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.

Will it help my SEO if I: find local businesses with a good DA & low spam score select businesses that are somehow related to mine (Insurance Agency) offer to guest post and include a backlink on their blog ( ask them if they'd like to reciprocate) For example, businesses such as

English pages given preference over local language
We recently launched a new design of our website and for SEO purposes we decided to have our website both in English and in Dutch. However, when I look at the rankings in MOZ for many of our keywords, it seems the English pages are being preferred over the Dutch ones. That never used to be the case when we had our website in the old design. It mainly is for pages that have an English keyword attached to them, but even then the Dutch page would just rank. I'm trying to figure out why English pages are being preferred now and whether that could actually damage our rankings, as search engines would prefer copy in the local language. An example is this page: https://www.bluebillywig.com/nl/html5-video-player/ for the keywords "HTML5 player" and "HTML5 video player".

Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?
Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!

Sponsored posts against Google guidelines?
I'm a bit confused. Every blog I try to outreach on always give me a quote for a sponsored post. Isn't this against Google guidelines because you paying for a link technically even though your paying for a post? Do you guys buy sponsored posts? Should this be avoided? How do you outreach to a blog that offers sponsored posts? They can smell that you want a link from a mile away and give you a nice fat quote.

Guest Posting
Is guest posting to get links a good idea? I have the blogs to post but do not have the time to find, approach and build a relationship with bloggers to get the guest posts. Are guest posting services a good idea and if so can anyone recommend one? Thanks

Pros and Cons for Paying for Guest Posts?
While searching for outreach targets I came across a site that charges $100 to post your infographic with a review. I think this is similar to someone that says "Sure, I'll publish your guest post. First, please send me $100." I'm curious what others think about the practice of paying for guest posts? (It seems like it could easily be lumped in with paid links from Google's point of view).
