Advertising with The Market Oracle - Available Options

Last updated 1st Jan 2023

NOTE - 1st Jan 23 - Advertorials price increase by 10% from £39.99 to £43.99.

NOTE - The Market Oracle site will be upraded during 2021, all existing urls will still continue to work but be redirected from a sub folder i.e. /archive/, and eventually if possible be integrated into the sites new database. Rough timing for upgrade is around March / April 2021 (5th July - Site update remains pending).

LINKS - All links are DO FOLLOWs i.e. <a href=”http://www.google.com/”>Google</a>

Advertorial Articles - £43.99 - Available
All advertorial articles are posted as gold rated articles which means they will be visible from the home page for between 20 and 32 days and then most are likely continue for approx 1.5 years. Though do note that articles are only guaranteed for 8 months, i.e. if it is necessary to remove an article within the first 8 months of posting then you would receive a full refund. Presently 85% of advertorial articles continue to remain posted for over 1 year towards the 1.5 year mark.

So again the guarantee is for 8 months, with currently 85% continuing to over 1 year. Probability for removal depends on content and impact on the SEO of the site, i.e. gambling, essay writing, crypto, loans/debt, cannabis articles (including destination urls) will be deleted shortly after 8 months, unlike articles for instance on trading financial markets (including links). If you specifically require a minimum 1 year guarantee then this extra risk for a full refund within 1 year of posting requires an additional fee of £15 in respect of which your post will be guranteed for at least 1 year. Also whilst the guarantee is for 1 year, in practice 100% of these articles remain for at least 16 months. So basically the £15 is for an 8 month extension to articles some of which i.e. gambling / crypto WILL be deleted shortly after 8 months of posting.

Advertorial's with images may need to be resized to a max width of 800 pixels. Long length Informational graphics will be split into several continuous images.

Advertorial example - http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article55314.html

All advertorial's are posted under a user name, which is usually the person purchasing the advertorial, though you can choose an alternative posting name. The benefit of this if you can easily see the traffic to your articles. We discourage anonymous postings as these would not carry much credibility with readers, indexers, and syndicators.

Articles can be posted to the site at anytime and final copy should be up well within 24 hours of receipt. For orders of more than one advertorial postings will be staggered to no more than 1 per day, for instance an order for 4 advertorial's sent for immediate posting would be posted over 5 or 6 days.

Note: Advertorial's include an end disclaimer - This is an paid advertorial. This is a matter of opinion provided for general information purposes only and is not intended as investment advice. Information and analysis above are derived from sources and utilising methods believed to be reliable, but we cannot accept responsibility for any trading losses you may incur as a result of this analysis.

As many advertisers have asked to delay adding 'This is an paid advertorial.', so there is usually a delay of several weeks before adding this.

Basically the same thing as an advertorial.

Advertorial's Diamond Rated Articles £109 - available but subject to editorial control

Approx 1 in 30 articles posted to the market oracle site are diamond rated articles, representing our best most sought after and popular analysis articles that receive extra promotion, posted towards the top of the sites main page with their own icons, also form part of the featured articles archive and due to popularity tend to feature in our ongoing Top 10 list as well as picked up by many other sites as link back excerpts. The sky's the limit in terms of of extra exposure, i.e. some of the diamond articles I have written have been read by more 1/2 million people! Typically though a diamond rated article can expect to receive between 3 and 10 times reader interest than a typical gold rated article. But if the article hits the sweet spot in terms of title and content then its blast off!

Also note to maintain readership interest in diamond rated articles we would need to see whether an advertorial can be accepted as a diamond rated article for posting or not i.e. blatant advertorial sales pitches are not going to be accepted, but a reasoned argument with charts and graphs likely would be.

At the end of the day diamond rated articles should be viewed as an investment, the more you put into it the greater the return will be, a weak diamond article will illicit a weak response, a strong diamond article in terms of providing the reader with actionable information then the stronger will be reader response. So one needs to be intelligent when seeking to utilise the potential of diamond rated articles, as it could literally generate a return for some time.

And as for the standard advertorial, initial posting guarantee is are for a minimum of 7 months, though as of writing, 100% of diamond articles have remained on the site as permanent postings i.e. for at least 1.5 years.

Terms & Conditions

All adverts subject to editorial control i.e. for image copyright issues or potential for libel, check to make sure the article does not link to known scam sites and other legal issues. This is especially true for advertorial's. And are posted within the template structure of the site i.e. the site template applies across the board to ALL 60,000+ articles posted on the site.

Also images maybe resized to fit and compressed to reduce page load time, and normally should not exceed 100kb per image.

Postings are guaranteed for a minimum of 8 months, following which articles continue as part of Market Oracles permanent postings for upto 1.5 years. However as already indicated above articles after 8 months could be subject to removable due to any number of issues or factors. As a rough guide, currently 85% of advertorial articles remain posted to our site to the approx 1.5 year mark.

If you require certainty that posts remain for at least 1 year then a guarantee can be added for an extra £15, which in practice secures postings for at least 15 months.

Also note that the guarantees do NOT cover a site wide failure, which is a very, very low probability as the Market Oracle site has been constantly live for OVER 12 years now.

At the 1.5 year mark, advertorial articles are further evaluated for their long-term impact on the site at which point the content of approx 50% tends to be deleted. The remaining articles continue permanently unless an issue occurs that demands removal.

So in summary: Guarantee is for 8 months, 85% continue for over 1 year towards 1.5 years, after which approx half are deleted. Gambling, crypto, debt related articles (including urls) are most likely to be deleted after the 8 month mark.

Payment is by PayPal, for new advertisers we require payment in advance payment of postings. For return advertisers invoices are sent after posting so that the invoice contains the posted article link. Though if payments are not made promptly then payment will be required in advance of future return postings. Newsletters are ALWAYS paid in advance of SEND's and a send will not commence until full payment has been received.

The Market Oracle reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. In the event that any changes are made, the revised terms and conditions shall be posted on this page immediately. Please check the latest information posted herein to inform yourself of any changes.
