Affiliate Marketing Posting Sites: 100 Places to Publish

Affiliate publishing splits into four tiers, and where you can land a byline depends on whether you have real numbers or just opinions.

The marketing and SEO blogs do not take open guest posts. The affiliate and monetisation blogs take case studies with real numbers. The networks take education for their own blogs. The blogging sites are open. The list of 100 is below, grouped by tier.

Pick your tier first

Tier	Examples	How you get in
Marketing & SEO blogs	Backlinko, Ahrefs, Semrush, HubSpot, Search Engine Journal, Neil Patel	Not open guest posts. Original data, a case study, or expert commentary on a live SEO story
Affiliate & monetisation blogs	Authority Hacker, Niche Pursuits, Smart Passive Income, Adam Enfroy, Diggity Marketing	Real case studies with revenue numbers, tested tactics, tool comparisons
Affiliate networks & tools	Impact, Awin, ShareASale, ClickBank, Rakuten, Cloudways, Thrive Themes	Contributed education for their blog; how partners use the platform
Blogging & small-business	ProBlogger, Blogging Wizard, Blogging Tips, Startup Bonsai, Make a Living Writing	Practical guides, first-hand experience, monetisation breakdowns

What the metrics mean

Metric	What it is	How much it matters
Domain Rating (DR)	Ahrefs' 0 to 100 score for a whole site's backlink profile	A useful filter, not a verdict
Domain Authority (DA)	Moz's equivalent 0 to 100 score	Same idea as DR
Page Authority (PA)	Moz's score for one specific page	Matters once you know which page your post will live on
URL Rating (UR)	Ahrefs' score for one specific URL	Same purpose as PA
Monthly Traffic	Estimated organic visits per month	The most honest signal that a link will be seen

Here is the deal: affiliate marketing is one of the most link-spammed niches on the web, and Google knows it. A placement on a site with a real audience and case-study data is worth far more than a link on a made-for-links blog that has not posted since 2020.

The 100 sites

Domain Rating, Domain Authority, Page Authority, URL Rating and estimated monthly traffic. Every domain was checked live in September 2026; shut-down and made-for-links sites were replaced with active publications. Metrics are third-party estimates and shift over time.

The pitch that works

Lead with the numbers. "We took this site from $0 to $4,200/month in 11 months, here is the breakdown" earns the read.
Show the work. Screenshots of real dashboards, a traffic graph, a documented timeline. Editors reject claims they cannot verify.
Pitch the section. "For your case-study series" or "for the SEO tactics coverage" shows you read the blog.
Bring the assets. A spreadsheet, a step-by-step process, a spend-vs-return table.
Match the format. Marketing blogs want a data-led argument. Affiliate blogs want a full case study. Blogging sites want a practical how-to.
Disclose the affiliate relationship behind any tool or program you write about.

The test: would an editor run this if you had nothing to sell? If yes, pitch it. If it exists only to place a link, it goes in the bin.

What not to do

Buy links from "affiliate blogs" that quote a flat per-post price. That is the exact footprint Google penalises here.
Pitch a "what is affiliate marketing" explainer. Every site has ten.
Send a case study with no screenshots and no numbers.
Put exact-match anchors ("best affiliate program") on links back to your offer.
Use AI-generated "passive income" content with no real results behind it.

Bottom line: in affiliate marketing, one placement on a respected blog with a real income report or case study beats a dozen links from thin "make money online" sites. Use the traffic column and recent posting activity to find the real ones.

Frequently asked questions

Do sites like Backlinko or Ahrefs accept guest posts?

Not open guest posts. They commission from staff and known contributors and will take original research, a documented case study, or expert commentary. The affiliate and blogging blogs are where contributed writing runs.

What gets published?

A case study with real revenue and traffic numbers, a tested tactic with before-and-after data, a tool comparison based on genuine use, or a monetisation breakdown. "How to start affiliate marketing" explainers do not get past the desk.

Can I link to my site, course or affiliate program?

One disclosed link in the author bio at most, and only where the piece is genuine education. Editors strip promotional links and reject anything that reads like a sales page.

Is this a safe niche for link building?

The reputable blogs are fine. Large parts of the "make money online" space trade and sell links, run PBNs, and have been hit by Google updates. Use the traffic column and stick to sites with real editorial teams and real audiences.

The metrics do not match my SEO tool. Why?

Domain Rating and traffic estimates are recalculated constantly and differ between Ahrefs, Moz and Semrush. This niche churns fast and many older "affiliate blogs" are now parked or abandoned.

Want us to run the outreach?

We shortlist the affiliate and marketing blogs that carry weight, package your case-study data, write the pitches and place them. No link farms, no PBNs, no risk.
