Hello friends
I have outreach a website for a guest post and it has given me permission for a guest post.
But I'm a little confused. Should I link the home page or the post from that guest post?

Please help me.
 
If it is allowed, and if the said page is strong enough (traffic, metrics wise), I usually link to my homepage using a naked URL or a random word, and to an inner page I want to rank.
 
This question is like: I brought a girl back to my place, now where do I stick my jimmy at?

I do 80% links to home page and 20% to inner pages. Build links to the harder KW inner pages, the rest can just hit the home page and you'll be fine.
 
Guest post authors can link back to their own content how they want...in every website at bottom the media section will be there .. where you can link back to these guest posts.

Hahaha Thank you.
 
Depends on the character of your guest post. Google is all about "natural links" so ask yourself what looks most natural and do it.

Example 1:
Ex-Ivy Leaguer and NFL-er Jeff Hatch spent years telling audiences of his triumph over opioid addiction (check this article), to great acclaim. Then as the rehab center he worked at drew national attention, a tortuous backstory of cops, dealers and deception came to light.
(check this article) would point to an inner page with an article where Josh tells audience bla bla...

Ex-Ivy Leaguer and NFL-er Jeff Hatch spent years telling audiences of his triumph over opioid addiction, to great acclaim. Then as the rehab center (Rehab center´s name) he worked at drew national attention, a tortuous backstory of cops, dealers and deception came to light.
(rehab centers name) would point to the home page of the rehab clicnic...

If possible, I would definitely go for a link to an inner page. Links to homepages are much easier to get and you probably get some naturally and for free later.
I would do it with some generic keyword, definitely not with a 6 word phrase like "best cordless screwdrivers for women 2021", that screams hey, google, I paid for this backlink...
If your plan is to build brand, then build links with brand-related keywords and to the homepage.
 
It really depends on your strategy & website,
if you want to pass some authority & link juice to the overall the website, a link to the homepage would be the right option,
While using a link to a specific page will do give a good boost to its targetted keywords
 
As a general rule, all pages on your site should have at least 1-3 links.

I would start with the homepage and then the money pages then the informational pages.

Mention your brand in your anchor text and combine with with partial matches.
 
General suggestion-80% links to home page and 20% to inner pages.

clearly every hole is a goal :anyway:
but yeah, I usually mostly go straight to my homepage, and only inner pages or my special custom category pages (landing pages) if the topic is on point.
 
Safest way for majority of links, in my opinion, is doing it like so.

Example: '(name) from (website name) let us know in an e-mail that (random fact about topic).'

Instead of randomly linking to exact match keywords in a post which makes no sense at all.

Bit confusing though

Do you think this affects owner's website as well? I mean the website which provides such links?
 
If your main page is the one that you want to rank for high competition keywords, then definitely you should get a backlink to the main page
