Hi BHW community,
Many people say guest posting is dying, others say it still works if done right.
As someone still learning, I’d like to know your honest opinion based on recent results.

Before choosing which guest post service to buy make sure you check how related it is to your niche and even if the website isn't, check if you can related it your website through the content. It will work best for you.

As far as I know, guest posting is no longer as effective because Google has changed its SEO algorithms. SEO does not work the way it used to. We should consider using new methods for link building.
 
Still works but not the way it did 3 years ago. Blasting 50 generic guest posts on random DA40 sites won't move the needle anymore.
 
Not much and the reason is - all these websites are linking to tremendous amount of external websites, meaning it passes almost no juice. What Google likes is - a website that links only to smaller amount of websites (backlinks are scarce).

I would suggest keeping a careful eye on recent outcomes and starting with little tests before moving on to larger ones. If you stay persistent and keep track of your progress, you'll be able to tell the difference between hype and techniques that really work.
 
Guest posting still moves the needle in niches where the content genuinely adds value and targets relevant audiences. It’s less about quantity now and more about contextual relevance and long-term relationships
 
Yes, it still works. Just focus on real sites and good content, not spam links.
 
Yes, it still works. But only if the site is real and relevant. Posting on random blogs just for a link doesn't help much now. If the website has real traffic and fits your niche, guest posts can still be useful. It's not dead, just need to be done properly.
 
Yes, it works if it is from a relevant blog and has decent organic traffic.

Guest posting is the best way to get link juice in my opinion, because 1) you can do it for free and 2) both you and the person/persons who own the site of the guest post benefit.
 
It can definitely work as long as it’s published on a relevant blog that actually gets real organic traffic. When the site has a genuine audience and fits your niche, the impact feels natural and meaningful, not forced.
 
still works but only if the site has real traffic and relevance, dont waste money on link farms or cheap pbn sites.
 
It’s not dead. It just doesn’t work the lazy way anymore.
If the site has real traffic and your link makes sense inside good content, it still moves rankings.

It still works. You need to pick quality sites for this purpose.

Guest posting is not always a good practice. Posting on relevant websites can be helpful, but not everyone is allowed to do it. I suggest that building a PBN would be a better option.
 
Hey Younaslinkbuilder,Guest posting remains effective only if you prioritize actual referral traffic over vanity metrics :cool:Building real entity authority through high-end digital PR consistently provides much better long-term stability :p
 
Yes, guest posting still works in 2026 if you pick relevant sites and write good content, low-quality spam posts don’t help.
