Does More Guest Posts Effect Website Rankings in a Negative Way?

[sandeep.clickdesk]

Hello Everyone,

On an average I am getting around 20 backlinks for 15 days. All these backlinks are done through proper outreach and guest posts in relevant websites. We have a team of four people doing only outreach and getting backlinks through proper guest posts.

But I am worried on whether it will effect my website ranking in a negative way?

Kindly get me clarified with my doubt. Should I continue this or should I reduce my numbers?

Any guest posting that you're doing and  how it affects your site's search engine rankings will depend on your site's link profile. If you're only doing guest posting and that's how you're getting your links, then that may put up a red flag and it might affect rankings. However, if you have thousands of links from other sites then a few guest posts aren't going to hurt, they should help.

Keep in mind, though, that any guest posts should comply with Google's webmaster guidelines, the blogger should disclose that it's a guest post, and typically it should be a nofollow link to your website. If it doesn't comply, it doesn't matter how many posts you have, even a few could get your site penalized.

Hi Eric,

Thanks a lot for responding to my query.

Can you please suggest me some ways to get backlinks other than guest posting.

Also, as you mentioned how can my website get benefit if I have a no-follow link?

Hi Krishna,

We also get backlinks by making profiles on business overview sites (E.g. Yelp) and get certificates for safe shopping etc... There's a great article on no-follow links on https://moz.com/blog/the-hidden-power-of-nofollow-links

Good luck!
