Do you visitor put up for search engine marketing causes?

I’m a bit stunned as a result of in 2014, Google claimed visitor posting useless for search engine marketing causes and has penalized many visitor posting networks since. Even in 2021, Google mentioned it has many strategies to detect and never rely hyperlinks from visitor posts, warning SEOs to nofollow these hyperlinks and that these hyperlinks haven’t any worth.
However but, nonetheless so many SEOs use visitor posting for search engine marketing functions regardless of it being towards Google’s tips.
