What We Publish

Our blog serves professionals, founders, marketers, and decision-makers across Southeast Asia and beyond. We publish in-depth, actionable content that our readers can actually use, not fluff pieces rewritten from the first page of Google.

Topics we cover:

  • Digital Marketing Strategy - SEO, GEO, content marketing, paid media, conversion optimization
  • Artificial Intelligence - AI search, generative AI tools, prompt engineering, AI in business
  • Technology and Innovation - SaaS, martech, automation, digital transformation
  • Cryptocurrency and Blockchain - Web3 marketing, DeFi, tokenomics, crypto industry analysis
  • Finance and Investment - Fintech, venture capital, startup funding, financial markets
  • Public Relations - Media relations, crisis comms, brand reputation, thought leadership

Got a topic outside these categories? Pitch it anyway. If it provides genuine value to our audience and you make a compelling case, we are open to it.

Content Standards

We reject roughly 70% of submissions. Not to be difficult, but because our readers expect substance. Here is what gets published:

Writing Requirements

  • Minimum 2,000 words. Longer is fine if the depth justifies it. We have published pieces over 5,000 words
  • 100% original content. Never published elsewhere, not even on your own blog. We run every submission through plagiarism detection
  • Undetectable as AI-generated. We use multiple AI detection tools. If it reads like ChatGPT wrote it, we will reject it. You can use AI as a research tool, but the writing must be distinctly human
  • Proper structure. Clear H2 and H3 headings, short paragraphs, logical flow. No walls of text
  • Data-driven. Back up claims with data, statistics, or credible sources. Link to original research where possible
  • Professional tone. Authoritative but accessible. Think Harvard Business Review meets TechCrunch, not academic paper meets Wikipedia

Media Requirements

  • Minimum 3 unique images per article (custom graphics, charts, screenshots, or infographics)
  • Embedded media encouraged - YouTube videos, TikTok, Instagram Reels, or X posts that support your argument
  • Featured image: Created in-house by our design team for visual consistency. This takes up to 3 working days after your article is approved

Backlink Policy

  • Maximum 2 backlinks per article (dofollow)
  • Links must be contextually relevant to the content. Forced or unrelated links will be removed during review
  • No sponsored tag. We do not apply rel="sponsored" to guest post backlinks. All qualifying backlinks are published as standard dofollow links, permanent and without sponsored attribution.
  • No links to gambling, CBD, adult content, payday loans, or any site that violates our editorial standards
  • All links undergo editorial review. We reserve the right to remove or nofollow any link that does not meet our quality bar

Disclosure: All guest contributions are published with a "Guest Post" label for editorial transparency. This is standard practice for high-authority publications and does not diminish the SEO value of your backlinks.

Pricing

Important: All guest posts and link insertions are published on blog.arfadia.com (our editorial blog), not on the main corporate website www.arfadia.com. The blog is where all articles, thought leadership content, and guest contributions are hosted. Both domains share the same domain authority.

As a DR 60+ publication with a rigorous editorial process, dedicated design team, and established readership, we charge a publication fee to maintain content quality and cover production costs.

Link Insertion
$75 USD / link
Add a dofollow backlink to an existing high-traffic article
  • 1 dofollow backlink per order
  • Placed in contextually relevant article
  • Natural anchor text integration
  • Permanent placement
  • Inserted within 1 working day

Payment: Via PayPal, bank transfer (BCA/Mandiri for Indonesian clients), or Wise for international transfers. Payment is required before publication.

Content Exchange Program

We offer a reciprocal guest posting arrangement for established websites with comparable domain authority. This program is designed for long-term editorial partnerships, not one-off link swaps.

Eligibility

  • Domain Rating 50+ (Ahrefs) or Domain Authority 50+ (Moz)
  • Active blog with regular publishing schedule (minimum 2 posts per month)
  • Real organic traffic, not PBN or redirect domains
  • Content must be in English or Bahasa Indonesia
  • Your site must accept a reciprocal guest post from Arfadia of equal quality

How It Works

Both parties write and publish a guest post on each other's blog. Same content standards apply on both sides. No money changes hands. Both parties benefit from a high-quality dofollow backlink on a relevant, authoritative domain.

Note: We review every exchange request manually. Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance. We prioritize sites with genuine editorial value and audience relevance over raw DA/DR numbers.

What We Do Not Accept

To save everyone's time, here is what will be rejected immediately:

  • Content related to gambling, casinos, CBD, adult entertainment, payday loans, or weapons
  • Thinly disguised advertisements or promotional pieces with no editorial value
  • Spun, scraped, or AI-generated content passed off as original writing
  • Articles previously published on other websites (even partially)
  • Content that plagiarizes or closely paraphrases existing published work
  • Link schemes, PBN requests, or bulk link buying inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit topics outside your listed categories?

Possibly. We are flexible if the topic genuinely serves our audience. Send us your pitch with a brief explanation of why it fits. Worst case, we say no and suggest a better angle.

Are the backlinks dofollow?

Yes. Both guest post and link insertion backlinks are dofollow. We do not charge for dofollow and then quietly switch to nofollow. That said, we reserve the right to nofollow or remove links that point to low-quality or penalized domains.

Are the backlinks tagged as sponsored?

No. We do not use rel="sponsored" on any guest post or link insertion backlinks. Links are published as clean dofollow without sponsored tag. We believe transparency comes from our editorial disclosure ("Guest Post" label), not from penalizing the link value of contributors who went through a legitimate review process.

Do I provide the images?

You provide at least 3 supporting images within the article body (charts, screenshots, infographics). The featured/banner image is created by our in-house design team at no extra cost. This takes up to 3 working days because we do not use stock templates.

Is the placement permanent?

Yes. We do not remove published articles unless they violate our terms (for example, if we later discover plagiarism or the linked site becomes spammy). In that case, we remove the offending links but the article stays.

Can I see an example of a published guest post?

Sure. Browse blog.arfadia.com to see the quality and format we maintain. Guest posts are labeled accordingly.

What if my article gets rejected after payment?

If we reject your article before publication, you receive a full refund via the original payment method. If the article is published and you later request removal, no refund is issued.

How does the content exchange work exactly?

Both sides write a guest post for the other's blog. You write one for blog.arfadia.com, we write one for your site. Same quality standards apply in both directions. No payment involved. We typically complete our side within 5-7 working days.
