Guest posts and link exchange
Our rules for guest articles and link offers — written to protect readers and the magazine.
We get many offers of guest posts and link exchanges. Most of them would hurt readers and the magazine, so our rules are strict.
Guest posts
- We accept ideas and drafts from practitioners, not ready-made posts for placement.
- The editors rewrite every text in our style and check every fact. The editor approves the final version.
- The author needs real experience with the topic and proof: screenshots, numbers, sources.
- No income promises, no hidden advertising and no links for sale.
- A company that sends a text is named. Paid materials are labelled Sponsored.
Links
- We don’t sell links in articles and don’t exchange links.
- Brand names in our texts link to our own company pages. Links to companies’ sites go through /go/ and are marked as sponsored: see the affiliate disclosure.
- Links are not allowed in comments and reviews.
Why so strict
Paid and exchanged links mislead readers and can get a site penalised by search engines. What we offer is independent, checked information, and we don’t trade it.
To suggest a topic or a draft, see the publishing rules.
