Topics that fit this domain

The old site was a custom-cut stainless counter. Pitches should stay inside that fence: alloy selection, finishes, folding and shearing, hygiene detailing, coastal tea staining, balustrade practice. Read the stainless steel topic hubs before you write.

How to pitch

Use the contact the editorial desk form. Choose “Guest post pitch.” Send three headline ideas, two sentences of proof for each, two published samples, and any commercial tie. Do not attach a finished draft. We will not open a Google Doc that already contains your homepage anchor.

Links policy

Guest and paid links are qualified. In HTML that looks like this: example sponsored placement. Author bios get one site or profile link, also rel="sponsored". We may add, change or strip a link at any time. Keyword-stuffed anchors are rewritten into descriptive text, in line with Google’s crawlable-links guidance.

What we will not run

Casino, crypto, CBD, payday, essay-mill or generic “what is SEO” copy. Recycled posts. AI drafts that nobody on a shop floor would sign. Live price tables. Anything that pretends we are the Alltrade merchant. The editorial standards are the rest of the house rules.

We do not charge to publish a contributor essay and we do not pay for one. A labelled sponsored feature is a separate product, still marked rel="sponsored", still subject to fact-check.

Questions people ask

Do you sell dofollow links?

No. Anyone offering a dofollow insertion on this domain is not us. Tell the desk through the contact form.

Will my company link be followed?

Author bio links and any approved company mention in a guest essay carry rel="sponsored". That is how we qualify paid or guest links for Google.
