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

Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently
Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior. My website is www.hindimeaning.com which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

Google Authorship and Guest Posts
I'm including my google author details at the bottom of guest posts with a link to my site. Is this not giving google a clear signal the that it is a guest post by me and although the site owner has found it worthy enough to include the post on their site it's not really an 'editorially given link' in the true sense of the term?

What are your favorite link building tools?
I know there are a bunch out there, but I'd love to hear your guys thoughts. The more tools you post, and the more unknown they are (i.e. everyone knows OSE, Raven Tools, Buzzstream, Ontolo, etc.), the more I'd love the answer. Also, it doesn't have to be a comprehensive tool. Even if it's a bookmarklet, or something that solves one specific tedious task, I'd love to hear about it! 🙂

Feedback on linking strategy
The amount of requests I get for links is mind numbing. Yet few respond to my request for blog submissions. What is going on?? People want links yet they dont want to write - its not that hard! Rather than ignore all these requests for links i have decided to write the articles for anyone who now requests a link on my website (providing I like the site and its related to my niche area). I charge £9.99 to cover my admin (It will need to go up). I do not want any links back I just want inspiration to write and unique content for my website. So these are my questions to link builders - what do you think? Would you be interested now all the hard work has gone? SEO experts - is this risking my overall site strength?

Reciprocal Linking Strategy
Hello All, I wanted to ask something regarding a link-building tactic that I was thinking about trying. Many sites have what seem to be automated systems for adding a URL to a page in a site, but first require a reciprocal link to be posted from a page on your own. I was thinking about starting up a separate small blog/information site that related to subjects in my industry, and posting links to related resources on other sites as well. Could I use this as a vehicle for acquiring links that point to my main domain, while reciprocating links from the separate domain where the blog/informational site was located? Has anyone tried this before? Do these automated systems only accept a reciprocal link request if a link is verified from the same domain that you request your link to be pointed at? I realize that some webmasters who verify links manually may have an issue with this, however I feel I can overcome that concern more often than not by delivering quality, relevant content on the informational site (as well as promoting that site separately). I think any savy webmaster would prefer it this way as well. I'm certain this has been tried before, but would like to find out what kind of results I might expect. Any experience or advice that may be given here will be much appreciated. Mike
