Sponsored Articles

Submit an article to generate more traffic to your website

An article on the Toddle About website can become a way to consistently send traffic to your own site, month after month, for years to come.

A sponsored article (AKA a sponsored post) can generate a short term spike in visitors to your site, but it is really for businesses who are looking to build their own website’s reputation and generate a steady flow of extra traffic to their site over the medium and long term.

How It Works

You write about a topic that interests your potential customers AND our website visitors. (Hint: they should be the same thing - i.e. parents with young children)
You make sure you include a link(s) to your own website in the body of the content and/or in the author’s note.
We publish the article on the Toddle About website – under one of our sections, such as ‘Parenting’ or ‘News’.
We promote the article across our social media platforms (over 15K followers) and in our regular ‘What’s On’ emails to subscribers.
Parents discover the article through various sources (e.g. Toddle About visitors, Social Media, Email, Google Searches).
Parents click on the links to your business’ website to find out more about the service you offer.

Why It Works Well
