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

Looking to outsource some of our link building...
Hi Everyone, We are a small online marketing firm in the UK and we are starting to hit a bit of a bottleneck in terms of the resources that we have that can be devoted to link building. As a result, we need to outsource the link building for some of our clients (around 10). Obviously, we only want ethical, white hat link building to take place and it really is a focus on quality rather than quantity. As you can imagine, being a fairly small firm, we also have a very limited budget! We would ideally like to work with UK link builders but would definitely look at overseas partnerships if it worked out more cost effective and the standard of the link building meets our standards. Just so that I'm not wasting anyone's time, we have a budget of around £200-300 for this (I know, its a very limited budget!). I understand that with this budget comes limitations so we would be more than willing at looking at some stripped down packages (for example, we already have in-house bloggers, so we wouldn't need that). Let me know if you are interested or if you would be able to recommend anyone to me. It would be a great help. Matt

Link building for rankings VS Link building for relationships
A Big Shout To Everyone -- Good Morning and What's Up 🙂 As I read today through seomoz professional guide to link building and the section why link building matters and in addition to this a newsletter I received today that changed my whole thinking towards link building for rankings vs for relationships. It is already happening on social networks if you are active there, but what about on your website. What are your thoughts on the following ? Google's job is provide the most relevant results to surfers online, and looking the link profile of a site & the page itself is the key to determining which page to serve on plate to the surfers link query !

I think that we as webmasters have to ask ourselves what do we want to achieve with link building. To get quick traffic or build slow authority links, high rankings, lead generation, sales & other things here I may be missing etcccc Other Objective Networking & Relationship Building Alliances : What I discovered today is that building links for 1st page rankings are great and will provide me with steady traffic, but not all of it is targeted traffic, but what else can I do to bring targeted traffic and at the same time try to build alliances with other related non competing business owners online. The idea... is to apply old school networking / relationship building alliances to get targeted traffic to my site that can actually benefit from my services. How Do We Achieve This I become a editor for approving resource links for me site, only the best will be placed on my site as a resource. Build a valuable tightly themed categorized resource section with related non competing resources that can help my sites visitors find what they are looking for, send visitors to non competing resources that may purchase their services which helps me build a relationship with them, and may can with rankings as well, provided I am selective with my qualification process. Questions & Concerns Below : What should I be thinking about when creating a resource categorized links page How many outgoing do follow links should I allow from this links partner page How will this links resource page affect my own SE 1st Page Rankings and is it worth it based on getting targeted traffic Any pros / cons I may be missing here0 -

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.

Link Building Strategy - Please Give Feedback
Hi, I"m moving forward with link building for nlpca(dot)com and here's my plan I know my industry, keywords, and this site very well so I'll start by: Analyze Top content for top 10 competitors and see where the links are currently going. I'm assuming a competitor is someone similar to me and not sites like wikipedia in this case Make a spreadsheet for all of the worthwhile links that I find by using OSE and the top 10 competitors, places where if we're good enough we can get a link on that page. See what they're linking to Use (1) and (2) to discover what stelllar targeted content to build Use infographics, a blog, and articles to build targeted content to request a link from the people in (2) building out facebook, twitter, and Google +1 for the site is coming too. Your thoughts? I'm completely open to improvements via feedback.
