Content Publishing Policy

Content Policy:

  • We accept sponsored guest posts and advertising on our ClickDo News Blog. (https://news.clickdo.co.uk)
  • Only quality and relevant content to our blog will be accepted such as original concepts, compelling arguments, and high-quality writing. We will not republish anything that’s been published elsewhere as a guest post.
  • We require proper attribution of data, quotations, and outside content referenced in each article (check this page for more info: Harvard Website Citation.
  • We accept useful images or (info)graphics to enhance the content that are copyright free and not licenced. They can be labelled with the source, but the image should be free to use for commercial and editorial purposes.
  • Plagiarized contents and contents with grammatical or spelling errors will be disapproved.
  • Each article or guest piece should contain a minimum of 600-800 words and relevant images in it (royalty free images are preferred or uniquely designed images/graphics with the source added) and you are responsible for the images you provide (also for referencing them correctly).
  • Each blog will be manually reviewed by our editorial team before publishing.
  • Your contents will be reviewed & approved (or declined) instantly or within a maximum of 72 hours.
  • You should place adequate, relevant, helpful and functional reference links in the content you send to us. Links cannot be changed or updated later for any reasons. The contextual reference links should add value to the reader and should not be used to manipulate SEO or to purely promote a business or website.
  • For press release submissions we review the content and any links added for relevancy to our readers and we recommend not to link repeatedly to the same or similar sources. For SEO advantages we recommend having a media release published with tailored content and media relevant for our audience and we can offer advice for optimisation.

How articles are published:

Please use the contact form on our blog or email it to manuela@clickdo.co.uk and provide:

  • Title and a brief paragraph about the main outline.
  • Word count
  • Possible graphics/images you’ll provide

If approved, send the following:

  • Your completed post as a Google Doc or Word Doc with your hyperlinks to websites, resources, social media posts etc.
  • Image files (with attribution) in a separate folder or inside the document.

Post-publication reserved rights and duties:

  • We cannot allow you to republish your guest post to your own blog or any other platform after we have published it. However, you are free to share it like crazy with your social media audience.
  • We reserve the right to edit and adapt your guest blog content as we see fit and update it in the future for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
  • We reserve the right to include relevant links within our news.clickdo.co.uk website to articles.

For link placements in guest content submissions, we make the following differentiations:

  1. Guest content with a general hyperlink leading to a website page or post that is purely informational and does not include promotions, sales or advertisements is considered a basic guest publication.
  2. Guest content with a general hyperlink leading to a website page or post that is promotional or advertorial, encouraging readers to make a purchase or subscribe, is considered a branded guest publication.
  3. Guest content with a hyperlink leading to a website page or post about gambling, trading, or any other sensitive content website is considered a special branded guest publication.
  4. All link placements should be appropriate, relevant, functional and useful reference links in the content you submit. Links cannot be changed or updated after publication for any reasons, unless the link is no longer functional.
  5. All contextual reference links are subject to editorial approval and upon review, the editors will share their feedback.
  • For plain text press release publications that do not contain unique content we reserve the right to not index them so that we will not be penalised for duplicate content by search engines. For SEO advantages we recommend having a media release published with unique media and we can offer advice for optimisation.
  • For press release submissions we review any links added for relevancy to our readers and we recommend not to link repeatedly to the same sources.
