Hi everyone,

I’ve been working more with guest blogging and I’m curious about how others see it today.

Do you still find guest blogging useful for SEO when the website is relevant to your niche and the content provides real value to readers?

Apart from backlinks, have you seen other benefits from guest blogging, such as referral traffic, brand awareness, or building relationships with other websites?

Would be interested to hear what has worked for you.

The biggest benefit isn’t always the backlink. A good guest post can put your brand in front of people who already care about your topic, and that can lead to traffic, mentions, connections, and sometimes customers.
 
Yes, guest blogging can still be effective when the site is genuinely relevant and the content is useful Besides SEO it can bring targeted referral traffic improve brand visibility and create valuable relationships within your niche
 
Try sites where people in your niche are actually reading. getting the right visitors can be more useful than just getting a backlinks.

yes i believe that guest blogging is still possible though the quality of the website is very important. it is much better to have a relevant website that will give you referral traffic nd publlicity along with the link than an irrelevant one, even if it is giving u more links.

Well, yes as far as I am concerned, that is the case even when there are some real people reading on the site. It's possible that the referral traffic nd relationship may become more imprtant than the backlink alone.

Guest blogging still works when it's done the right way. A relevant website, helpful content and a real audience matter more than just getting a backlink. I have seen it help with brand visibility, refferal traffic and building valuable industry connections. Quality always beats connections.

It is definitely very useful because you can aid another website owner to put more information about a subject/niche that he/she wouldn't be able to, normally. Also by giving this information to him/her you also get backlinks which help you rank as well.
 
In my opinion, guest posting remains beneficial for SEO; however, a truly useful article on a website that attracts the right audience is generally of higher quality than simply publishing a large volume of posts.
 
Yes, I tink it is still effective. a few useful posts on the right websites can do more than publishing a lot of random guest articles.
 
Yes, if the site is relevant and has real readers, guest posts can still bring good traffic and a useful backlink.
 
Yes, guest blogging still works when done on relevant, trustworthy websites. Quality content, referral traffic, relationships, and brand visibility can provide lasting benefits.

I think guest blogging still works when the post fits the site and offers something useful to its readers. The backlink is a niche bonus, but referral traffic and building a good relationship with the site owner can be just as valuable.
 
dafinately guest blogging is still usefull if you do with good strategy, because jsut getting spammy backlinks are not enough you have to invest on getting good backlinks. and it boost your website authortiy and traffic as well. but backlinks must be high authority and with relevent
 
of course guest posting is still important, but of course the site where you guest blogging must be trustworthy and relevant for your topic...
 
Guest blogging is still effective in my experience, but the site and audience matter more than simply getting a backlink. A well-placed guest post can bring referral traffic, improve brand visibility and sometimes lead to more opportunities. I would rather get one genuinely relevant placement than several random links.
 
I’d say it’s still useful, especially when you’re publishing on relevant sites. I’ve seen it bring referral traffic and help with visibility too, which can be more valuable long-term than the backlink alone
 
Yes, it still works when the site is relevant and has real traffic. The referral traffic and brand exposure can be just as useful as the backlink.
