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.

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.

https://www.realestatephotos.melbourne does not have any backlinks and has a DA of 1.
Keyword Explorer | | garrypat
This site ranks first for keywords - real estate photography melbourne and property photography melbourne.
Not sure why.
URL contains keywords and site is ok. But other sites with many links and higher DA rank lower. Why? Garry1 -
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 -
Unsolved Anyone else finding that the Link Intersection tool is not accurate?
I ran the Link Intersect tool on my site vs competitor's site. The first 3 domains it tells me the competitor has links from but I do not are: medium.com, behance.net, and moz.com. I thought this was odd because I know for a fact I built profiles with a link on all 3 sites. So, I went to all 3 and found my links on these sites. I also double-checked in the Google search console and they show up there. Am I understanding the tool wrong? Is it really showing me sites we both have vs what I don't have?

Can Foreign Language Backlinks Be Valuable?
I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? 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.

How do you compose and write a great guest post?
After developing a relationship with a blog owner and being told you may guest posts on their blog for your client: How do you compose and write a great guest post? How do you pick a good topic? How to you compose the post to serve the blog your are guest posting for and your client? Should you write the post like you are a member/writer for the blog you are posting for? How much should you keep your client in the loop of what you are posting on behalf of their company? Does anyone have any good examples or experiences when creating a great guest post?

What benefit does a site with a low DA get from someone guest posting who links to a site with a high DA?
I'm relatively new to link building and although this may be an obvious question I can't seem to find an answer anywhere even after searching Google.
