From the project READMEGuest Post Placement
Use this skill to plan guest post campaigns where off-site bylined content must serve the publisher's audience, justify its citations, and support an on-site asset or business goal.
This skill is derived from Garrett French and Eric Ward's Ultimate Guide to Link Building and uses transformed guidance with durable book-topic references. Do not copy book prose into user outputs.

Core Posture

- Every link needs a reader-serving citation reason.
- Commercial pages often need citable elements before outreach.
- Pitch titles before complete articles in scaled campaigns.
- Track content inventory carefully to avoid duplicate placement.
