How to Get Featured in Dazed Middle East
Dazed Middle East draws about 42,000 monthly visits, takes two to three weeks, and marks links nofollow.
The name carries a specific meaning
Dazed is not a general fashion magazine. Since the early nineties it has been the title a particular creative audience reads: art, fashion, music, youth culture, with a bias toward the experimental.
The Middle East edition puts that name in front of that audience in the Gulf, commissioning regionally. For a designer, an artist or a youth brand in the region, it is a sharper fit than a general lifestyle title, because being in Dazed says something about the kind of work you make rather than just that you exist.
The traffic is modest and a domain authority of 29 is low. This is a signal placement, not a reach or SEO one, and that is the honest way to buy it.
The routes in
Designers and artists working in the region.
Music and youth culture.
Fashion with a creative rather than commercial angle.
A placed feature, written and approved by you before it runs.
Two to three weeks
Slow, as the region's licensed editions tend to be.
Links and indexing
Nofollow, and a low domain authority behind it. Nothing useful passes.
It indexes and AI engines read it.
What gets turned down
Commercial fashion with no creative position.
Corporate framing.
Work that could appear anywhere, since the title's selectivity is the thing you are buying.
Who it suits
Designers and creative studios in the Gulf. Artists and musicians. Streetwear and youth brands. Anyone whose audience is creative and regional, and who understands they are buying a signal rather than numbers.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in Dazed Middle East?
Three routes: pitch an editor directly, be quoted as an expert in a piece they are already writing, or use a placement service. We write the article, you approve every word before it runs, and we secure the placement. Dazed Middle East draws about 41,778 monthly visits and publishes in two to three weeks.
02How long does it take to get published in Dazed Middle East?
About two to three weeks from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window, so a draft waiting on you is not a draft in production.
03Does Dazed Middle East give a do-follow link?
Dazed Middle East marks its outbound links nofollow. No ranking authority passes, so it is bought for the audience and the name rather than for SEO. It is still indexed and still read by AI engines, which cite by content rather than by link attribute.
04Why place in Dazed Middle East when the numbers are small?
Because the name says something specific. Dazed has been the title a particular creative audience reads since the early nineties, so being in it signals the kind of work you make rather than simply that you exist. For a designer or artist in the Gulf that signal is the product. If you need reach or a link, buy something else.
