Sponsored article
- 12 months
- From $300
- 24 months
- From $600
You supply the draft. I review, edit, and publish it.

- Editorial review and one revision round
- One sponsored link to your product
Custom content
- 12 months
- From $600
24 months: separate quote.
I develop the article from an agreed brief.
- Outline, research, writing, and publication
- A practical tutorial, use case, or walkthrough
- One revision round and one sponsored link
Choose a 12- or 24-month term. The written agreement confirms the publication date, placement, any applicable taxes, and cancellation or early-removal terms. There is no automatic renewal or promise of permanent placement. Renewal is separately quoted at the then-current rate. Existing written agreements keep their individually agreed rates and terms. Brand-only placements use the same rates; removing a link does not halve the editorial work or placement price.
The term starts on publication. After expiry, the commercial placement may be removed unless renewed; useful editorial content may remain with its disclosure. Rates updated 2026-10-19.
Choose the reader's problem before the placement
Suggest one relevant page or a practical question your product helps answer. A measurement tool could support an AI referral workflow; a data product could support an extraction tutorial. I confirm the editorial fit, destination, disclosure and scope in the quote.
Preview the site's editorial approach in the AI referral measurement guide, scraping pricing guide and research methodology. These links are editorial examples, not claims of previous sponsored placements or guaranteed availability.
Topics that fit
- B2B SaaS, CRM, email platforms, and marketing operations
- SEO tools, analytics, conversion optimization, and demand generation
- AI tools and automation with a concrete business use case
- Web data, APIs, and responsible scraping workflows
- Browser extensions and productivity tools for marketers
Proposals I decline
- Unrelated products, generic link lists, or bulk link packages
- Casino, betting, CBD, drugs, adult content, payday loans, and speculative investment promotions
- Misleading claims, pirated products, or fabricated reviews
- Undisclosed ads, paid dofollow links, and paid changes to review scores or rankings
- Link exchanges or free guest posts whose only purpose is a commercial backlink
What a publishable article looks like
Agree on the topic before writing. A useful tutorial or documented example is a better fit than a company announcement or sales pitch.
- Answer a specific question. For example: how to route inbound leads into a CRM, compare reporting workflows, or automate a recurring SEO task.
- Write original English content. Typically 800–1,500 words, with length agreed around the topic. No copied, spun, or previously published submissions.
- Show the work. Include concrete steps, examples, and screenshots you have permission to use. For hands-on coverage, provide product access; a trial alone is not payment.
- Support factual claims. Link to primary sources for prices, features, and statistics. Identify limitations. Never invent testing, customers, results, or quotes.
- Keep promotion relevant. One commercial destination per placement; supporting editorial sources are welcome. Link text must describe the destination naturally.
- Expect editing. AI-assisted drafts must be checked by a human. I retain final control over the headline, wording, links, disclosure, and publication decision.
From proposal to publication
1. Send the brief
Include the advertiser, destination URL, format, topic or proposed page, budget, and deadline. Agencies should identify the end client.
2. Agree on the scope
I review the fit and confirm the quote and terms. Payment is due in full after approval and before writing or publication begins.
3. Review and publish
We resolve factual corrections, then publish the approved placement with a visible sponsorship label. You receive the published URL.
What sponsorship includes—and what it does not
Sponsorship pays for agreed editorial work and placement. It does not buy a positive review, a recommendation, a ranking position, or guaranteed traffic, leads, indexing, or SEO results.
Paid links use rel="sponsored" and may also use nofollow. Existing reviews and comparison rankings remain independent. Destination changes require a new review; unsafe or misleading links may be removed under the agreed terms.
Each article can have at most one paid sponsor at a time. An agency must identify the end client, and every submission must solve a relevant reader problem with original, sourced content. Payment does not override this review or reserve space across the site.
If I end a compliant placement before its agreed term, I offer an agreed replacement or a prorated refund for the unused term. Removal for a material breach, misleading claims or an unsafe destination is handled under the written agreement. No silent destination swaps.
Cancellation before work starts receives a full refund. Once work starts, completed work is charged as agreed in the written quote and the remainder refunded. The quote separates editorial work from placement so any unused placement term can be calculated fairly.
Social promotion, newsletter inclusion, homepage placement, exclusivity, and additional links are not included. Read the editorial and disclosure policy.
Send your sponsorship brief
A complete brief helps avoid follow-up emails. Submitting a proposal does not reserve a placement or create a payment obligation.
