Write for Us Link Building: Link Building Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most link building pitches recycle the same list of tactics. What this blog wants is the working view: how an outreach team raised its reply rate, which content earned links on its own, how a small site built authority without shortcuts, and what a reader should do first to earn links that last.

My readers are business owners, marketers and SEO teams who want their sites found. They already read my guides to checking your website's backlinks for free, what backlinks look like, with real examples and finding competitor backlinks with Google search. A link building post has to help them earn better links with less wasted effort.

60-second link building guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you run the link building campaigns you are writing about
• Can you share real results, including the outreach that failed
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a small business owner or SEO know what to do first after reading it
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one tool, service or agency

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Outreach that earns replies, with real reply rates
• Digital PR and data stories that earned coverage
• Content that attracts links on its own
• Guest posting done well, from people who do it every week
• Broken link, resource page and unlinked mention campaigns
• Measuring link quality and spotting risky links
• Using AI in prospecting and outreach without spamming
• Running a link building agency or in house team

If your post could be published on any link building site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Spam tactics and private blog network advice
• Automated outreach templates sent at scale
• Promotion of one tool, service or agency
• Thin posts under 800 words with no campaign results
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong link building pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about fifty link building strategies that work." A strong one says "I run outreach for an SEO agency and I want to show how we raised our reply rate across three client campaigns, the email that worked, and the prospecting mistake that wasted a month." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• An outreach campaign with the real reply and win rates
• A data story that earned links from news sites
• Content that keeps earning links years later
• How you vet sites before you pitch a guest post
• Unlinked mentions turned into links
• Spotting risky links before they hurt a site
• AI in prospecting, tested
• Building a link building team or agency

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept link building guest posts?

Yes. Link building guest posts are welcome from SEO specialists, outreach managers, digital PR leads and agency owners who have run real campaigns. We publish practical articles with results and decline spam tactics and tool promotion.

What link building topics do you accept?

Outreach, digital PR, linkable content, guest posting, broken link and mention campaigns, link quality and risk, AI in prospecting, and running a link building team. The common thread is a real campaign and what it earned.

Do you accept SEO guest posts too?

Yes. Wider SEO pitches suit the SEO page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor and the same standards apply.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a link building guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience running the link building campaigns you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
