When you guest blog just for SEO, you fail to share a message with readers and to use relevant links that will help them.

All you're doing is repeating something that everyone already knows, just to throw in a backlink or two.

And that's spam, not advertising.

Unfortunately, that's what you typically get when you hire cheap writers to write your guest posts.

Sponsored content is the same. High-quality sponsored content is not like paid links—it's amazon database more like affiliate marketing done well.

But spam in both contexts is never useful.

Get these links nofollowed or removed if you can, or disavow them.

But if you get good traffic from the posts, work with the bloggers and webmasters to improve the content and replace the spammy links with new links.
