Blog advertising: how to advertise on blogs
Pick the post, not just the blog.
Facts checked 11 Oct 2026 · by the AdSworn team
Blog advertising means paying a blog to show your ad or recommend you to its readers: a banner on a post, a sponsored post inside an article, or a link on a video. The best results come from choosing individual posts found by the searches your buyers make, not whole blogs. Check each post's real traffic and searches, pay a fixed price, make sure it's labelled, and track the link.
The formats
| Format | What readers see | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Banner | Your headline, a line and a logo near the top of the post | Being seen by every visitor |
| Sponsored post | The blog recommending you inside the article, in its own voice | Explaining why you're worth trying |
| Video description link | Your line and link at the top of a video's description | Tutorial audiences |
Pick posts by their searches
A blog's total traffic tells you little. One post may be read by people choosing a tool; another by people looking up trivia. The Google searches that bring each post's readers tell you which is which. Buy the posts found by buying searches like "best", "vs", "pricing" or "alternative". See buying intent keywords.
