GuestDecember 10, 2025 at 1:11 pmThis is a scam. You can buy a backlink on Forbes only through press releases, not guest posts. Forbes does not sell guest posts with followed links.
“$10 article writing for Forbes” is another red flag. Real Forbes contributors spend days or weeks on one piece to meet editorial standards.
There are no “admin accounts” that sell links. Link insertions into existing Forbes articles are also not possible. Any real update requires a full editorial rewrite and approval.
I would not engage with these guys.
