Mama’s inventory has grown to more than 700 high traffic partners and it keeps growing as our outreach service finds more bloggers in your industry. We seek out blogs that are more than just links, but advertising opportunities for companies that are looking to grow.
We’ll work together to pick the best content on your website for your guest post link. If you don’t have anything suitable, we’ll help create one. Linking to a commercial page is usually fine as well.
We’ll go through our inventory and reach out to industry blogs to find, pitch, and secure guest posts on blogs with a readership that is relevant to your industry. You get to approve the list!
Once we’ve agreed upon what blogs to target, we’ll put together content ideas that fall in-line with their guidelines and pitch it to their blog editors, keeping you up to date throughout.
You might be considering a guest post for the SEO benefits, and that’s a valid reason. But, some guest posts, especially those on top tier editorial sites drive a lot of targeted traffic on their own and help to get your brand in front of a relevant audience. A guest post helps to build brand awareness & credibility and drive targeted traffic while increasing your ranking in search engines.
To make it into Mama’s secret inventory of sites that accept a guest post, bloggers need more than just a high domain authority. They also need high organic traffic, as independently verified by their Ahrefs traffic score and an acceptable trust flow to citation flow ratio. Metrics are just one part of it. The site needs to feel real and have a good professional design. In short, you should want and be proud of this type of media placement.
Our dashboard makes it really easy to see link building prices, request additional information, and get samples. Any dashboard updates will automatically go into your email inbox and you can respond via that email instead of logging in.
You are welcome to set the target page and anchor text for your guest post. We understand you may have an SEO strategy already in mind and just need us to handle the quality links portion of the process.
The backlinks strategy is just as important as the backlink itself. If you aren’t sure about it or prefer to be hands-off with this part of the SEO strategy, that’s fine. Using Linkio, we’ll do an anchor text analysis to determine the most impactful anchor text to use for your next link. We’ll also compare the domain authority of your site and top-ranking competitor sites to see how many links you need to grow your organic traffic.
Good guest posts start with a quality piece of content. Our freelance writers are native English speakers, experienced with SEO guest posting, and write for people, not just robots. Each piece of content is plagiarism checked and manually edited to ensure Google readiness. Article length starts at 500 words but these days, 500 words are not enough to work in all industries so you can choose how many words you want each guest article to be.
Once the content is ready, we can optionally submit it to you for content and SEO review. We welcome any feedback and are happy to make edits until you’re satisfied with the work.
Whether you’ve ordered 1 post or 50, we will provide you with a bi-weekly manual update (on Tuesday) with the progress of your order, so you’re never left in the dark. You can also request an update anytime in our dashboard and the team usually responds within 24 hours.
We don’t work with bloggers who take their links down or turn them to no-follow after some arbitrary time period. We guarantee our work for up to a year. If you lose the link within that time, we’ll get it back up or replace it for free.
Guest blogging is consistently cited as one of the best ways to build high quality backlinks (SEO) and generate more traffic to your blog. In this ultimate guide to guest blogging, we’ll walk through exactly how to guest blog post (strategically) and dramatically grow your blog as a result.
With a high degree of certainty, guest blogging will be be one of the absolute best strategies to employ if you’d like an uptick in targeted traffic to your blog, higher search engine rankings and a stronger reputation in your niche… all for free.
It might sound like a pipe dream (especially if you’ve only recently started your blog), but it’s not. You can accomplish all of these feats surprisingly quickly, and without paying a dime—through guest blogging. Let’s talk about how to guest post.
Guest blogging, also called guest posting, is when you write an article for someone else’s blog with the purpose of growing your brand, gaining exposure to your target audience, generating traffic and building natural backlinks for your own blog.
Although there are some exceptions, a guest post will normally be a unique piece of content you’ll have to write (or use a free AI article writer to help craft your first draft)—one you haven’t already published on your blog or anywhere else—and you’ll almost always be writing for a blog with a larger audience than your own (which is one of the major benefits of guest blogging).
You don’t have to pay to be a guest blogger, either. If you’re asked to pay, then that’s a sponsored post, not a guest post. In fact, some blogs will even pay you for guest blogging on their site.
What Are Guest PostsDisclosure: Please note that some of the links below are affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I’ll earn a commission. When you purchase a product or service using my one of my affiliate links, the company compensates me, which helps me run this blog and keep my content free of charge to you. Know that I also only recommend products I personally stand behind.
Thus, guest blogging is a win for the host blog that’s publishing your guest post, because they get a free piece of content that they don’t have to either write themselves or pay a writer to compile.
You get your name, your words and links to your own blog surfaced prominently to potentially thousands or more readers. We’ll talk more about including links in your guest blog posts later on in this guide, because those are extremely valuable in terms of building your blog’s SEO authority.
Check out this massive spike in traffic I saw to my blog (1,874 readers in one day—far above my average at the time) after my very first guest post was published several years ago:
The readers of the blog you just guest posted for also win, because they get to read a great piece of content that likely presents a new perspective than they’re used to.
You need to be able to write well. Be honest with yourself here: if you’re not very fluent in English, or if you struggle a lot with spelling and grammar, you may not yet be at the level where you’re ready to dive into guest blogging. If you do want to go ahead, then it’s worth finding a friend who can help out with a bit of editing, or you might even consider paying a professional editor to help polish your work before pitching a guest post.
You need to choose your host blog wisely. This means picking a realistic blog or publication that already takes guest posts. And I know this might sound obvious, but aiming for the very biggest blog or publication in your niche with your very first try, will only let you down and set the wrong expectations when you’re first getting into guest blogging. With this incremental approach, you can also gain valuable experience before you pitch the blog of your dreams.
I’m a living testament to the truth of this approach in steadily growing my own blog over the years—and I’ve structured my entire blog business plan around this core blog strategy.

When I first started guest blogging few years ago and began to have my work published on other (much higher authority) blogs, I didn’t yet have a personal brand or reputation at all.
What I did have, however, was the ability to write a blog post that could tell a compelling story, draw readers in and also serve to help my host’s blogging goals. Having the growing skill of writing that you’re constantly working to improve—and the willingness to be persistent with your outreach efforts—will go a long way in helping your guest blogging campaigns succeed.
On top of that foundational writing ability, I started with pitching startups I’d either already worked with in some capacity through my day job (as a content marketer at CreativeLive) or companies that would at least be familiar with the brand of my employer.
Instead, think about the blogs that you already read that cover the same topic, or a similar one, to what your own blog talks about. These are great types of blogs to pitch because you’re already very familiar with their style and the types of content that they publish.
You already have some sort of connection with. Perhaps you’ve commented on the blog before, chatted with the blogger on Twitter or even have a similar blog name to. Starting with some sort of simple connection can make it easier to get your guest post pitch looked at.
Is larger than your own, but not ridiculously huge. Aim for a blog that’s roughly five to ten times the size of your own. If you have 100 email subscribers, aim for a blog with ~1,000. If you’re aiming for blogs (like Forbes) that are more like a thousand or more times the size of your own, that’s a bit too ambitious when you’re brand new to guest blogging.
Is on-topic for you. While you might gain some benefits from writing for a blog about cats when your blog is all about gadgets, there’s not going to be a lot of audience crossover, so you shouldn’t expect to see much of a gain from that time investment.
