Sponsored Post Guidelines

To ensure your paid content performs well for both readers and search engines, here are our guidelines. These help us maintain quality, clarity, and engagement while giving your content the best chance to shine.

• Topic: Must be travel-related and receive our prior approval. (We’re happy to suggest a topic tailored to your link or brand.)
• Word Count: Minimum 1,000 words in US English.
• Style & Formatting: Use standard H2 headings for sub-sections. Avoid AI jargon, overused phrases, or unnatural phrasing.
• Link: Must directly relate to travel—destinations, gear, services, experiences, etc.—and provide clear value to travelers.
• Link Placement: Your link cannot appear in the introduction section.
• Anchor Text: Must read naturally within the article and align with the surrounding content. We retain final editorial discretion to ensure clarity and reader value.

Helpful Notes for Clients

These guidelines reflect common practices among high-authority travel sites. They ensure that your sponsored article will rank well in search and deliver value to readers.

• Editorial Review: We may adjust, expand, or restructure submitted content to improve clarity, engagement, and SEO. This can include adding charts, maps, references, or links. We never link to a sponsor’s direct competitors. If you want your article published exactly as submitted, without SEO or readability adjustments, a $50 surcharge applies.
• Link Review: We reserve the right to remove or replace non-sponsor links that conflict with our editorial standards. This helps maintain site quality, relevance, and ranking performance.
• Special Requests & Revisions: Minor tweaks after publication are free. Major adjustments—such as substantial content changes, modifying links, or adding new material—may incur a $50 fee per major revision request.
• Word Count Supplement: Articles under 1,000 words will incur a $25 content expansion fee.
• Payment: Payment is due upon publication. A PayPal invoice will be issued once the article goes live, and we can also accept payment via Wise.

Existing Content Placements—Starting at $150

We selectively integrate relevant travel brands and services into existing evergreen content where editorially appropriate.

Placements are considered based on topical relevance, reader value, and alignment with our editorial standards.

We only accept links in the travel sector. Other topics, such as CBD, crypto, casinos, essay writing, et al., will not be considered.

Placement Guidelines

• Link: Must be travel-related and relevant to the article’s topic. We only place links where they make editorial sense. We'll be glad to suggest a relevant page—just ask!
• Anchor Text: Must read naturally within the article and align with the surrounding content. We retain final editorial discretion to ensure clarity and reader value.
• Placement: Clients may request a preferred article for placement consideration, subject to topical fit, editorial standards, and existing partnership conflicts. Final placement decisions remain at our discretion to preserve reader experience and content integrity.
• Editorial Control: We retain final editorial authority over all placements to ensure alignment with site quality, readability, and reader experience.
• Payment: Payment is due upon publication. A PayPal invoice will be issued once the link goes live. We also accept payment via Wise.
