Contributor Guidelines

Backlink Exchange Contributions

At The Experiment by dropt.beer, we believe links should be earned through value, not traded through shortcuts.
That said — we’re open to ethical backlink collaborations when they are mutually relevant, transparent, and genuinely useful to readers.

If you’re interested in contributing content in exchange for a backlink, read this carefully.


Who This Is For

This page is for contributors who:

  • Own or manage a relevant website, blog, or platform
  • Are willing to add a contextual backlink to dropt.beer from their site
  • Want to collaborate through real content, not link schemes
  • Respect editorial standards and long-term brand value

If you’re looking for mass link swaps, PBN placements, or low-effort SEO wins — this is not a fit.


Our Backlink Collaboration Model

We accept content contributions with backlink exchange under these conditions:

  • You publish a contextual, do-follow backlink to dropt.beer
  • The link must be:
    • On an indexed, live page
    • Contextually relevant (not footer/sidebar)
    • Placed naturally within editorial content
  • Your site must have:
    • Original content
    • Real readership
    • No spam, adult, illegal, or deceptive material

What You Can Submit

Your contribution must fit The Experiment ecosystem.

Accepted Content Types

  • Long-form articles (minimum 1,000 words for backlink exchanges)
  • Thought leadership essays
  • Case studies or real-world experiments
  • Craft, culture, or heritage stories
  • AI, business, marketing, fashion inspired, food and travel or any creative insights
  • Industry perspectives with original thinking

Content must stand on its own, even without links.


Backlink Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

If your submission is accepted:

  1. You must add one do-follow backlink to dropt.beer on your website
  2. The link must:
    • Be published within 7 days of our article going live
    • Remain live for at least 12 months
    • Not be tagged as sponsored, UGC, or nofollow
  3. The page linking to us must be:
    • Publicly accessible
    • Not blocked by robots.txt or noindex

If the backlink is removed later, we reserve the right to:

  • Remove your article
  • Or convert outbound links in your article to no-follow

Fair exchange. No surprises.


What We Do NOT Accept

  • Generic SEO content written for links
  • AI-generated or spun articles
  • Excessive keyword targeting
  • Irrelevant backlinks or anchor text manipulation
  • PBNs, link farms, or network sites
  • Casino, adult, crypto spam, or illegal niches
  • “Guest post lists” or mass outreach pitches

If your pitch feels like copy-paste outreach, it will be ignored.


Editorial Standards

Even for backlink exchanges, we maintain quality:

  • 100% original content
  • Clear structure and logical flow
  • Human voice and insight
  • Accurate information
  • Limited outbound links (quality over quantity)

We edit for clarity — not for SEO hacks.


Author Bio & Links

  • You may include:
    • One branded link in the author bio
    • One contextual link within the article (if relevant)
  • Exact-match anchors are discouraged
  • Promotional language will be removed

  1. Your article idea or full draft
  2. Your website URL (where you’ll link to dropt.beer)
  3. The exact page URL where our backlink will be placed
  4. A short author bio (2–3 lines)
