It depends on the niche and quality of the sites, but from 100 targeted emails, around 10–20 replies is a decent response rate. Usually, 3–8 of those may turn into actual guest post opportunities if the outreach is well targeted.

If you're doing cold outreach to general webmasters, 5-10 replies out of 100 is realistic. However, keep in mind that a good portion of those replies will be site owners asking for sponsored post fees. Actual free editorial placements usually stay around 2-3%.
it all boils down to how good the websites are nd how much the emails are tailored to u. out of 100 emails that i have sent out i can predict that i m going to get some replies but not many at all. but then again, the key is getting publisshing spots.

In my case around 2%.

well i would say that it depends on the niche u are operating in nd how well ur reach out efforts r targeted. out of 100 emails i think getting 10-20 responses would be realistic but out of those not many will become ur guests for posting. the effectiveness of personalized messages is much higgher.

I’d say 10–15 replies from 100 emails is reasonable when targeting relevant publishers. Usually, only a few responses become genuine guest posting opportunities.

Sending 100 guest post outreach emails with basic templates typically yields around 5 to 10 replies. A highly personalized pitch aimed at well chosen sites can raise that response rate to 15 or 20.

From 100 targeted emails, I usually get around 10–20 replies. Out of those, maybe 3–5 turn into real opportunities, depending on niche, personalization, and publisher quality.
It really does come down to the quality of the list, in my opinion. mass e-mails at random tend to get thrown out, but site in the same niche will certainly create a response.
