Pressmark · For publishers
Get found by sponsored content buyers. Keep the whole fee.
Pressmark is the open register of sponsored placements: a free-to-browse directory where agencies and brands find sites like yours, see honest indicative pricing, and contact you directly. No marketplace sits in the middle, and no one takes a cut of your placement.
Why we're different
Marketplaces hide your identity so buyers can't reach you without paying them. Sold spreadsheets list you without your knowledge and go stale. Pressmark does the opposite: your entry is public, carries your pricing and guidelines, shows a "last checked" date, and states whether the data is publisher-confirmed. You control it, and you can remove it at any time.
What claiming gets you
- Your data, corrected and current: pricing, guidelines, turnaround, and a one-line pitch, marked publisher-confirmed.
- Buyer briefs by email: when buyers post a brief in your category, claimed publishers are the only ones who receive it.
- Analytics: how often you appear in searches, profile views, and contact clicks, so you can see the channel working before you ever pay for anything.
Straight answers
Is it really free? Yes: claiming is free forever, and claimed
publishers receive full buyer briefs. Optional paid promotion (the Pro toolkit and
Featured category slots) launches only once the register is sending publishers
meaningful traffic, and early claimants hear first. There is no obligation and no card on
file.
What about SEO? Every outbound link on Pressmark is nofollow,
permanently, and paid-placement links are additionally marked sponsored. We send you
buyers, not link equity, and that policy is what keeps the register safe to be listed
on.
We're new too. Pressmark is a young register being built openly. What we
publish is what's true: verification dates, data provenance, and a public methodology.
Founding publishers get the longest head start on the analytics and the briefs.
