Partner with Akacen

Akacen is an independent publisher covering online business, money, security, software and independent work. If you run an affiliate or partner programme, this page tells you what working with us looks like.

Who reads us

People starting or running something small online, and readers handling their own money, privacy and devices. Most arrive from search and social, read on a phone, and are looking for a decision rather than entertainment. We do not publish audience numbers we cannot verify — we would rather show you real click data from our own pages.

Where we publish

• • Dedicated topic sections with a new guide published every day.
• • In-depth PDF guides readers open in the browser.
• • Product landing pages on their own domains.
• • YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok.

Placements available

• • In-guide recommendations, placed after the reader gets the answer.
• • A dedicated brand page with best-for and not-for guidance.
• • Category roundups and comparison tables.
• • Newsletter and PDF guide mentions.
• • Social walkthroughs where the product suits video.

How we handle links

Every partner link is disclosed above the first mention, opens in a new tab, is marked sponsored, carries a UTM tag so you can see Akacen in your own reporting, and runs through one central redirect so tracking links can be swapped the day a programme is approved. We count clicks per brand and per page and can share those numbers on request.

What we will not do

Sell rankings, run misleading claims, use fake urgency, bid on brand terms without permission, spam, or advertise where a programme does not allow it. Our editorial policy and review method are public.
