AdSworn vs Collaborator
A large guest-post marketplace, and a page-by-page sponsorship market. Here's what each actually charges and shows.
Facts checked 29 Sep 2026 · by the AdSworn team
Collaborator is a digital PR marketplace for guest posts and Telegram ads: it charges a 10% commission on deposits and 15% on withdrawals, shows six months of general Google Analytics traffic for GA4-confirmed sites and Similarweb estimates for the rest, and lets publishers choose dofollow, nofollow or sponsored links. AdSworn charges advertisers nothing on top, takes 15% from the publisher only on a sale, shows each page's Google traffic and searches, and marks every paid link rel="sponsored".

Credit where it's due
Collaborator goes further than most guest-post marketplaces on proof: its homepage highlights 8,500+ websites with real Google Analytics data and 7,000+ verified via Google Search Console. For sites confirmed through GA4, advertisers see general traffic statistics for the past six months; for other sites, the traffic comes from Similarweb.
AdSworn goes one level deeper: page by page. Every listed page shows its own traffic and the searches that bring people to it, read from Google with the date, so you're choosing a page by who reads it, not a site by its total.

Links and labels
On Collaborator, publishers choose whether a link is dofollow, nofollow or sponsored, and after publication it's forbidden to change the link type or add a sponsored tag unless the customer asks. Google's spam policies say paid links should be marked rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". On AdSworn that isn't a choice: every ad is labelled, and every paid link is marked sponsored.
