Vet all of your incoming guest post requests.
You want the content they're posting on your site to be:
- Niche relevant (even if they're guest posting on your site).
- Decent content, no grammatical errors, good flow & readability, etc.
- No spam links or websites with a high spam score.

Don't advertise publicly that you are open to guest posts.
Don't use menu items with names like Guest Posts, Write For Us or even Advertise.
Link to other website from the post.
Don't make links clickable on the homepage or category page.

Sometimes. Its up to content of course. It should be relative and not spam for sure.

The guest post requests that you're talking about are most likely automated emails and not people who are very interested in guest posting on your site.
Don't be surprised that some offer as low as just a few $ for an AI-written guest post with a totally unrelated link on your website.

There's no real evidence to suggest guest posts hurt websites however turning your site into a link farm would hurt your site. Google would derank you.
You have to be mindful the kind of site and content you link back to.

It's really easy to criticize a person without thinking. I've been working on my fucking SEO for 2 years now. As in every field, this field also requires money to move forward. Since I have a problem with my eyes, I try to save my surgery money by setting aside $100 from each article. I was able to earn only 400 dollars from my site in 2 years. Not even all of this money was left to me (Hosting, Domain name, tax, etc.). In short, I don't have much time. It's not naivety, my friend, it's desperation.

If the guest post site is related to your niche then NO.

Forget cookie-cutter mass emails (that look like just that) to outreach to the sites. Almost no one will reply, let alone publish the post. Instead of the buckshot approach, be a sharpshooter---study the site's social media and engagement elements. Woo the webmaster or editor with SM messages in conversation for a while, keep things very positive and relevant to the community niche.
Eventually ask, in a natural exchange about contributing to the site, perhaps by first referencing other published content you've written. Play the numbers---for 10-15 guest posts you want, you may need to cultivate relationships with 45-50 different webmasters in a SM campaign (4 supportive tweets to some today, 5 IMs to others tomorrow, etc) until you're ready to try to harvest from this farm. Hope this helps.

i agree that relevancy must be a choice and content plagiarism must be unique.
