Question about guest posting
Let's say I'm trying to build links to a page on my site called "xyz123 toaster oven review". It would be very difficult to find enough blogs that are relevant to my niche where I could guest post. However, I've noticed that a lot of blogs that allow you to guest post actually place your link in your "author bio" that is placed above or below the guest post.
Do you think blog owners from niches unrelated to mine would consider it too "spammy" to include a link to my "xyz123 toaster oven review" page in my author bio below the article? Even if I wrote an amazing guest post article for their finance, weight loss, technology, etc. blog?
I guess I'm asking if guest posting can be used to get links to unrelated sites or if that's frowned upon in the blogging community?
