About Giobel Koi Center

Giobel Koi Center covers koi fish keeping, koi pond design and maintenance, aquarium care, and aquatic lifestyle for hobbyists and collectors. Guest content is welcome where it adds genuine value for that audience.

Topics We Accept

Core topics only: koi fish keeping and breeding, koi pond design/construction/maintenance, aquarium and fish tank care, fish health, koi art, and directly related aquatic-lifestyle content. We no longer accept posts from unrelated niches, regardless of how the article is framed or blended — see below for why.

What We Do Not Accept

✗ We do not accept
  • Content outside koi, ponds, aquariums, and aquatic lifestyle — including home and garden, wellness, pets (non-fish), business, education, and travel content, even if adapted to reference koi or ponds
  • Casino or gambling content
  • CBD, cannabis, or kratom content
  • Cryptocurrency investment or trading content
  • Essay writing, academic, or “do my homework” services
  • Adult content
  • Any article whose primary purpose is placing a link rather than informing our readers

This is the part that matters most, so it’s stated plainly:

  • All backlinks in guest posts are tagged rel=”sponsored”. This is non-negotiable and applies regardless of payment. We do not sell or place do-follow links.
  • Maximum 2 links per article, placed naturally where they add real value for the reader.
  • Every published guest post carries a visible “Sponsored/Guest Content” disclosure at the top of the article, identifying it as a sponsored contribution and naming the author.
  • Affiliate links require prior approval and are also tagged rel=”sponsored”.

Content Requirements

  • Minimum 800 words of original, non-AI-generated or substantially human-edited content
  • Must not duplicate content published elsewhere
  • Author bio and byline required — no anonymous or unattributed submissions
  • Maximum 2 links, tagged rel=”sponsored”, placed naturally where they add value for the reader — not forced into unrelated sentences
  • Subject to editorial review; we may request revisions or decline any submission that doesn’t meet these standards

Publishing Fee

We charge a flat editorial and publishing fee to cover review, formatting, and hosting — this fee is for the editorial service, not for link placement. Payment is required upfront via PayPal to gbagayas@gmail.com before review or publication.

Koi, pond, and aquatic lifestyle guest posts: flat editorial fee, disclosed and rel=”sponsored” tagged per the policy above.

  2. Once the topic is approved, send payment via PayPal to gbagayas@gmail.com.
  3. Send your completed article (minimum 800 words) with images and an author bio.
  4. We review and publish within 3–5 business days, with the required sponsored-content disclosure and rel=”sponsored” links applied.
