What do you guys think? Which one is more worthwhile: a guest post or a link insertion?
Personally, I prefer guest posts. Here's why:
When it comes to link insertions:
Imagine you find a relevant page that already gets traffic and has no outgoing links (or only a few). Naturally, you want to acquire a backlink from that page.
You reach out to the website owner and buy the link. However, here is my perspective: if you are doing this consistently, Google might detect a pattern that suggests you are buying backlinks.
Think about it: a page was published earlier, gradually gained authority, and started receiving traffic. Now, you are inserting a backlink into that existing page. From Google's perspective, this could look suspicious because the link wasn't originally there, and it was added later, potentially to pass link equity.
Congratulations! Google might have caught on to what you're doing.
On the other hand, with guest posts:
You're publishing a fresh article that naturally includes an outgoing link. Since the content is new, it may be harder for Google to determine whether the link was added organically or as part of a paid placement.
Thats my POV would love to hear yours!
