How to Get Featured in PCWorld
PCWorld draws about 2.1 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 88, passes a do-follow link, and publishes in three to five days.
Old, authoritative and unusually fast
PCWorld has published since 1983, which is where a domain rating of 88 on 2.1 million monthly visits comes from: four decades of being cited. It passes a do-follow link, and it publishes in three to five days, which is fast for a title with that much editorial process behind it.
The subject is personal computing in the practical sense: hardware, components, Windows, security software, peripherals and the buying decisions around them.
The routes in
Hardware and components, reviewed on specification.
Windows software and utilities.
Security and privacy products for consumers and small business.
Buying guides, which the site runs continuously.
A placed feature, written and approved by you before it runs. That is what we handle, and it is a different product from an editor there choosing to write about you.
How long it takes
Three to five days. Fast, against a market average closer to two weeks. Fast enough to sit alongside a launch rather than trailing it.
Your own approval still sits inside that window. A draft waiting on you is not a draft in production.
Links and indexing
Do-follow, at a domain rating of 88. That is uncommon at this size: across our catalogue the larger a publication is, the less likely it is to pass authority, which is the whole finding in which publications give do-follow links.
It indexes and AI engines read it, so the piece works as a citation when someone asks an assistant about you, not only as a link.
What gets turned down
Products outside personal computing.
Specifications that do not hold up to a reader who builds machines.
Anything enterprise-only, since the audience buys for itself or for a small business.
Who it suits
PC hardware and component brands. Windows software companies. Consumer and SMB security vendors. Peripheral and accessory makers. Anyone who wants high authority, a do-follow link and publication inside a week.
The short version
2.1 million monthly visits, domain rating 88, do-follow, three to five days. Four decades of authority and a turnaround most titles that old cannot match.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in PCWorld?
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, and we secure the placement. PCWorld draws about 2.1 million monthly visits and publishes in three to five days.
02How long does it take to get published in PCWorld?
About three to five days from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window rather than after it.
03Does PCWorld give a do-follow link?
PCWorld passes a do-follow link, at a domain rating of 88. That is unusual at this size, because the larger a publication is the less likely it is to pass authority.
04Is PCWorld suitable for an enterprise product?
Rarely. Its readers buy for themselves or for a small business, so the useful pitches are hardware, components, Windows software, consumer security and peripherals. An enterprise-only product with no individual or small-business buyer is the wrong fit regardless of how strong the link is.
