- →We do not alter editorial content on other pages to favour an advertiser.
- →Sponsored content that is misleading, unverifiable, or promotes harmful products is rejected.
- →We follow FTC and ASA disclosure guidelines. UK advertisers: see ASA CAP Code sections 2 and 3.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about formats, pricing, and process.
Do sponsored articles get a "nofollow" or "dofollow" link?
All sponsored articles include a standard do-follow backlink to your chosen URL unless the content is clearly promotional in nature, in which case we apply rel="sponsored" per Google's guidelines.
How long does it take to go live?
Display banners and newsletter features can go live within 24–48 hours. Sponsored articles require a review and light edit pass — typical turnaround is 3–5 business days from content approval.
Can I write the sponsored article myself?
Yes. We accept contributor-written sponsored articles subject to our editorial review. The piece must meet our quality bar and be clearly labelled "Sponsored". Our team reserves the right to request edits.
Do you offer package discounts?
Yes — bundle a sponsored article with a newsletter feature for 20% off. Long-term category sponsorships (3+ months) receive a 15% discount. Reach out for a custom proposal.
What industries do you accept?
We work with technology, SaaS, finance, health & wellness, education, and professional services brands. We do not accept gambling, adult content, payday loans, or unverified supplements.
