How to Get Published on StreetInsider.com in 2026
By Qamar Shahzad, Founder of GP Publisher
StreetInsider.com is a US markets news service that publishes a continuously updating headline feed on listed equities, from large caps down to OTC and recently uplisted micro caps, read by investors, analysts, traders, and business decision-makers actively tracking company news. Unlike the guest posting placements I usually write about, StreetInsider only accepts one format, press releases, and the link that comes with it is no-follow. I want to be upfront about that before anything else, because I think most of the industry buries it, and it changes what this placement is actually good for.
I run this exact placement in my own network, so this isn’t a theoretical breakdown. I’m going to tell you what StreetInsider actually is, why the no-follow link still has real value, what gets a submission rejected, and what it genuinely costs.

Who Actually Needs a Street Insider Placement?
This isn’t a general-purpose brand awareness placement, and I’d rather tell you that upfront than sell you something that doesn’t fit. In my experience, StreetInsider genuinely helps in a specific set of situations:
Publicly listed or soon-to-be-listed companies. A regulatory milestone, an earnings-adjacent announcement, or a material business update travels further on a domain investors already check for exactly this kind of news.
Companies announcing a funding round or financing news. StreetInsider’s core readership is people who track capital markets activity, which makes it a genuinely relevant placement for this specific announcement type, not just a high-DA link.
Fintech, trading, and markets-adjacent brands. The audience overlap here is real. A product built for traders or investors gets placed in front of exactly that audience.
Brands prioritizing AI-search visibility on financial topics. Established financial news sources like StreetInsider get pulled into ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews when those tools answer questions in the finance and markets space, which is a genuinely growing reason to care about this kind of placement beyond the link itself.
If your news isn’t genuinely finance- or markets-relevant, I’d tell you honestly that this isn’t the right placement, and I’d point you toward a general news or niche-relevant outlet instead. That’s the same standard I apply across every niche guest posting list I’ve built this year.
Why the Link Is No-Follow, and Why That’s Not the Whole Story
I’ll say this plainly: if you’re buying a StreetInsider placement purely for a do-follow backlink, you’re buying the wrong thing, and anyone who tells you otherwise is misrepresenting the product. The link is no-follow. That’s StreetInsider’s standing policy, and it applies to press release placements consistently.
But a no-follow link isn’t the same as no value, and I think treating them as equivalent is a mistake I see a lot of buyers make. Three things a StreetInsider placement gets you regardless of link type:
Google News indexing. Articles published on StreetInsider get indexed by Google News, which puts your announcement in front of people actively searching for company and markets news, independent of any link equity.
AI answer engine visibility. As I’ve written about in my Forbes publishing breakdown, earned media on established, high-trust domains carries disproportionate weight in what AI tools cite. StreetInsider’s standing as a recognized financial news source makes it a genuine candidate for that kind of citation on finance-related queries.
A permanent, credible archive entry. The article stays live in StreetInsider’s archives rather than disappearing after a news cycle, which matters if the placement is functioning as a citable reference for investors, partners, or due diligence rather than a traffic play.
If what you actually need is link equity for SEO, I’d point you toward a do-follow guest post placement instead, and I’ve broken down that tradeoff in detail in link insertion vs. guest post. StreetInsider is the right tool for brand credibility and financial-audience reach, not for moving a keyword ranking.
What Gets a Submission Rejected
Because StreetInsider operates as a financial news outlet, not a general blog, its editorial standards include real compliance-adjacent red lines that I think are worth explaining rather than discovering after a rejection:
Misdescribed regulatory or legal status. Presenting an application as an approval, a filing acceptance as a final decision, or a memorandum of understanding as a binding contract is a common rejection reason.
Investment advice language. Calling a security undervalued, projecting a share price, or anything that reads as a recommendation rather than a factual update doesn’t fit the editorial standard here.
Unverifiable superlatives. Claims like “industry-leading” or “revolutionary” with no named third-party source tend to get flagged.
Implied endorsement. Language suggesting a regulator, partner, or publisher endorsed the company, when that’s not accurate, is a hard line.
Missing or unusable figures and contact details. Incomplete submissions generate back-and-forth that slows everything down.
None of this is unique to working with me. It’s StreetInsider’s own standard, and I’d rather you know it going in so your first draft has a real shot at getting approved rather than bouncing back for revisions.
Real Pricing and Metrics
I want to be transparent about something here: third-party traffic and authority estimates for StreetInsider vary enormously depending on the tool. I’ve seen figures ranging from roughly 160,000 monthly visits on one analytics platform up to figures north of 3 million on others, and Domain Authority estimates I’ve seen quoted anywhere from the low 70s to the high 80s. That spread isn’t unusual for a site with this much syndicated and aggregated traffic, but I’d be doing you a disservice if I quoted one number as if it were settled fact.
In our own network, the current listing for StreetInsider.com runs DA 83, DR 80, with roughly 256,000 monthly traffic tracked, priced at $65 per placement, no-follow, with a typical 1- to 2-business-day turnaround once content is approved. That’s meaningfully below what I’ve seen quoted elsewhere in the market, where similar placements are sold anywhere from $36 up to several hundred dollars depending on what’s bundled in (content writing, editorial pitching, guaranteed live confirmation). If you want the full picture on how guest post and press release pricing actually breaks down across the industry, I covered it in how much a guest post costs in 2026.
How to Get Published Through GP Publisher
- Confirm StreetInsider is actually the right fit using the criteria above, rather than buying it because of the name recognition alone.
- Send me your announcement or angle, ideally with the factual details already confirmed (funding amount, regulatory status, dates), since incomplete submissions are the most common cause of delay.
- I’ll flag anything that’s likely to get rejected under StreetInsider’s editorial standards before it goes to submission, not after.
- Once approved, the article goes live, typically within 1 to 2 business days, with a permanent archive URL you can share and cite.
FAQ
Does StreetInsider.com accept guest posts? Not in the traditional sense. StreetInsider accepts press releases specifically written to its editorial standard, rather than general opinion or how-to guest content.
Is the link from a StreetInsider placement dofollow or nofollow? No-follow. This is StreetInsider’s standing policy for this content type, not something that varies by vendor or negotiation.
Is a no-follow placement on StreetInsider still worth it? Yes, for the right goal. It’s not the right choice if you’re purely chasing link equity for SEO, but it’s genuinely valuable for Google News visibility, AI answer engine citation on finance topics, and reaching an investor- and market-focused audience.
What kind of news does StreetInsider accept? Company news relevant to investors and markets: funding rounds, regulatory milestones, financial results, and similar factual business updates. It’s not a fit for general brand storytelling or product announcements without a genuine market angle.
Why do StreetInsider submissions get rejected? Most rejections come from misdescribed regulatory or legal status, investment-advice-style language, unverifiable superlative claims, implied third-party endorsement, or incomplete factual details. These are StreetInsider’s own editorial standards, not vendor-specific rules.
How much does a StreetInsider placement cost? In our network, $65 per placement. Pricing elsewhere in the market varies widely, from around $36 up to several hundred dollars, depending on what’s bundled in, such as content writing or guaranteed placement confirmation.
Conclusion
StreetInsider is a genuinely useful placement for the right announcement: funding news, regulatory milestones, and markets-relevant company updates aimed at an audience that’s actually reading for that reason. It’s the wrong placement if what you’re really after is a do-follow SEO link, and I’d rather tell you that directly than sell you something that won’t do what you’re expecting.
If you’ve got an announcement that fits and want it reviewed against StreetInsider’s editorial standard before submission, message me directly.
