The guest posting or guest blogging has been popular these days in the world of blogging. It helps the guest author to obtain backlinks, traffic and as well as readers too. There are a lot of benefits of guest posting for guest author and for blog owner in which blog the post is being published and I've discussed them all in our previous about guest posting and it's benefits. But in this post, I'm going to share some things or points which we should check properly while accepting or rejecting any guest post. Most of the newbies don't usually check the content or post properly written by guest author and it is not good as bad guest post can bring a lot of negative things to our blogs. So, this post is for newbies to analyze guest posts before publishing them.

1. Relevant Topic Of The Content

Most of the spam, fraudy guest authors send the irrelevant guest posts to the good blogs in order to gain the backlinks only but it's not good to publish irrelevant posts on blog which are not according to the main niche of a blog. Simply, we should look for the proper and relevant topic which should suite to the main niche of our blog. By this, our readers can be hurt by treating them irrelevant content and they can unsubscribe or stop reading your latest content. So, we should take care of our readers in providing them the suitable content for which they've subscribed to you. In simple words, we should provide them, what they actually want and that is the most unique and quality content in your niche.

2. Duplicate Content

As you may already know that we should not publish the duplicate, copied or ripped off content on our blog as there are many disadvantages for it. You can read out one of my article in which I've written deeply that why we should avoid copying content from other sites. So, before accepting any guest post we must look this point that has it been appeared before on the internet or it's really unique. Here you can use some of my tips to check for duplicate content. There are some tools mentioned in that post by which we can analyze the content that it is copied or unique. Now, if that guest post in unique and unseen then it has passed this bullet point and the chances are increasing to get that post accepted. Let's go for the next points.

3. Grammatical Errors In The Content

Most of the guest authors or bloggers write the guest post roughly. So, we should also check for the grammatical errors in the guest post. In order to check the grammar mistakes, I had shared a best tool for bloggers to check and correct grammatical mistakes and I also recommend you here to use that tool for grammar correction. Simply, check the guest post through that tool and if you find some mistakes then you can correct it yourself or even you can ask the guest author to correct the mistakes and warn him for rejecting the post because it is not well written. It's all up to you!

4. Check The Credit Link Which You're Giving Back

It is also important that we should check the credit link which we're going to insert in the guest post. So, you may be making it dofollow and it's really important to check because when the guest post will come to get indexed then the search engine's robot will go on that link through your blog and all the procedure of this point starts from here. Now, if the guest author's site contains irrelevant content with your niche then don't accept it. Only accept those whose guest author should be in same niche. Check for the content quality in the guest author's site, is that good? spam content? irrelevant with our niche? contains nudity? illegal content? These all points you've to check and if it contains good content with relevant link then it has also passed this point.

5. Does It Follows Your Other Guest Post Rules?

In last, I would like to notify you that does that guest post follows other rules and conditions which you've made for guest authors. They can be unique content, content length, seo optimized, featured image and instructions images, format or beautify post, guest author bio, guest author image and more. You can also visit our Write For Us page to know that which guidelines and rules we've made. So, check those all points and if the guest post passes all the points then simply congrats your guest author and publish the post otherwise reject the post because bad posts can affect on our blog.
