Gaming Guest Post Sites

What to look for

Check platform and genre coverage. A site focused on PC strategy has little in common with one covering console sports titles, and gaming audiences are attached to both platform and genre.

Look at the sample posts for tone. Gaming publications vary from straight news to heavily personality-driven writing, and a piece that does not match the house voice stands out in a way readers notice.

Platform and genre relevance

Gaming subdivides more finely than almost any other topic. Platform, genre, and audience age all segment the readership, and a placement that ignores those divisions reaches a large number of people who do not play what you are writing about.

Where the audience is right, the engagement is unusually high — gaming readers spend longer on a page and are more likely to follow a link than most audiences on the marketplace. Getting the fit right is worth more here than buying more reach.

Common questions

Does my content need to match the platform the site covers?

It matters more than most buyers expect. Gaming audiences are attached to specific platforms and genres, and a PC-focused readership has limited interest in console coverage. The listing describes what each publisher covers.

Why do some gaming sites cost more than higher-traffic ones?

Because engagement, not traffic, is what publishers price on here. A site with an active community charges more than a larger site whose readers arrive from search and leave, and it is usually the better placement.

Do gaming audiences react badly to sponsored content?

They notice it quickly. Content that reads as promotional performs poorly and is more likely to be sent back for revision. Pieces that genuinely inform, and match the site’s tone, do considerably better.
