Overview
What is the Promoted Content Program?
The Promoted Content Program allows brands, agencies, and PR professionals to publish sponsored articles directly on AndroidGuys. Clients can submit ready-to-publish drafts, complete with images, links, and embedded videos, which are then reviewed, lightly edited, and scheduled by our editorial team.
It’s a flexible way to highlight product launches, share announcements, or deliver branded stories in a format that blends naturally with our editorial environment, giving you more control over tone and message than traditional ads.
Who is the program designed for?
This program is ideal for brands, PR firms, marketing teams, and media partners seeking increased visibility among AndroidGuys’ tech-forward readership. It’s often used for product spotlights, campaign announcements, and lifestyle tech coverage.
Content & Guidelines
Are there restrictions on what I can submit?
All submissions must meet our editorial and quality standards. Content that is offensive, misleading, or contains prohibited material may be rejected or require revision.
What topics perform best?
We welcome articles focused on mobile devices, wearables, smart home gear, connected lifestyle tech, and related product categories. Avoid “Top 10” or “Best of” phrasing, please, as those styles are reserved for our editorial team.
Is there a minimum or maximum word count?
There’s no strict word count requirement. Most pieces naturally fall between 400–800 words, but we’re flexible. Focus on clarity and engagement over length.
How many links are allowed?
Up to three do-follow links may be included per article. We do not append tracking parameters or modify links unless specifically requested by the client.
Can I remove the sponsored disclaimer?
No. All promoted content includes a brief disclosure in accordance with transparency guidelines. The standard note reads:
Editor’s Note: This is a promoted post and should not be considered an editorial endorsement.
Review & Publication
Will you edit my article?
Yes. Our editorial team reviews every submission for grammar, clarity, and formatting consistency. Edits are minimal and designed to preserve your message while ensuring readability and professionalism.
What is the turnaround time?
Articles are typically published within 24–36 hours of submission and approval, depending on the editorial calendar and seasonal volume.
Can I schedule a specific publication time?
Yes. We can schedule your article for a preferred date or time to align with your campaign or release schedule.
Program Options
What’s the difference between Standard and Premium content?
- Standard: Covers most general submissions, including consumer tech, apps, and lifestyle products.
- Premium: Applies to content related to gambling, betting, crypto, forex, CBD, or other sensitive industries. A 20% fee applies to Premium listings.
Do you offer reseller or agency pricing?
Yes. Approved reseller partners receive exclusive discounted rates for ongoing submissions and bulk orders.
Are discounts available?
Yes. We occasionally run promotions and offer lower rates for multi-post packages or long-term commitments.
Payment & Process
How do I pay for Promoted Content?
Payments are processed via PayPal. Each client receives an invoice for tracking and recordkeeping. Estimates can be provided in advance for approval before publishing.
Can I pre-purchase or bundle posts?
Yes. Many clients choose to pre-purchase a small bundle (typically three or more posts) at a discounted rate. This locks in your pricing for 12 months, with no minimum order required after the initial commitment.
Transparency & Compliance
Do you provide do-follow links?
Yes. All approved links are do-follow unless otherwise requested. Each link is reviewed to ensure relevance and compliance with platform guidelines.
Do you accept casino, betting, crypto, forex, or CBD content?
Yes, but these fall under our Premium category and carry a 20% fee.
Can I request the “Promoted” label be removed?
No. For transparency and compliance reasons, all sponsored content appears in our Promoted category and includes a small disclosure at the end of the article.
