Want WordPress users to hear about your plugin, theme, hosting or tool? You can advertise on WP Thinker with a sponsored article, a sponsored review or an affiliate partnership. Whichever you pick, it's written for our readers, clearly labelled, and it stays honest. That's why readers trust what they read here.
We offer sponsored articles, sponsored reviews and affiliate partnerships for WordPress-related products. Every paid piece carries a "Sponsored" label, and every paid link is marked as sponsored for search engines. Prices depend on the format, and we send you our current traffic numbers along with the quote. Tell us about your product.
Who reads WP Thinker
WP Thinker has published guides about WordPress since December 2015. Our readers are people who build and run WordPress sites, and they arrive while trying to get something done:
- Bloggers and small business owners setting up, fixing or speeding up their sites;
- WooCommerce store owners comparing plugins, payment options and running costs;
- Freelancers and developers looking for a code snippet or a fix for an error;
- Anyone choosing a web host, using our hosting comparison and cost calculator.

WP Thinker is run by Rahul Vithala, founder and CEO of Thetechhacker Global Solutions. He has used WordPress since 2014, runs several of his own WooCommerce stores on it, and has worked with more than 3,000 client brands. When you get in touch, we'll share our latest traffic figures from our own analytics: monthly views, top countries, devices and the articles closest to your product. We'd rather show you real numbers than print round ones here.
Ways to work with us
Sponsored article
A practical article that helps readers solve a problem, with your product as one of the ways to solve it.
- We write it, or edit your draft to our standards
- Up to two links to your site
- Labelled "Sponsored" at the top
Sponsored review
We install and test your plugin, theme or service on a real WordPress site, then write about what we found.
- Screenshots from our own test
- Pros and cons, and who it suits
- You can check facts before it goes live, but the opinion stays ours
Affiliate partnership
Run an affiliate programme? We can use your affiliate link wherever we already mention or compare your product.
- Tracked through our partner links
- Click numbers on request
- Never changes our rankings or verdicts
What every sponsored piece gets
- A clear label. Readers see "Sponsored" before they start reading, and that is good for you too: trust is what makes people click.
- Search-engine-friendly links. Paid links use
rel="sponsored", as Google asks, so neither your site nor ours is put at risk. - The same care as our own guides. Clear headings, screenshots, internal links to related WordPress guides and proper SEO titles and descriptions.
- A permanent home. The piece stays published like any other article. We update it if your product changes, and remove it if you ask.
- A results report. After 30 days, we can share the article's views and the clicks on your links from our own analytics.
What we accept, and what we don't
| We're happy to feature | We say no to |
|---|---|
| WordPress plugins and themes | Gambling, betting and adult content |
| Web hosting and domains | Crypto, forex or "get rich" schemes |
| SaaS tools for site owners and stores | Essay mills, link farms and paid-review schemes |
| Developer tools, APIs and services | Products we couldn't recommend to a friend |
| Courses and books about WordPress, SEO and eCommerce | Anything misleading or unlabelled |
We may turn down a request that isn't a good fit for our readers, even when it fits the list above.
How it works
- Tell us about your product using the form below: what it does, who it's for and which format you have in mind.
- Get a quote and our numbers. We reply with a price and our latest traffic figures, and suggest the angle we think will work best for our readers.
- We create the piece. For reviews, we test your product first. You get to check the facts before anything goes live.
- It goes live, then you get the results. We publish it, link to it from related guides where it fits, and share views and clicks after 30 days.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the format and how much testing or writing it needs. A sponsored article written from your draft costs less than a full review that we test ourselves. Affiliate partnerships have no upfront fee. Send us a few details, and we'll reply with a quote and our current numbers, so you can decide whether it's worth it.
Questions advertisers ask
Can you guarantee a number of views or clicks?
No. Nobody honest can promise clicks before an article is published. What we can do is share our current traffic figures before you decide, and real views and clicks for your piece after 30 days.
Will the post be marked as sponsored?
Yes, always. Sponsored articles and reviews carry a visible "Sponsored" label, and paid links use rel="sponsored". We don't sell hidden or unlabelled links.
Can I pay for a positive review?
No. You pay for our time to test and write, not for a verdict. If we find problems, we'll tell you first and give you the chance to fix them or withdraw before anything is published.
Can I write the article myself?
Yes. Send us your draft. We'll edit it for accuracy and readability, and so it fits our style. If it reads like a press release, we'll rewrite it so it helps readers.
Do you offer banner ads?
Not at the moment. We keep the site free of display ads so pages stay fast and easy to read. Sponsored content and partnerships are the only paid options.
Can you add my link to an existing article?
Only where your product genuinely belongs and it helps the reader. Paid links in existing articles are marked rel="sponsored", like any other paid link.
