There’s a claim that gets repeated constantly in link building circles: niche edits are more powerful than guest posts because the page already has authority. It sounds logical.

There’s a misconception that runs through almost every link building conversation: if a link is inside the body of an article, it’s a contextual link. It isn’t. Not always.
