Sponsored articles, written in-house, published in-house.

No third-party publishers, no copy-paste templates. Our team writes every article in the voice of the publisher that will run it, weaves your link into its natural context, and applies the required disclosure mentions.

  • Written in-house
  • Draft sign-off
  • Disclosure included
The context

A sponsored article is editorial work with an honest commercial label.

The logic is simple: a publisher runs an article that serves a topic, where your brand gets cited because it's relevant to the subject. Reader, advertiser, publisher: everyone wins if the angle holds up. It's the opposite of a banner ad that interrupts reading to sell something.

Quality in a sponsored article isn't measured by how often the brand name shows up. It's measured by what the article brings to the publisher's reader. A piece that informs, takes a position, shares a real example, gets read and shared. A bolt-on piece gets scrolled past in two seconds and forgotten.

That's why all the work sits in the writing. The right angle, the right vocabulary, the right length. A successful placement nearly blends into the rest of the publication that hosts it. Nearly, because the disclosure has to stay visible.

A good sponsored article nearly blends into the rest of the publication.

The rule we hold ourselves to
Formats

Sponsored article, advertorial, press release, banner

Four families of publications often confused with each other. They share neither the editorial angle, nor the legal framing, nor the SEO impact. Here's what sets them apart.

Our format

Sponsored article

Full article written to serve a topic, where your brand or URL is referenced because it genuinely belongs there. The voice and angle come from the publisher, not the advertiser.

Use case: This is what we publish across the Stringer network.

Advertorial

Promotional article carrying the publisher byline but clearly sold as a placement, with a mandatory "advertorial" or "sponsored content" disclosure. Often the format used by authority press outlets.

Use case: Advertisers with a budget and an already-established brand.

Press release

Text supplied by the advertiser, run as-is or lightly adapted. The publisher acts as a relay, the angle stays brand-led. Limited editorial reach, strong announcement effect.

Use case: Product launches, funding rounds, events.

Display ad banner

Standard display format, identified as advertising by the reader. Limited direct SEO impact (links nofollowed or redirected), focused on awareness and click-through.

Use case: Targeted brand awareness campaigns.
Quality criteria

What makes a sponsored article worth running

The performance of a publication isn't a function of word count or site DR alone. Five criteria genuinely move the result, on the reader side, the SEO side, and the compliance side.

01

The publisher's real audience

A sponsored article on a site without readers is an article only Google will read. Ask to see organic traffic, audience profile, the topics covered. The editorial reach is what separates a placement that drives qualified visits from one that gets buried in the archive.

02

Topical fit with your business

Publishing an article about energy suppliers on a cooking blog is technically possible and editorially absurd. Readers see it, Google sees it. Pick a publisher whose editorial line already speaks to your audience, or at least an adjacent topic the angle can justify.

03

Originality and writing quality

An article that's machine-generated, copy-pasted from a product sheet, or stitched from ten competitor sites won't help your image or your SEO. The text has to bring something to the publisher's reader: an analysis, a real-world case, a perspective. That's what separates an editorial placement from a glorified ad slot.

04

The publisher's tone and signature

An article that reads like a sales sheet inside an editorial blog stands out instantly. The writer has to adopt the vocabulary, length, structure and angle the publisher actually uses. That editorial discipline is what makes the publication credible.

05

Transparency on the commercial nature

European law and Google's guidelines require that the commercial nature of a publication be flagged to the reader. Disclosure mentions, rel=sponsored, a "sponsored content" label: these protect the brand, the publisher and the audience. They fit into the format without breaking the experience.

How we work

From brief to publication, in four steps

An in-house editorial team, a short brief, writing calibrated to the publisher's voice. You sign off before publication, the link stays live as long as the article does.

01

Short brief, signed off upfront

You describe your brand, the angle you'd like, the link or links to integrate, the anchor you want to test. No endless form: a brief fits on one page. We sign it off with you before writing starts.

02

Written by our editorial team

A writer from our team produces the article in the voice of the publishing site. No opaque outsourcing, no automated generation, no templates recycled from one site to the next. Every piece is original.

03

Draft sign-off before publication

You read the full draft before it goes out. If the angle isn't right, you ask for adjustments and we rework until it lands. No surprises after the fact.

04

Published, monitored, link stable

The article goes live on the chosen publisher with the right disclosure. The link stays active as long as the article exists. If a serious editorial reason ever forces removal, we offer a free replacement placement.

Public pricing

Three ways to buy a publication

The price of a sponsored article moves with the publisher. The floor sits on niche sites with modest reach, the ceiling on more established outlets. The full grid is in the catalogue, by site.

Single article

One publication, one publisher chosen from the catalogue. Brief, writing, sign-off, publication. Ideal for testing a format or hitting a precise topic.

  • Brief + draft sign-off
  • Disclosure included
  • No commitment

Watch out for

Classic traps in sponsored articles

Three mistakes we keep seeing on bad placements. None of them are unavoidable, all of them get expensive when ignored. Here's what we put in place to neutralise each one.

Risk

Missing disclosure

Without a "sponsored content" mention or rel=sponsored, the article exposes both advertiser and publisher to consumer-protection sanctions, and Google may treat the link as manipulative.

How we handle it

Disclosure on every piece

Every article published on the network carries the disclosure suited to the format. Commercial links carry rel=sponsored by default, switchable on your request for a justified editorial dofollow.

Risk

Weak writing quality

A thin, poorly informed or badly written article damages the brand as much as the publisher hosting it. Links from that kind of content carry little SEO weight.

How we handle it

In-house writing, systematic review

Every article is written by our team from a precise brief and reviewed before publication. You sign off on the draft, nothing goes live until the angle is locked.

Risk

Visible footprint

When 50 sponsored articles across 50 different sites share the same template, the same length and the same structure, the pattern becomes detectable and loses value.

How we handle it

One voice per publisher

Every article is calibrated to the tone and length of the publisher running it. No uniform template across sites, no structure copied from one placement to the next.

Frequently asked

Before you order, the questions that come up most

How much does a Stringer sponsored article cost?
The price depends on the publisher: audience, authority, niche, expected length. Entry-level placements sit around 80 € for a niche blog with modest reach, climbing into the hundreds for a more established outlet. The grid is public in the catalogue, by site.
Do you write the article or do I supply it?
We write it. That's central to our model. Our editorial team takes your brief and crafts an original piece calibrated to the publisher's voice. You can supply a reference text, but we'll rework it so it fits naturally. That guarantees editorial quality and avoids footprints.
Is the link dofollow or nofollow?
By default, commercial links carry rel=sponsored, in line with Google's guidance. If your strategy calls for a justified editorial dofollow on a piece that warrants it (customer case, expert op-ed, original study), we evaluate case by case based on the article's tone.
How long between order and publication?
Five to ten business days depending on length and topic complexity. The exact calendar gets locked at brief stage. You sign off on the draft before publication, which can add a day or two of back-and-forth.
Can I choose the link anchor?
Yes, within the limits of editorial coherence. An exact-match commercial anchor that sticks out in an editorial piece will be reworked by our team to keep it credible. Soft anchor, brand, descriptive, naked URL: tell us your preference and we'll align with you.
How long does the article stay online?
As long as the site exists. The network's media are operated by us, so no third-party publisher can pull your article overnight. In the rare case of an editorial removal, we offer a free replacement placement on another site in the network.

We write, we publish, you sign off.
