Guidelines
All sponsored content and editorial placements must meet our standards for quality, relevance, and reader value.
- Topic: Must be travel-related and receive our prior approval. We’re happy to suggest a topic tailored to your brand or link.
- Word Count: Sponsored articles must contain at least 1,000 words in US English.
- Style & Formatting: Use standard H2 headings for subsections. Avoid AI jargon, overused phrases, and unnatural wording.
- Links: Must relate directly to travel and fit naturally within the content.
- Link Placement: Sponsored links cannot appear in article introductions. For existing content, you may request a specific article, subject to editorial approval.
- Anchor Text: Must read naturally within the surrounding content. We retain final editorial discretion.
Helpful Things to Know
- 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.
- 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: We issue a PayPal invoice when the article goes live, and payment is due on receipt. We can also accept payment via Wise and Zelle.
We do not negotiate or work with resellers. Thank you for understanding.
