Check the audience country
Make sure the website attracts readers from the country you want to reach. Country fit matters more than a large worldwide traffic number.
Free guest post checklist
Check a guest post website before you order.
Use these eight simple checks to choose better placements in any country or niche. The same process works for one order or a large worldwide campaign.
8 checks before approval
Quality is more than DA or DR.
Review the audience, traffic, content and publishing terms together. One strong metric cannot make a poor website relevant.
Review real organic traffic
Look for steady, relevant search traffic and recent ranking pages. Do not choose a website only because its DA or DR looks high.
Confirm niche relevance
The website, article topic and your target page should make sense together. A relevant link is easier for readers and search engines to understand.
Check recent indexation
Search for several recent articles in Google. If new posts are regularly missing from the index, ask the publisher before ordering.
Inspect editorial quality
Read recent posts. Avoid websites filled with thin articles, copied content, poor formatting or unrelated commercial links.
Confirm every link term
Get the link type, sponsored attribute, turnaround time, word count, permanence and replacement terms in writing before approval.
Use a natural anchor
Choose an anchor that fits the sentence and helps the reader. Do not force the same commercial keyword into every placement.
Verify and monitor the live page
Check the final URL, article, link destination and link attributes. Keep the live URL and monitor it for removal or changes.
Keep a clear record
Save the details you approved.
Record the domain, target page, anchor, agreed terms and live URL. This makes reporting easier and helps you check the placement later.
