Name any popular blog that doesn't do sponsored post and I would send you a #1000 recharge card of any network now.

wwwmaster:

Wow! #1000 recharged card? Thanks for the gracious offer but you can keep it.
If you actually read what I posted above you will see where I mentioned NO-FOLLOW.

My point being that this your campaign on sponsored post based on domain authority does not make sense. Google will certainly penalize any blog that promote sponsored link and perse the link juice, it's the same thing as link selling which is against Google ranking policy. I am sure I clearly read this from Matt Cutts a few years ago.

questechie:

You are the one that brought "dofollow" to the thread, all I mentioned is that high domain authority is required to attract sponsors, and besides some product reviews don't even mandate you to make link dofollow. But I still maintains all popular blogs do give dofollow links to sponsor for a price and haven't been penalized by Google; quality contents outweighs all other considerations.

Don't think it's necessary to drag this, read from Google's mouth

Chief, I've read that before you even know it exists!

questechie:
In fact, I can give you some keywords to Google and they are sponsored posts on my blog with dofollow links, but still topping on SERP! If you care to see them reach me on whatsapp, Google doesn't penalize quality content because of dofollow link, my friend!

Cyberl33t:
Op what is the DA of ur blog?

Jacktheripper:


Sorry this is not about sponsored post but Twitter ads. Please when running Twitter ads, are you charged before or after running ads?

questechie:

Currently 37

Cyberl33t:

And I have a domain of that has a PA of 40 and DA of 30 staying idle

What should I do with that domain... Biko suggest for me.

questechie:

First, you should learn how to address people properly.

questechie:

Mostly, the SEO companies are after blogs with high domain authority, from DA 35 and above, they send articles to you to publish with a link back to their client for a fee!

henryobinna:
Hi bro, what tool do you use to check DA of a site, I mean a correct tool oh. The one I know is crap

questechie:

The best DA checking tool remains that provided by Moz here: https://moz.com/link-explorer

You need to register a free account and you will get 10 query per month for the free account.

Name one please and don't tell me we should listen to you instead of Matt Cutts. Matt explicitly warned against it.
Google hates the concept of buying your way to the top ranking. If there should be sponsored post it shouldn't be for seo purposes which makes fun of your domain authority concept.

I've seen this trend destroy many top blogs and others are now rejecting sponsored reviews with do follow linking.
Go and ask John Chow, he'll tell you from the first hand experience how Google destroyed his blog because of this.
Johnchow.com was I super blog I admired as of 2007 till Google slapped his blog to grave.

questechie:

Nothing can stop sponsored posts, as long as bloggers need to monetize, and if dofollow links are required to rank and we all need it, would getting it at a cost be any different! Even Google has been caught sponsoring a post!

wwwmaster:

Your last line is correct though.
