Wandered what people's thoughts werewhereby you can get a link from a blog by writing the content (with your link in), the site then posts it, but in order to keep the value, it's not submitted under a 'guest post/contributer/sponsored' section but under the name of a regular site editor..

Is this a good route forwards? should seem like a normal link etc..

    Unless you are trying to make a name for yourself as a thought leader or great writer, I see no problem with it (although it is definitely a bit odd). Bottom line is it is a link, which is the real reason most people guest post.

        And why does it matter if it is known as a guest post or not?

    It's called ghost writing. People do it all the time. Neil Patel, for example, does it for almost all of "his" content.

    Yeah you are right the way you are looking for the link under your name would cost you more and they are more beneficial also. Since you can pitch to other sites showing those posts and get more influence over them.

    Because I believe that google see's guest post's (which then have an anchor link text going back to the site) as a mild form of cheating. Let's be honest about it, you yourself are putting that link in your article so it's not really an impartial vote for your site is it?

      If the owner of the site is allowing it, then I could argue that yes it is.

      Guest posting happens all over the internet. It's just that for the most part only IM'ers call them guest posts. Authors appear on sites they don't own constantly, usually with links.
