Do you ever skip sites that sell too many guest posts?

While doing outreach recently, I noticed something interesting.


Some websites look good on the surface, decent DR, traffic, and clean design. But once you check a few of their recent posts, it feels like almost every article is a paid guest post.


When I see that pattern, I sometimes hesitate to place a link there because it starts looking more like a link farm than a real blog.


At the same time, a lot of link opportunities in outreach seem to work this way now.


So I’m curious how others handle this.


Do you still place links on sites that clearly sell a lot of guest posts, or do you avoid them and try to find more “natural-looking” blogs?
 
Personally, I try to skip them because it feels kinda spammy and not really worth it, but it's wild how many options are like that now
 
I have noticed the same. If a site looks like it’s full of paid posts, I usually avoid it. Feels risky long term. I try to go for more natural-looking sites, even if they’re harder to get.
