Specialised? This guy wants to write content and get free do follow links on your site.
Its all of a time waste really as no decent webmaster will alllow
someone else to profit at there expense and allow others shilling on their blog.
Stay clear webmasters.

Just speak for yourself dog-in-a-manger. A lot of webmasters need the service if you don't. By the way I already I'm writing for many even those that commented on this thread. You may as well convince them not to need it since you don't. I wonder what you know about being a webmaster?

This is a link for article which is perfectly valid. In reality, every serious website owners adds links in their content. So what's wrong with getting someone to give you a free article just because they need link you've been giving to sites such as bitcoin.org for nothing. I sure need a free article if it's good.

Perfectly valid? I have to disagree. Let's say a crypto platform approaches me and they say 'can I publish a press release on your blog?' I'd say no problem that would be x number of dollars and I provide a service (they get exposure and a do follow link and I get paid). This sound fair? Of course it is.

What Michael is doing is finding a client, writing an article and then trying to find blog (with an audience) to publish the content on for free. He gets paid and the blog owner doesn't. The article most likely won't be focusing on Bitcoin.org but promoting an altcoin (which in itself isn't a bad thing). Fair play to Michael if he can make that business model work, but he won't be doing that on my blog; I'll be creating my own content or allowing guest posts who don't use my use my blog as their own money making project).

And does your guest poster write you articles for free with no follow link back to their site? I do not see the issue if the article is of good quality. Or you assumed you'd just get a quality article while giving back nothing in return? To me it's one and the same ...Even if he writes for clients, it takes skills and hard work to get them. Anyway I need quality articles for my site because I've been giving out links routinely. This makes no difference since everyone gains.

I take your points on board however I don't agree. I've had guest posters on my blog and I'm always happy to give them a bio box with all their social media profile links and a link to their website. They have given me a free article so I'm happy to promote their brand (exposure to new readers, link juice to their homepage ect). For me, I see a difference if say the guest poster is get paid directly 500 - 1000 usd (for example) to shill an alt coin on my blog. Hey, that's just me though.
