It seems so. After two ambiguous proposals I decided to tackle guest blogging again, because there are still those who haven't understood it, those who think it is a technique to get low-cost traffic, those who consider blogs a potential repository of links. Rejected guest posts on Blue Pen There are at least 4 or 5 items that I rejected. Unfortunately, recently, I was even forced to cancel one that I had accepted, because the person who proposed it was a so-called fake , a girl who signed herself with a false name and had a false profile on Google Plus. From that day on I changed the rules to be able to write a guest post on my blog. A few days ago I received another suspicious, or rather obscene, proposal.
A company that sells content told me Phone Number Data about an article written by one of their authors, which only contained a reference to their site in 485 words. It was going to be signed under a pseudonym and they wanted to send it to me. That email made me nervous, because it was clear that they hadn't read my guidelines, clearly visible in the menu, the same menu where they clicked on the "Write to me" item. I replied that, even without reading that article, it already went against 5 of the rules I had imposed and I linked my guidelines to him : articles of at least 500 words no link in the text items signed with name and surname I only accept bloggers I know I only accept bloggers who have already commented on Blue Pen The company's response? No problem for the number of words and the citation, but unfortunately we could not reach an agreement for the pseudonym and for another rule: that of responding to any comments.
Now I wonder: does this company know what a guest post is? There is no point in writing a guest post under a fake name, because guest blogging was invented to spread a name. It makes no sense not to respond to comments, first because it is rude and second because it is an integral part of guest blogging and blogging in general. When guest blogging is rotten When it is done for SEO purposes. Avoid publishing guest posts proposed by companies like the one I mentioned. Reject out of hand guest posts proposed by the usual anonymous person who says "I've been following your interesting blog for some time" and has never bothered to leave a comment. You have a duty towards yourself and your readers: to publish quality articles that can be traced back to a person, to a name and surname, to a face worth seeing. The rest is rubbish, leave it in landfills.
