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Animal -> Woodsculp Dogs
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Animal -> Woodsculp Elephants
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Collection -> Woodsculp Pets
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Collection -> Woodsculp Safari
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Release Date -> Woodsculp Christmas 2023
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp by Release Date -> Woodsculp Summer 2022 The only problem with this structure is it would take more than 3 clicks (4) for the user to reach a product. How critical is this for good SEO and user experience? Would I be better off getting rid of the ‘Woodsculp by Animal’, ‘Woodsculp by Collection’ and ‘Woodsculp by Release Date’ categories? Structure would look as follows: All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Dogs
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Elephants
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Safari
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Christmas 2023 The only thing with this is there would be a lot of categories under the brand name which might make it more difficult for search engines and users to logically follow. Would I be better off getting rid of the brand category and replace them with the keyword categories? Structure would look as follows: All Things Nature -> Woodsculp by Animal -> Woodsculp Dogs
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp by Animal -> Woodsculp Elephants
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp by Collection -> Woodsculp Safari
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp by Release Date -> Woodsculp Christmas 2023 This would organise things more logically but I would then lose the brand category (and the potential of the brand keyword ranking?) Would I be better off choosing one main keyword to use as a category and then use tags for the other categories? Categories: All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Dogs
All Things Nature -> Woodsculp -> Woodsculp Elephants Tags: Woodsculp Safari
Woodsculp Christmas 2023 The next issue I have is that I have products which could fall under several different categories. A product called Elijah Elephant, for example could fall under Woodsculp Elephants, Woodsculp Safari and Woodsculp Summer 2022. In previous e-commerce sites I have never assigned multiple categories to one product (I instead have used tags). Is it good practice to organise products under multiple categories for an e-commerce site? Thanks in advance for any help and advice.0 -
How to get rid of bad backlinks
So I noticed my rankings going down and spam score going up. So under my spam score there are over 100 links for different websites but ALL redirect to semalt.com I researched it and it says they hijacked a bunched of backlinks but don't know much more. How can I get rid of all those backlinks? I was told I could use the disavow tool but apparently that can hurt my ranking as well. The semalt.com site has no backlink to me - it looks like the pages that have/had my backlinks, they've redirected to them. For instance this is one of the links http://www.oxvideos.xyz/indianantyphotoxxx 422005fb-9240-40a4-8b65-f5b1f5079dea-image.png

Blog post outreach for backlinks
Hi all, My understanding of obtaining backlinks by way of blogpost outreach is that it's best to include several outbound links to related high domain websites within blog post copy (as well as a link to the website you're marketing, obviously) such as this post https://www.scoopearth.com/why-should-you-use-royalty-free-music-for-youtube-videos/ or this one https://small-bizsense.com/how-to-create-quality-content-for-your-business/. However, I've recently read a few articles that suggest that from a human perspective only having one clear link in the copy, such as this post https://www.clichemag.com/entertainment/movies/the-benefits-of-royalty-free-cinematic-music-for-your-videos/, increases the chance of the reader visiting the site in question. I guess the thinking is that if there's only one link to be clicked on it increases the chances of click-thru, as opposed to the reader possibly clicking on another external link that's only there because of current SEO advice. So is it best to follow SEO guidelines and include several outbound links within guest blog posts, or is it better to only have the one link to your client's site (to focus the readers attention on it)?

Site Published Our Guest Post but Removed the Link Back
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?

Where/should I post my press release/articles on my own website?
I have started a long-term article marketing campaign and press release distribution. I will have about 4 articles and press releases in total every month. Although the press releases will not be self-promotional, sometimes they will be talking about a certain product that we unveil. The question is, due to the high quality of these press releases, should I put them on my website as well as publish them on third party websites? If so, because they target a specific service/product which we already have a dedicated page on our website, wouldn't that put Google in the position of choosing between the two pages? I was thinking to put them on my blog and link internally from there with the keywords that I target on those pages as anchor text. The same question for articles. Any suggestions?
