Guest Post Guidelines Analyzer

Paste a publisher’s “Write for us” page — or just its homepage — and get the rules in one table: word count, links allowed, dofollow policy, AI policy, pitch or full draft, and how to submit. Every value shows the sentence it came from.

Rules are read with transparent pattern matching — always confirm important details with the source sentence or the editor.

What the analyzer extracts

13 rules from every “Write for us” page

Each value comes with a confidence level and the exact sentence it was read from, so you can trust it — or check it in one click.

  • Accepting guest posts

    Open, closed or paused — so you never pitch a site that stopped accepting.

  • Word count

    Minimum, maximum or preferred length, from phrasing like “1,500+ words” or “800–1200 words”.

  • Links allowed

    How many links in the body, an author bio link, and rules like “no links in the first 100 words”.

  • Link type policy

    Dofollow, nofollow or rel="sponsored" when the publisher states it.

  • Fees & sponsored posts

    Flags pages that mention fees or sponsored posts — and publishers that pay writers.

  • AI content policy

    Not allowed, allowed with human editing, or not stated.

  • Originality

    Unpublished-only rules, republishing limits and plagiarism checks.

  • Pitch or full draft

    Whether to send an idea first or a finished article.

  • How to submit

    Email address, submission form or Google Doc instructions.

  • Topics accepted

    The categories the publisher lists.

  • Images

    Required images, sizes and copyright rules.

  • Response time

    How long the editors take to reply or publish, when stated.

  • Other rules

    Author bio limits, Grammarly checks, affiliate links, restricted niches and more.

Guest post guidelines FAQ

What does the Guest Post Guidelines Analyzer do?

It reads a publisher’s “Write for us” or contributor page and pulls out the rules link builders usually copy by hand: word count, how many links are allowed, whether links are dofollow, AI-content policy, pitch or full draft, how to submit, topics, images and response time. Every value shows the sentence it came from.

What is a typical guest post word count?

It varies by publisher. Many ask for roughly 800 to 1,500 words, and some editorial sites ask for 2,000 words or more. Always follow the number on the publisher’s own page — that is what this tool extracts.

How many links do publishers usually allow in a guest post?

Many allow one or two links to your own site in the body, sometimes plus one link in the author bio. Some allow no promotional links at all, or ask that links do not appear in the first paragraph. The analyzer reports the exact rule and its source sentence.

How do I know if a guest post link will be dofollow?

Only the publisher can decide. If their guidelines say links are nofollow or marked sponsored, the analyzer flags it. If nothing is stated, it shows “Not stated” — ask the editor before you write. After publishing, check the live link with our free Backlink Checker.

Are paid guest posts against Google’s guidelines?

Google asks that links in paid or sponsored content are qualified with rel="sponsored" (or nofollow). The analyzer flags pages that mention fees or sponsored posts so you know what you are agreeing to.

Why can’t the tool read some pages, and do you store my data?

Some websites block automated visitors or require a login; the tool then tells you the site refused the request. Results are cached for a few minutes to keep the tool fast; we do not store the pages you analyze in our database.
