GUEST POSTS · FREE FOR BOTH SIDES
Get published on sites that want guest posts.
Writers find sites that say yes to guest posts, read the rules first and see every outbound link before they send. Site owners get a submission link, clear rules and a proper review. Every post is checked when it goes live. Free on both sides.
No website needed to write. No card. Agree to a site's rules today and your post keeps that version.
Examples on this page use fictional sites, people and figures.
FOR WRITERS
From draft to a live link, in one place.
No pitching into silence. Every site you can submit to has said yes to guest posts, and you read its rules before you write a word.
Step 01
Find a site that wants guest posts
Start from a site you know: search the verified sites that accept guest posts by name or domain, open a submission link a site has shared, or invite the site you'd love to write for.
- Only verified sites that are taking submissions are listed
- See each site's country and topics before you choose
- Not listed yet? Invite it. Joining is free.
Step 02
Read its rules before you write
Topics, length, links, link text, images, author bio and how fast the site replies, all in one place. You agree to the version you read.
- Rules are versioned, so you know exactly what you agreed to
- They stay beside your draft while you write
Step 03
Bring a Google Doc, or write here
Import a public Google Doc with its images, or write in the Rankbench editor. Everything saves as you go.
- Checks for title length, words, headings and image alt text
- Your draft stays yours until you send it
Step 04
Check every link before you send
Rankbench lists every link to another site, grouped by domain, with authority insights, so nothing in your article surprises the editor.
- Links grouped by domain, so you see every site you link to
- Authority, global rank and sites linking in, where available
Step 05
Send, revise, go live
Editors comment on the exact words. Reply, fix and send again; each send is a new version. When the post is published, Rankbench checks the page and every link.
- Follow each post: in review, changes requested, approved, verified live
- Comments sit on the words they are about
No website needed to write. No card. Agree to a site's rules today and your post keeps that version.
FOR SITE OWNERS
Good articles in. The rest stays out.
Open your site to guest posts, say exactly what you'll accept, and review every article before it goes anywhere near your readers.
Step 01
Open your site
Verify you own it and turn guest posts on. Pause submissions whenever you need a break.
- Only verified sites are shown to writers
- Turn guest posts off again at any time
Step 02
Set your rules
Start from Easy-going, Balanced or High bar, then adjust topics, length, links and turnaround. Writers read them before they start.
- Every change is a new version; past submissions keep theirs
- Topics you never accept, said once, up front
Step 04
Review with your team
Comment on any sentence or image. Keep internal notes your writers never see. Approve, or ask for changes or reject with a note.
- Every link in the article is checked for you
- Invite teammates to review with you, with no charge per seat
- Each resubmission arrives as a new version, with its history kept
Step 05
Publish, then verify
Publish the approved article on your site and add its address. Rankbench checks the live page against what you approved.
- The page loads, can be indexed and carries the agreed links
- On a blog Rankbench hosts, publish the approved post in one click
RULES FIRST
Clear rules on both sides of every post.
Owners publish what they accept. Writers read it before they start. Every submission records the version it was written for, so nobody argues about what was agreed.
What a site can ask for
Start from a preset and change anything. Writers see every rule before they start, beside their draft while they write, and on the site’s submission page.
- Topics you accept, and never accept
- Quality you expect, such as original or expert-led
- Shortest article
- Most links to other sites
- Link rules and link text
- Images and author bio
- How fast you review
Rules are versioned. A change applies to new submissions; each post keeps the version it was written for.
Written for readers, not for links. Google's spam policies target posts made mainly to place keyword-rich links, so each site's link rules and its editor's review keep links natural. No tool can promise how Google will judge a link.
VERIFIED LIVE
Published means published properly.
When the post goes up, Rankbench reads the live page and checks it against the version that was approved. The writer sees the result too.
What the check proves
- The page loads
- Search engines may index it
- The text matches the approved version
- Every agreed link is on the page
- Each link points where it should, with the agreed words
Checked when the post is published, against the version the site approved.
INVITES
Want to write for a site that isn't here yet?
Invite it. The owner gets a page made for them, joins free and sets their rules, and you hear the moment the site is ready for your post.
Step 01
Send an invitation
Add the site and, if you like, the owner's email and a personal note. Or copy the link and send it yourself.
Step 02
They see what's in it for them
Fresh stories for their readers, with the final say on every word. Joining is free for them.
Step 03
You hear when it's ready
You're told when they accept and when their site is ready, and their submission link is one click away.
BETTER TOGETHER
Have a site too? Exchange backlinks as well.
Your own site can exchange backlinks with verified partners in the backlink exchange: same rules-first approach, also free.
