We all know that guest posting on blogs is great way to gain great exposure for your website or blog as well as boost its SEO. But not all sites will give you great exposure or any SEO benefit if Google thinks your backlink sites are low-quality  or spammy. Since the Panda update, Google has been a little more holistic in their approach to ranking and a high number of links to your site isn’t the only factor they take into account in determining the SERPs. Today, not only do you have to have an awesome site, but links to your site also have to be awesome.

So how do you determine if a blog is a great place to submit a guest post and get a backlink from? Here are a few factors you may want to look at when you approach a site for guest posting.

1) Good Site Stats

Experienced search engine experts know that site stats aren’t everything. Google page rank shouldn’t necessarily be a determining factor when choosing to guest post on a certain blog, but the stats can give you a general idea of how authoritative and popular a site may be.
