Placement
We publish guest posts on the Forward blog only.
Every accepted post goes live as a standalone article on our blog, is added to the blog index and its relevant category page, and is submitted to Google for indexing on the day it publishes. Posts are permanent — we don’t remove articles or strip links after publication.
Turnaround is 24 to 72 hours from approval.
Requirements
Original content only. Not published anywhere else, including your own blog, Medium, or LinkedIn. We check.
Length. 800 words minimum. Longer is fine where the topic justifies it.
Quality. Well structured with clear H2s and H3s, short paragraphs, and a point in the first hundred words.
No AI-generated content. We do not accept AI-written articles. Every submission is checked with AI detection tools, and drafts flagged as AI-generated are rejected. Use AI for research or outlining if you like, but the writing itself must be yours.
Editorial control. Our QA team reviews every submission for accuracy. If we find factual errors, misinformation, outdated data, or unverifiable claims, we reserve the right to edit or remove that content before publication. Substantial changes come back to you for approval.
Links. Up to two do-follow links per article, placed contextually inside relevant sentences. Branded, partial-match, and natural anchors work better than exact-match commercial anchors, and we’ll flag anchors that look forced.
Images. Welcome and encouraged. Supply them as separate files, at least 1,200px wide, with alt text and captions.
Format. Google Doc with comment access, or a .docx attachment.
Niches we review case by case
Casino, betting, gambling, CBD, crypto, forex, adult, loans, pharma, essay writing, and other regulated or high-risk verticals are handled individually and on different terms. Ask before you write.
Rates and terms
Terms depend on the topic, the niche, the number of links, and whether you’re supplying the content or you’d like our team to write it. Volume and retainer arrangements are available for agencies and publishers placing regularly.
Email info@tryforward.io for the current rate card.
