Three ways to appear on ZaminoToys

How guest articles are labelled and linked

Every guest article is labelled "Guest article by [name], [organisation]" at the top. Links to the author or brand may be followed (dofollow), but only when the article matches our subject rule and the author has met the reciprocal link requirement below. A link in a sponsored feature, or in any article where money, a product or another benefit has been exchanged for coverage, is always tagged rel="sponsored". We may change a followed link to nofollow if the article is edited so that it no longer fits our subject, if the link stops pointing to a relevant page, or if the reciprocal link is removed. Guest articles are free to submit, and we do not charge to publish them. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how we handle commercial relationships.

Reciprocal link requirement

Because we offer followed links, we ask the same in return. The guest author or brand must place a followed (dofollow) link to the ZaminoToys homepage, https://zaminotoys.in, inside one of their own published articles. That article must be about a topic relevant to our subject: toys, early books, sensory play or home play for ages 0 to 4. The link must sit naturally in the body of that article, not in a footer, sidebar or list of links. Please send us the web address of that article when you submit your pitch. We check that the link is live and followed before we publish your links as followed.

What you get

• Your name, role and a followed link to your brand in the author box
• One relevant followed link inside the article, where it genuinely helps the reader
• A clear "Guest article by" label so readers know who wrote it
• Honest editing for accuracy, safety and subject fit
• A link to your published article that you may share anywhere

What we do not do

• We do not charge for guest articles or Maker Spotlights. They are free.
• We do not promise rankings, traffic or sales.
• We do not write a positive review in return for payment or free products.
• We do not hide sponsored content. It is always labelled.
• We do not publish an article that fails our subject rule, even if the link requirement is met.

Article requirements

• Between 600 and 1,200 words, original, and written for ZaminoToys only
• Written in English, in plain language, in a clear and honest tone
• Within the subject rule: toys, early books, sensory play and home play for ages 0 to 4
• Any age range, safety information or developmental statement must be accurate. If you refer to child development, name a public source such as the CDC or WHO
• Your own photos or photos you have the right to use. No photos of identifiable children
• No exaggerated claims, no medical promises, no false expert claims
• Disclose any product you make or sell, and say honestly if you are recommending your own product
• For apps: state the age range, price, any in-app purchases or ads, and what data the app collects. Describe what the app does, not what it will do for a child. No claims
• The reciprocal link described above
