If you’re looking to publish an article that links to porn, gambling, CBD products, bodybuilding supplements, weight loss supplements or items that are illegal for sale in the UK/EU then I’m afraid we’re not the right website for you.

- Articles that reference or link to CBD, cannabis, THC or tobacco products
- Articles that contain links to payday loan providers, financial services or derived products unless the article is a fair and balanced review of available services and does not serve to advertise one client/product. For example, a post about student finance that links to various student credit cards would be acceptable, however a post that only linked to the one credit card would not.
- Articles that contain links to fitness/wellbeing supplements, shakes, proteins that promote diet loss, fat burning or other health claims.

Please don’t waste your time and ours by contacting us if you plan to link to any of these items as we won’t accept your article.
We also require that a disclaimer be present on each article (whether it’s a standard guest post or a priority post). This is placed at the bottom of the article, under the link to the featured image and an example can be seen below (note: we reserve the right to change the wording at any time):
Please note that this disclaimer will not be removed for any article.
Now, if you are happy with the above, read on!

What Will We Need From You In Order To Discuss Your Proposal?
As we receive a lot of queries regarding priority content placement, it would be easier when you initially contact us to provide the following information which will speed up the process
- What do you want us to do exactly (host a pre-written article, review a product, add a link etc.)?
- How does this fit in with the content on our website?
- How does this fit in and benefit with our readership?
It would also be beneficial to supply a link to a similar article so that I can see that quality of writing and type of links included.
What Are Priority Posts?
Priority posts are articles that jump the standard editorial calendar queue. You can either choose an exact publication date and time for a priority post or if you don’t have an exact date in mind, we can usually publish these within 48 hours of receipt. If you would like to consider a priority posting placement, please contact us so we can discuss your requirements.
Do You Allow Link Additions To Old Posts?
This is something we can certainly look at if the link adds extra value to our readers and is relevant to the content. Please contact us to discuss this further.
Do You Allow “Do Follow Links?”
If your post fulfils the publication criteria then you can have “do-follow” links within the article if they’re relevant. Please note that the anchor text of your link must fit in with the article content and not be considered as spammy or keyword stuffing. We may request that anchor text is changed if we feel it does not fit in.
The “Follow [Name] On bio links to website and social media accounts are also do-follow. Any links within the bio text itself will be no-follow links.
Due to the large volume of requests we receive if we deem your proposal to not meet any of the above guidelines then you may not receive a reply from us.
Note: once an article is published, we reserve the right to add, amend or remove links, content and images etc. in order to keep the article up-to-date and provide additional information.
