Link exchange & guest blogging guidelines

1. Website relevance & quality

We prioritize collaborations with websites operating in or covering topics related to:

• SaaS and software products
• Artificial Intelligence and AI tools
• Startups, entrepreneurship, and indie hacking
• Marketing, SEO, and growth
• Productivity and business tools
• Technology, innovation, and digital solutions
• No-code, automation, and developer tools

Websites from other industries may also be considered if their audience and content are relevant to Maarket's readers.

We evaluate potential partners based on:

• Topical relevance and audience alignment.
• Quality and originality of published content.
• Genuine organic traffic and search visibility.
• Website credibility, indexing, and overall user experience.
• Backlink profile and signs of spam or manipulative SEO practices.

Note: We do not enforce a strict Domain Rating (DR) threshold. Website quality, relevance, and audience value matter more than DR alone.

2. Mutual link exchange guidelines

We welcome mutually beneficial link exchange opportunities when both websites can provide genuine value to their respective audiences.

1. Links must be contextually relevant to the content in which they appear.
2. We prefer placements within existing, indexed articles that receive or are likely to receive relevant organic traffic.
3. Anchor text should appear natural and fit the surrounding content.
4. We do not accept excessive exact-match keyword anchors or forced keyword placements.
5. We prioritize editorially appropriate placements rather than links added solely for SEO purposes.
6. We generally prefer relevant, balanced collaborations, but do not require an automatic one-to-one link ratio.
7. We do not exchange links with direct competitors or websites promoting spam, misleading products, or prohibited content.
8. All proposed placements are subject to review and approval by the Maarket team.

3. Guest blog submission guidelines

We welcome original, informative guest contributions that offer practical value to our audience.

Preferred topics include:

• SaaS growth and product marketing
• SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
• AI tools and emerging technologies
• Startup journeys and founder experiences
• Product discovery and distribution
• Marketing strategies and growth experiments
• Productivity, automation, and business technology

Content requirements:

1. Articles must be original, unpublished, and written specifically for Maarket.
2. Content should generally be between 800 and 1,500 words.
3. Articles must provide actionable insights, practical examples, or useful information.
4. Content should be well-structured with appropriate headings, short paragraphs, and relevant formatting.
5. Claims, statistics, and research findings must be accurate and supported by credible sources where appropriate.
6. Content must not be overly promotional or written solely to acquire backlinks.
7. AI-assisted content is acceptable when properly reviewed, fact-checked, and meaningfully edited by a human.
8. We reserve the right to edit content for clarity, accuracy, formatting, and editorial consistency.

4. Backlink & anchor text policy

To maintain the integrity of Maarket's content:

• Links must be relevant to the topic and useful to readers.
• Anchor text should be natural, descriptive, and non-manipulative.
• We do not accept excessive exact-match commercial keywords.
• Links to low-quality, irrelevant, misleading, or unrelated websites will be rejected.
• We do not guarantee dofollow backlinks or specific SEO ranking improvements.

We reserve the right to reject collaborations involving:

• Gambling, betting, or casino websites.
• Adult content or explicit material.

• Approve or reject any collaboration request.
