Forbes is still one of the top tier editorial that hasn't lost its value. If you run a real business and want visibility, authority and brand trust, getting featured on Forbes will be highly beneficial.
Article on Forbes will come up in the first page of Google for your brand name search and also counts as a notable link for Wikipedia. You can also spread the coverage on your social media for brand awareness.
If you're starting out and yet to establish the business, I would suggest news sites that are relevant to your industry and go for Forbes at a later stage.

If the placement is on a genuine Forbes property and the page is indexed, it can still be valuable in 2026 for brand exposure, authority, and referral traffic.
Just make sure the seller is legit and the placement is relevant to your niche.

I believe that it is worth considering, but only if it is a forbes article that is both indexed and relevant. I would look into the url nd traffic statistics first.

It all depends on what you are buying. You can't assume that just because something is from Forbes, it is worth anything. Look at the site's indexation, relevancy, traffic, and whether the link is ********.
In my view, just becuz the website comes from forbe does not necessarily mean that it is suitable for you. Plz do not neglect to analyze traffic, indexing, niche nd linking opportunities before making a comparison of prices with other offers.

i think it depends on the price and the actual quality of the placement.i'd look at relevance and real traffic before deciding if it’s worth it....

I think it depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
For me relevance authority and the actual value of the placement matter more than just the name.

I’ll be careful with it. In 2026, I wouldn’t buy a Forbes guest post purely for the backlink. The real value is the brand exposure, credibility, referral traffic, and potential for people to discover your business through the article.

A forbes guest post can still be valuable in 2026, but dont buy it just for the logo, check if it has real editorial value, relevant audience, and genuine exposure.
