How much do you charge when you get a request for buying links or sponsored content for your blog?
Hi - I wouldn't recommend that you do this.
I suspect you have been approached by an agency who will have been hired by a client to obtain backlinks.
They will have sent hundreds, if not thousands of emails to websites hoping somebody responds.
You are unlikely to receive a high quality post.
And Google frowns on paid guest posts, it can harm your site.
Diane that is not precisely correct. I read that it states Google "is not against paid-for content." They are against the "manipulating of the ranking using sponsored content." In other words, gaming the system is what Google penalizes those sites for doing that kind of behavior. Google requires that you disclose that it's a paid post and that all links must be a nofollow and no thin content. Google explains if you have high authority with high-quality content and traffic and a good brand with a good ranking, it is okay for brands to charge for sponsored posts or guest posts. As long as they follow the rules. Google hates the unnatural links or outbound links that game the system for their PageRank. That's clear. They don't encourage using it all the time to get the rank juice. They will get penalized for that.
Well, perhaps I could have been more clear in my answer!
Joseph specifically mentioned it was a request for the purpose of buying links.
So, they were expecting to receive a "follow" link.
I suspect if he responded by saying he would be happy to accept a guest post but marked as "no follow" he wouldn't hear from them again!
As your affiliate disclosure states,
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a company sponsors a post and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly at the beginning of the post.
So if you want sponsored content and someone paid for it, you must disclose it in the post. I have yet to get to that point for paid sponsorship content but for a guest post, you can charge whatever is suitable.
From what I see from other websites, they charge $250 up to $1,200 USD per sponsored or guest article posts, depending on the brand and the content.
It depends on your Domain Rating and the Traffic you get (also where your traffic comes from).
I did it a few times, but honestly, you'll barely get high-quality content.. I did it 2-3 times only, and I was never completely happy with the articles (only 1 article was really in-depth and great)...
Usually, you'll get better articles when allowing them to write for free.
But for instance, for a DR ca. 20-30 and traffic around 10k, you could get 50-$100 per guest post.
I am not sure that you want to do this, Joseph! I think that Google might frown on it according to some things I have read. That being said, I will be looking at the answers you get, since I might be mistaken!
