Do free guestpost sites offer much value?

Hi,

Just curious to know if you've had much experience with this.

I noticed on various blogs and groups talk about sites that allow for free guest posts.

The sites don't look great, but they tend to have +30 DA.

Do you think that posting there occasionally will:
a. Count as backlinks
b. Drive up a site's DA?

Much obliged for any feedback!

Depends on the amount of outbound links and amount of referring domains. As well as quality of referring domains. Many sites do this for free content

Ah, I see. Makes sense that they'd get views through free content.

But what would look for before posting to a site like this? And how often would you post?

yes, but usually a bad one, or one that will be bad soon (because everyone and their dog will happily get free "quality" guest posts to the point where the entire guest posting site will be filled with all sorts of irrelevant / shady / idiotic articles on CBD, gambling, viagra, dog grooming, wedding dresses, local plumbing, how to put makeup on, gay services, etc... Will you want a backlink from such a website?)

the last time google cared about DA when ranking sites was - according to my knowledge - NEVER! Just screw the DA, DR, and all other 3rd party metrics that companies like Ahrefs, MOZ etc have invented. Google only care about their internal metrics, and their internal metrics are usually unknown. DA and DR are just guidelines, but even then, they are the last resort type of guidelines...

What matters when assessing the quality of a website is how google sees that website. Is the site ranking and getting google traffic? Does it have 1000s or millions of indexed pages and keywords that it ranks for? Do 100s or 1000s of those 1000s / millions indexed pages get even 1 visitor per week CONSTANTLY? Then google likes that website and any link coming from any of those indexed and traffic'd pages is worth gold, and these are all of the metrics you need to concern yourself with.

The only thing you should pay attention to when checking the sites' stand with google is looking at the trends for the last 6-12 months. Did the number of indexed pages, the amount of traffic, and the amount of ranked keywords increase (or at least stayed constant) over the last 6-12 months? Then it's a good site. Did these numbers drop constantly and seem to tank into oblivion soon? That's a clear sign that google have flagged / marked that website for whatever reason that their retarded brain has invented and they'll soon get rid of it . In this case you might not want a backlink from that site.

But otherwise, if the stats are growing (or at least constant) it's a good site...

Yes, posting occasionally on sites with +30 DA can count as backlinks to your site. While contributing to such sites might slightly influence your site's DA, it's important to focus on high-quality, relevant backlinks for more significant and lasting improvements.

Hi, thanks! How often would you pay/add one so that it doesn't look spammy to Google?

It could have low quality if you go for the free options.

Yes, posting on sites with a Domain Authority (DA) of over 30 can potentially count as backlinks and contribute to your website's SEO efforts. However, the impact on driving up your site's DA may be limited unless those guest posts are on high-quality, relevant websites with authoritative content and strong backlink profiles.

Most of these free guest post sites have 0 organic traffic and your link will be added to hundreds/thousands of others resulting in zero relevancy.

Best way is to go for paid guest posts on established sites with organic traffic relevant to your niche.

Thanks! What ballpark pricing-wise would you say is good for guestposts? I saw some as little as $10-20 with decent DR.

no bro don't waste your time instead go for paid one.

No, it doesn't have much effect
wasting of time mostly
use another way or use paid services

It is better that you go with a paid alternative.

It may be helpful sometimes, but I would suggest going with a paid service rather than free.

Probably you may go with if you just need a backlink, but focusing on the Quality is always best. So that, I can suggest you should always focus on getting Quality backlinks form your relevant niche sites will be far better.

These sites can destroy your website SEO. So avoid these type of sites and publish guest post on high rating sites.

Don't go for that, because many users posted bad quality content and quality of sites will destroy any time, Go for the paid option

free guestpost provide low quality backlinks.
