I have been writing dart websites for over two decades. I have accepted advertising articles and guest posts on several for over a decade, but I will only work with professional marketers and businesses. If you do not fit the business criteria below, I will not work with you, and should you make a request, you are unlikely to receive a reply.
Outreach Marketers:
Please read the Business Details Requirement and Not Accepted before sending a request, as it may save you some time.
Business Details Requirement
You need to make your enquiry using a business email address attached to your business domain address.
The business domain MUST have been established for at least two years or more.
The business domain must have a live checkable website containing your address details.
Please also read the Advertsing Info & FAQ below the form, which covers article duration, do-follow, payment, and types of advertising, as this may answer your questions quickly.
If you do not fit the above, please do not enquire.
Not Accepted
Any marketer who uses a personal email address for business purposes will be automatically rejected, and you will not receive a reply. Examples: Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Mail, Outlook, Yahoo, BT, Sky, Live, etc.
Although some marketers use faceless, untraceable personal email addresses for business purposes, I no longer work with any. Personal emails are not part of a business; some who have previously contacted me have stated they represent a genuine, established business. Upon checking, I have established they don’t. Unfortunately, others have mudded the water for the few good marketers who still wish to use them. I advise requesting a professional email from the business you may represent or going professional.
Should you contact me directly without using the business contacts using a personal email, again, you will no longer receive a reply. Although many may see this as rude, it used to take me an hour a day to reply to those who ignored the information above. I am just saving you and myself time.
If you meet the above-accepted criteria, please complete all the information requested *

Advertising
I have tried to make advertising easier, and I hope that there is something here that will fit all budgets. I can offer page graphic links in the form of a pre-set header and footer banners: text links, and unique full-page article pages to all potential advertisers. There should be something here that will fit your requirements.
Header and Footer Banners
Page banners are becoming more popular with some marketers and are indeed popular on Darts501.com. As of July 2021, the page banner offer is changing. The homepage header/ navigation and footer banner links become one offering. As every marketer knows, the homepage always has a premium placement, and like internet searches, we cannot all be No.1. Therefore, I will now be offering individual page header and footer pages. So, if you are unfortunate not to secure the home page, you might be lucky enough to pick up one of the other popular pages, and there are many of them across this website.
Clients that purchase a placement will automatically have the first refusal to renew, and this can be done at any time while your advert is live.
Mobile Navigation
When the website is viewable on some tablets, and smartphones the top page navigation ribbon is reduced to a mobile icon activation menu. This makes navigation easier for small devices. The displayed header advert also disappears. However, it reappears at the base of the open mobile navigation list. So you could say it is relocated when viewed on tablets and smartphones. This gives the best impact on your logo banner
Article pages
The most common request is a complete article page with links to your website or client's website.
I can create an entirely new article page for you using your text. Articles should be at least 600 words, and there is no stipulation on the external links you may have.
Article posts have their unique page optimised to your spec, containing DO FOLLOW & DO INDEX meta code. Unless you specify differently, links are not marked sponsored unless you request this to be the case. The pages also have a unique meta description to explain your page and meta keywords to help direct page landing for search requests.
The article pages are linked via the website's news section, and once published, a NEW sitemap.xml is created and submitted to my server and Google for page indexing. In addition, a Google page inspection and request to the index are also made. A screenshot of this process is taken, showing that this process has been followed and supplied to you.
The article page remains on the website for 12 months from publication. You can renew this for a further 12 months at any time during its publication period. After the advertising term has finished, the article and link are removed from the website and server.
I DO NOT ACCEPT PERMANENT ARTICLE PAGES OR LINKS ON THIS WEBSITE.
You can supply support graphics or logos, or I will create graphics FOC to support your article.
Text Links
I accept text anchor links on most pages. However, you may not be the only external link on these pages. The exceptions are the homepage and paid article pages that other outreach marketers may have supplied. I do not add additional links to the marketer's supplied pages or the homepage.
Darts501.mobi is a stand-alone mobile website. The new Darts501.com supersedes the mobile site. However, the dedicated mobile version still has a loyal following of users and is now well-established. It is designed for smartphone use but works across tablets and PCs. Darts501.mobi contains a dart leg scorer and checkout sheets, a shortened version of nicknames and walk-ons, a dart checkout chart and a World Champions list. The Mini Darts501 is in your pocket!
Terms and Conditions
Outreach Marketing Media
I receive frequent emails about advertisements and article placement on this website. So, to help speed things along, I have listed a few FAQs and the things I accept and do not accept that hopefully should answer any questions you may have.
FAQ
Do I accept links to online gaming betting casino games? Yes, not an issue
Do I accept PPC or affiliated links? Sorry NO!
Do I accept pop-up adverts, push-up / push-down adverts or overlay adverts? Again, sorry No!
Do I accept permanent article posts? No, a post remains for 12 months. However, if your article is suitable, you can renew it for a further 12 months at any time during its publication period.
Do I accept PayPal for payments? Yes, that is the only way I now accept payments for this type of work.
Do I accept Bank Transfer (BACS) payments? Sorry, I no longer accept BACS payments for this type of work.
Can I write an article for you? Yes, if you are struggling to find a writer on the subject of this website, 'Darts,' I can write the article for you. I just require you to provide an anchor link/anchor link text you wish to be used within the article and the landing URL (web link).
When do I have to pay? For new clients, I request payment for their first placement before publication. For existing clients, payment is due within 48 hours of publication.
Do I write any other websites? Yes, many, primarily for clients. However, if you ask if I own any other darts websites that I allow articles or text links upon, the answer is yes. See below for more details.
IMPORTANT
Articles and links that I do not accept
An article that you supply can contain your links and graphics. The article should be a minimum of 600 words. The links on the page should not link to sexual, racist, abusive, CBD, Cryptocurrency, or religious nature. Links to online bookmakers, gaming, betting, slots, and casinos are okay.
The anchor link landing page should not be an automatic forwarding page. i.e., forward the person to another page that had not intended to visit. If the landing website is based in the UK or the European Union, the website should contain privacy statements and cookie information.
Please note that I no longer accept requests from new marketers using personal generic emails such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, SKY, BTetc. Unfortunately, I had too many issues with marketers using these email accounts.
Marketers who use personal emails and state they work for a business website will also be refused.
Professional marketers are welcome. Your email address must be held at a business domain and website. I.E. YOUR-NAME@YOUR-BUSINNESS-SITE.COM. Your business must be established for at least two years and open to allow for clear viewing of your business contact details.
Please note: All marketing enquiries will be checked. Should you use a template for your website that uses stock images to represent named staff, your request may be refused.
I am sorry for the genuine marketers who use personal email accounts. Unfortunately, others have muddied the water for you. If you wish to read more about why I have made this decision, please read my marketing statement.
I will not work with your business if you use portals to provide article posts. I will not sign up to receive your requests or to your terms and conditions of publication. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with some who changed their T&C after publication, so now all are refused.
General information pages, news articles and some external links
Responsible bookmakers sponsor most of the professional darts watched on TV and via the internet. The nature of the sport, including football, cricket, horse racing, F1, rugby, and other competitive sports, could not function without their sponsorship.
The author and some third-party writers write news articles on this website. Articles may contain external links to online casinos, betting, bookmakers, promotional betting affiliated codes or websites of a similar nature. These websites can be based in the UK or Worldwide and have no association with this website or the website owner.
I encourage anyone using the links for online gaming or betting to bet responsively. However, if you have a problem with gambling or need some help and you live in the UK, please visit one of the gambling awareness websites listed below for help:
