It's been pretty much a frowned activity for more than ten years for any type of site. See [webmasterworld.com...]

I would concentrate more on your site's user friendly features, try to make users feel welcome and able to find what they want quickly. Site usability and customer service do more for your success in the long run.

If your business is a local one, it could pay to advertise in local media, or post "Specials" in your shop. Any of these efforts would be more useful than guest posting. If your business is online only, your competition is much more important and people would need to know why your site is the one to visit.

If you try to generate backlinks by dropping links in forum postings you will likely be considered a spammer, both by the forum and by the search engines. So don't do it.

If you take part in a forum over time and develop a legitimate reputation as an expert in your field, people who have come to know you will often look up your business when they need the product or service you offer. That is very different from just dropping links, though.

As for guest blog posting, links from random guest posts would likely have little SEO value. The strategy has been too much abused for search engines to give much respect to such links these days. However, if you can arrange high quality guest posts in places that would be of strong relevance to your target audience, they might bring direct traffic, regardless of SEO considerations.

However, be careful not to give away good content that could strengthen your own site.

Has not been useful for a decade or more. Search Engines figured that out and deprecated the ranking.

Expend your time and effort into site building and useful content. You will get a better return for your time and effort. Natural backlinks have more value, but those are few and far between.

Guest posting is still very relevant in E-Commerce SEO, even in 2025. It’s a solid way to build high-quality backlinks and drive targeted traffic. However, the key is to focus on relevant, authoritative sites.

From my own experience, I recently used AADS to place articles across several relevant websites. I noticed an improvement in my site’s positioning, and my organic traffic started to increase steadily. The boost in visibility also translated to more sales.
