Collaboration between publishers is at Strossle’s heart. Our Accelerator platform allows publishers to promote their content in a network of hundreds of quality media sites, resulting in more engaged users and less need for traffic from Facebook or other mega platforms. But as with any collaboration, trust is crucial. Even though each publisher can decide exactly which peers they share traffic with, we want all affiliated publishers to live up to a number of defined standards.

Below you find our Publisher Approval Checklist, which we urge every Manager to use when they connect new Publishers to the Accelerator. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact your local Strossle representative.

There are three different types of partnerships that offers (with different quality demands):

  1. ACCELERATOR - Sites we accept as part of a content exchange network, a.k.a. "The Accelerator". Here we have the highest demands and they need to tick all the boxes below
  2. ADS - Sites where we can place ads. Here we need to make sure the context is good enough for our advertisers to be associated with.
  3. TRAFFIC SOURCE - Sites that can be allowed to send traffic INTO Visitor Accelerator (influencers etc)
