How to Get Featured in XDA
XDA draws about 8 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 84, and publishes in about a week.
Readers who take things apart
XDA began as a forum for people modifying Android devices and grew into one of the largest consumer technology sites online. The audience is still recognisably that: people who root phones, flash custom firmware, build their own machines and read specifications before they buy.
That changes what works. A general consumer tech site rewards a product that sounds good. This audience checks. For hardware, accessories and developer-facing software, the reader is unusually well qualified and unusually sceptical.
The routes in
Hardware and accessories, reviewed in detail.
Android and mobile software, its original subject.
Developer tools and technical how-to content.
PC building and components.
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
About a week. About average. Plan for the top of the range rather than the bottom, and remember your own approval sits inside the window rather than after it.
Links and indexing
Nofollow. No ranking authority passes, which is normal at a domain rating of 84. Buy it for the audience and the name, not for your rankings.
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 whose specifications do not stand up, because the readership checks them.
Non-technical consumer products with no enthusiast angle.
Claims about performance without numbers.
Who it suits
Hardware and accessory brands. Android and mobile software companies. Developer tools. PC components. Anyone selling to a technically confident consumer rather than a casual one.
The short version
8 million monthly visits, domain rating 84, nofollow, about a week. A large audience that reads specifications, which rewards a good product and punishes a thin one.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in XDA?
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. XDA draws about 8 million monthly visits and publishes in about a week.
02How long does it take to get published in XDA?
About about a week from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window rather than after it.
03Does XDA give a do-follow link?
XDA marks its outbound links nofollow, so no ranking authority passes. It is bought for the audience and the name. It is still indexed and still read by AI engines, which cite by content rather than by link attribute.
04What kind of products does XDA cover?
Hardware, accessories, Android and mobile software, developer tools and PC components. The readership is technically confident, so products are assessed on specification rather than on positioning. A non-technical consumer product with no enthusiast angle is a poor fit.
