Guest Post questions

Hello guys!
So im a newbie here looking for some answers about guest posting. I recently just started buying for my website which is on gaming niche.
1. Are niche related guest posts much more worthy?
2. Should I point do follow link on many articles/pages on my website or the most of the links to homepage?
3. Many cheap 10$ guest posts or one big 100$ guest post?
4.How many should I buy let’s say per month if my website is 1 month old?
5.Is important that the anchor text don’t be the same on many gp?

Thank you guys. I really try to rank this website as I worked hard on articles, speed, on-seo.

1. yes
2. most of the links should point to the homepage in order to build up the authority of your domain, and when you see certain pages stabilizing in the SERPs (say, on page 2 or 3 of google) you will want to boost the rankings of those pages, and to do that you will point high quality backlinks to them until they get at least to page 1. Once they're on page 1 you will have to analyze your page and competition again and see how you can push the rankings to top 3 spots, where most of the traffic is. This means you might have to do better on-page SEO, or get even more backlinks to those inner pages, or both. But you will figure this out when the right time comes
3. depends on the competition of your keywords. If you've done your keyword research properly you won't need a single backlink to rank. You just need to post content regularly (once a day if possible, if not then once a week at least, the more often the better obviously).

But anyway, if those $10 guest posts come from relevant sites in your niche and - more importantly - if they get traffic from google, they are worth the money. Probably even more than $10. Guest posts that cost $100 might obviously be better (they can still be scam, though, so you have to do your research), but many times a single guest post won't be enough to move your website not even one spot in the rankings. That's why targeting easy to rank keywords is so important. Well, until you build up your website's authority anyway, after that you can chase after keywords with higher competition

4. I wouldn't buy more than 4-5 backlinks at first. Do this for a few months (say 2-3 months), then increase the number of backlinks by 50-60% for 2-3 more months, then increase again for 2-3 more months and so on until you start ranking.

But the crucial thing here is that you keep building backlinks WHILE posting content. If you post content without getting backlinks is OK, but if you get backlinks without posting fresh content regularly it's NOT ok

And when you start ranking but - more importantly - stabilize in the SERPs you can reassess your backlinking strategy

5. VERY IMPORTANT! Spammed anchor texts are one of the most important reasons new sites never rank in google. That's why you need to vary the anchor texts like a madman. If your domain name is brandable (short + catchy + relevant, or any 2 combinations of these 3) many of your anchor texts will be the brand, while the other anchor texts will be your website's URL, generic terms (click here, visit us, our website, this page, visit our blog, this website, check us out today, read more about it here, etc.), or partially matched keywords. I wouldn't use more than 10% of the exact keywords as anchor texts, around 5% actually

NOTE: while do follow links are the best, getting some no follow links is highly recommended because it makes your backlinking profile look natural to the retarded googlebot. So, do not only get do follow backlinks, but no follow, too. And make sure you also get image backlinks, too, not just plain text backlinks. It helps even more

More or less I confirm most of the comments that tazarbm said:

1. Yes
2. It depends on your niche, but generally something above 50/50 always favouring the homepage
3. It depends, each page shall be analysed independently. Some pages are overpriced at $100 and others are underpriced at $10. There is no general rule of thumb
4. It's more about quality than quantity when you are beginning. I'm not a big fan of guest posts when your site is just 1 month old, though. There are better alternatives
5. Yes, it's critical. Don't stuff too much of the same anchor.

Thank you so much guys for this gold information. Im actually in a niche where I can’t post more than 1 post per week because there aren’t so many to say about. It’s just about one android game but I’ll consider adding a few similar games posts in the future so I won’t leave the website as it is today.

PBN or microsites

Actually there is no definite answers for all niche, it varies from one niche to another.

Go for quality but at start focus on quantity. Once you have 20-30 average quality links then buy few quality links

1.yes
2. I think yes. you can dilute your link profile with nofollow links from forums, profiles or directories.
3.depends on your goals and the quality of sites that are ready to post an article for $ 10
4. I wouldn't start with guest posts. in the first month I would post links from profiles and forums. next month I would buy 3 guest posts. And every month I would increase the number.
5. yes, it is important.

1. Yes
2. Depends - I always go mostly homepage for a while when it's a new site, build the "brand" & then target some inner pages that perform well
3. $10 is really low - it's hard to answer this because all blog owners charge different and there pretty much all negotiable - if someone says $100, say you only have $50 and work from there.
4. Drip feed a few a month, again there's no set answer for this
5. For a while do brand related anchor text - if you're blog is called "blackhatworld.com" do variations of that, Blackhatworld, Black Hat World, naked URL etc - it's the safest way of linking & when you've got a good basis of that you can start doing more aggressive anchors that match your keywords to a lower percentage

1. Niche related back links are always more worthy than anything else.
2. Best practice is point them to the homepage.
3. Price is a factor but you should do your own research to find out the quality of the website.
4. There is no limit to this but keep in mind you need to keep everything look natural.
5. Use branded anchors, naked urls and balance there ratio.

I do not know guest posts from good sites for $10, but if there are such in your niche, it's fine
