Does guest blogging still work for SEO?

[aniyaohaha]

Title says so. A lot of marketers guest blog to, well, link their site to some else's blog. However, some marketers employ spammy tactics, or use too many keywords in their anchor text, or even use only keywords for anchors.
What do you think?

It is still a popular and effective link building strategy. According to Aira's State of Link Building report, guest blogging is the third most popular link building strategy, with 47% of surveyed SEOs using it as their go-to. However, it's important to note that Google has been cracking down on spammy guest blogging practices, such as using too many keywords in anchor text or using irrelevant content.

Yes, it does if you are doing it carefully and with proper research. Otherwise, there are lots of websites/blogs made to sell links (spam links) so avoid such sites and go with the geninue one.

Yes, I do agree @leadstackmedia Guest blogging is a cost efficient technique to improve your site metrics but it has to be done with proper research.

Guest posts work. You just have to be sure of the sites the links are coming from.

Yes, it still works. Guest posting sites should not be 100% guest posts... There should be some % of guest post on that website.

Guest blogging is one of these SEO tactics that have been working for, like..., forever!

Of course like anything else you can do it white, grey or black, spammy spun or not. But yep, it works.

Yes it still works I think the biggest thing for me is ensuring you have a balanced backlink profile though. As you stated if all your backlinks are built using the same type of anchor text then you will run into trouble fast. If you have a lot of links from the same IP or sites linked by other means then you will run into trouble very fast. Building lots of do-follow links yet your no-follow links are not growing then you are going to run into trouble.

Effective guest blogging adds value through relevant content but spammy tactics can harm the user experience.
