I know guest posts are one of the best off-page SEO practices, but what are the chances to get Free Guest Post sites?
 
free guest posting sites are garbage, mate. They're utter and pure SPAM, and google will ignore those links at some point.

Imagine that you have 4 sites and that you allow everyone to create an account on your sites and publish their shitty content. Do you think any of you will get any benefit from this? Any non-authority site that allows "free guest posting" always attracts the shittiest of content first and foremost. The gambling / porn / adult / asian / piracy dudes will always be the first to sign up..... Ok, maybe not always, but often :)

Seriously, if you care about your sites don't make them public on some random site that has no authority and which has content on every niche under the Sun...

This being said, if you absolutely must, or want to tank your sites, here are some "free" guest posting sites:

Can guest posting do much for retail/ecom sites? That is my current project and trying to think of some other ways to help bolster up the site and its rankings.
 
Still works.
For me there is only one criteria for guest post , site must get real traffic to get guest post from.
 
Yes, It is still gold if you get it on a good website. Just don't buy a list or something. Manual outreach is best.
 
As you said, it is the best off page practise, so you should pay more attention to quality to win the SERP using Guestposts.
QUality guest posts ( no link farms) if done properly on right niche, it is still relevant and helpful
 
Guest posts should be handled with caution. It is determined by the post's quality and the general structure of the material.
The guest article must be free of plagiarism.
 
yes, You can increase your site ranking by publishing guest post but make sure the site where you are publishing guest post has relevant niche and have low spam score.

Backlink building is a pure money game now. Indeed guest posts is the best way to build backlinks but you have to pay good money if you want good quality. If you have money then go for it.

Free guest post sites will not help you at all. Why invest your time and efforts into something that is a proven useless method?

Instead, if you do not have a budget to build links then focus on creating good quality content. You may generate natural backlinks automatically over the period of time and these will be better than those free guest post sites.

Recently I got a Wikipedia backlink to one of my article and it was a pleasant surprise for me. Some kind soul had linked my informative article from a Wikipedia page. Just imagine the power of a good quality content!
 
If your website has strong authority and stability, these guest posts will not negatively impact your ranking. Instead, they will be additions to your link profile as an RD. However, it's important to note that they can still be considered as part of black hat practices, specifically for boosting rankings quickly. If your business is legitimate, I recommend proceeding with high-quality guest posts on blogs with significant traffic and low OBL.

You really make a lot of sense here mate. But is it the fact that it's a free guest post? What's even the probability that "paid" guest posts will benefit a site??
Just because you paid $ for it?
 
It won't help
You're better off focusing on HARO outreach or reaching out to smaller sites in the niche

if it's paid it usually means that the owner cares about his site, and sites that are cared for rank better, and sites that rank are considered quality by google, therefore they have SEO value, therefore they're worth getting links from.

And like I said previously, if everyone can publish on those sites for free you'll get very little value (for a while) and zero value (after google tanks the sites) as they'll be filled with all topics under the Sun.

You're bound to see posts about local construction companies, pet grooming, latest iphone, how to lose weight, RC helicopters, winning at casino slots, gucci fashion, best law firms in NY, how to apply makeup, the dangers of plastic and god-knows-what else.

Having posts from so many topics on your site....

- firstly, dilutes (or totally obliterates) the topical authority of the site, and sites without topical authority are worthless
- secondly, every post will link out to a different (not even quality usually) site like yours, most likely with exact match anchor text too, because people who find value in free guest posting sites don't have a clue about SEO so they'll ruin the (eventual and rare) authority / quality that the free guest posting site might have, for everyone...

Again, free guest posting sites (the unmoderated ones anyway) are pure garbage, or, if they're not garbage yet they'll become garbage within months

Wow. I can't imagine the value I've got from what you just wrote. This is awesome man, you killed it. Thanks so much .
 
Just get it on a good website, and everything will be fine.
 
Write an informational article and pitch the websites that offer free guest posts. You can easily get those lists here or on Google too.
 
Free guest post sites are almost impossible to find these days if you are talking about quality sites. Guest posts still work today because backlinking is a major part of the off page SEO.
