    Yes! Guest Posting still works. Actually you have to deliver high quality content. Just don't do guest posting for making only backlinks which is consider as link spamming by Google.

        In my opinion guest posting is effective. I've been utilizing the power of guest posting and one of my websites has been climbing the Google since engine and I'm assuming it's because of it.

        I've definitely utilized some High PR sites and it has really strengthened the credibility of my site and building up my backlinks.

    Absolutely but it depends on where you're guest posting. Do your research on the site you want to guest post before-hand in order to control the outcome.

    Guest posting still works wonders, however you should see it as a way to drive traffic and to establish yourself as an expert in the field rather than just a way to get backlinks.
    Therefore it is important to guest blog only on high-quality, authority sites with large audience base. And to be approved on those sites, you need content that delivers real value to their audience.

      I wonder where do you find people that allow guest postings and/or where do you find people who are willing to post on your own blog?

    It still works if your primary reason for doing it is to build a network and reputation, not links.

    Guest blogging, if done to a high standard, is still an excellent method of content marketing and won't be going away any time soon.

    Effective guest blogging involves:
    • Awesome content
    • Posting on reputable blogs
    • Building strong relationships with editors

    Bad guest blogging (the kind Google claims to be cracking down on) involves:
    • Crappy mass-produced content
    • Submitting said crap articles to dozens of mediocre blogs
    • Using guest blogging networks where such methods are used

    I mean it's simple really; just focus on quality, always.
