How to guest post requests, the wrong way

Guest posting for those of you who don't know what it is, in simple terms, is the Act of providing content (as a form of an article, video, infographics, etc.), with a website or blog that belongs to someone else. The numerous benefits of guest posting can be found all over the place and with the recent changes that "search engines" have done to grade sites on their results, this form of "linkbuilding" getting out of control.

Why Is Guest Posting so popular?

The real benefits of guest posting is mainly to build credibility, gain exposure. It is a win/win scenario for both the blog owner and guest blogger. That is my humble opinion. A guest blogger should know how to do things right, and on the contrary, the blog owner has some few to apply ethical standards when accept reviews messages. It works both ways you know?

However, and as mentioned earlier, search engines, in their quest for the best possible user experience, has been devalued and will continue to do this, many link building techniques. The main reason for this is because many link building tactics are only done to manipulate results. Link building is an important factor of SEO, but only if they are of good quality. Quality is here translates to back links of authority and relevant sites, of course, and preferably of an editorial content. This is best achieved through guest posting.

With that said, here is where the problem starts to happen. Link builders, spammers, and it keeps, its gone crazy sending request blog owners for guest posting. There must be a "Guide" who circulates the area that is the "ultimate, blah, blah to link building". It offers probably even "templates" of how to approach the blog owner of a for submitting a guest post.
