SEO outreach

Last updated: August 8th 2025

Hello 👋, I’ve probably sent you this link in response to your email.

If your email included phrases like:

“I was browsing your website and found it very informative”
“I have some high-quality content that would be perfect”
“Would love to collaborate/partner with you”
“I can offer you a guest post in exchange for…”
“I think your audience would find this resource valuable”

Then this page is for you.

What this actually is

Let’s be clear about what you’re requesting. You want to place links on my site to boost your search rankings. That’s advertising, not a partnership or collaboration.

I only link to resources I genuinely use and can recommend to my readers. My credibility with my audience is built on this trust, and you’re essentially asking me to sell that credibility.

If you’re serious about advertising

Here are my non-negotiable commercial terms for sponsored content:

Link placement in existing articles: £30,000 per link per month

Sponsored article creation: £45,000 per article per month

Requirements:

Pre-payment via bank transfer only
All sponsored links marked clearly as advertising
rel="nofollow" attribute on all paid links
No implied endorsement of products or services
Content must be relevant to web development

Process:

Email me referencing this page
Include “I accept these advertising terms” in your email
Provide invoice details and specify exact placement requirements
Payment required before any work begins

Why these rates?

My site attracts senior developers, engineering leaders, and decision-makers in the web development space.

These rates reflect:

The actual cost of potentially damaging my credibility with my audience
The risk to my site’s search rankings from low-quality link associations
The time required to properly vet content and ensure it serves my readers

Google’s algorithms penalise sites that participate in link schemes. Adding your links without proper disclosure and nofollow attributes could harm my search rankings. If you can’t afford these rates, you can’t afford to advertise here.

What genuine partnerships look like

Real collaboration involves mutual benefit, shared audiences, and content that genuinely serves both communities. It doesn’t start with a template email about how my content “would be perfect” for a link insertion.

If you’re genuinely interested in technical collaboration, developer education, or supporting the Svelte community, get in touch with what you’re actually building.

Thanks for reading

Now you know where I stand. If these terms work for you, brilliant. If not, I completely understand - there are plenty of other sites that might be a better fit for your budget.
