Here at Stumble Forward we are looking for those that would like to write informative, unique, and original content for our site centered around a broad array of financial topics from insurance, investing, debt relief to consumer advice. Here are just a few benefits you will get.
Benefits
- Build Traffic To Your Site. Stumble Forward brings in more than 8000 visitors a month and counting. In fact nearly 90% of those visitors come directly from search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
- Add A Link. When you write an article at Stumble Forward you’re allowed to add one link to your page. You can use any anchor text you wish, linking back to any page in your site, and the link will be a followed link. Doing this will add value to your site helping you rank better in the search engines, and drive more traffic back to your site.
Guest Post Rules
- Article Length. Before you submit a guest post you must agree to the rules. First off, your article must be at least 800 words or more to be accepted.
- Grammar & Spelling. The article must contain proper grammar and spelling otherwise it will be declined immediately.
- SEO. The article must have an approved title and use suggested key phrases within the article body. This is done to help promote your article in the search engines and also drive extra traffic to your website creating a win/win for both of us.
- Two Links Only. The post itself can only contain one link within the article and one link within the authors bio . On top of that you are allowed to choose the link destination and anchor text. However the anchor text must relate to the article. For example, if an article is about investing a good anchor text would be best investing books. A bad anchor would be backpacking in Europe since it doesn’t relate to the article topic or investing. Links should also go back to a blog and will be checked. Finally, NO AFFILIATE LINKS.
- Originality. The article must be unique, original, and informative. Each article submitted will be checked against Copyscape for copies. If any exist it will be declined immediately.
- Easy To Read. The article should also be easy to read with short paragraphs, sub headlines, and bullet points. You should be able to scan the article to get a good idea of what it is about. No big blocks of texts, this will ensure you get rejected.
- Quality. At Stumble Forward we are looking for detailed articles that cover the topic well, not your normal general content. In fact we really like it when guest writers add their own unique experiences, and include pictures to convey the message of the article.
- Personal Experiences. Try to include personal experiences with in your articles. Doing this will give a better user experience to the reader when it comes from someone who has already done what you are trying to teach.
- Authors Bio. You must also include an authors bio at the end of your article that explains who you are. An author picture is also recommended as well.

As a final note I should mention that I follow these rules very closely and if any article doesn’t meet my expectations it will be rejected instantly, with feedback of course. In the end, I don’t do this to be picky but rather because I get dozens of guest post request each day and don’t have a lot of time to sift through them all. So consider the rules carefully and Good Luck.
