✉️ Send Your Pitch — mohmmadaseef@gmail.comWhy Write for thenewdelhi.in?
thenewdelhi.in is one of the few Delhi-specific websites that focuses entirely on the city — its metro, localities, heritage, food and daily life. We don't cover India generically; every page on this site is about Delhi. That means your guest post reaches readers who are specifically searching for Delhi content — not accidental traffic from broad India travel queries.
Our Travel & Tourism section covers everything from the Red Fort and Akshardham Temple to the smallest baoli in Mehrauli. Our Delhi Metro guides and locality pages are used daily by Delhiites navigating their own city. A guest post here doesn't get buried — it becomes part of a growing, well-linked reference guide about the world's most fascinating capital city.
Who Should Write for Us?
We welcome contributions from anyone with real, specific knowledge of Delhi. You don't need to be a professional writer or journalist. If you're a local who knows every shortcut between Chandni Chowk and Kashmere Gate, a student who's been to every DU college canteen, a food blogger who's eaten their way through Karol Bagh, or a metro commuter who knows every exit of every station on the Pink Line — we want to hear from you. What matters is genuine, useful, Delhi-specific knowledge.
Content Quality Standards We Uphold
Every article on thenewdelhi.in is reviewed before publication. We check for accuracy (especially timings, entry fees and metro directions — these change), originality (plagiarism tools + AI detection), and usefulness (would a visitor or local actually benefit from reading this?). We may ask you to make revisions — this is normal and helps your article perform better in search. We never publish content just to fill pages. Every guide we publish is meant to be the best available resource on that specific Delhi topic.
How Long Does the Review Process Take?
We respond to all pitches within 48 hours. Once your pitch is approved and you submit the full article, editorial review takes 48–72 hours. If revisions are needed, we'll send specific feedback — not a generic rejection. Most articles go through one round of minor edits before publication. Once live, you'll receive the URL of your published article and can verify your do-follow backlink is in place.
Do We Pay Writers?
Currently, thenewdelhi.in does not offer monetary payment for guest posts. What we do offer is a permanent do-follow backlink (valued by SEO professionals), a published byline with author bio on a real-traffic website, and the opportunity to contribute to a growing Delhi resource that thousands of readers use every month. Many contributors write for us for SEO value, brand building, or simply because they love Delhi and want to contribute something useful to it.
What Happens After Your Post is Published?
Once your article is live, we share it across our social channels and it becomes part of the interlinking structure of thenewdelhi.in. As the site grows, older posts accumulate more traffic and more internal links from newer content. Your post doesn't just appear and disappear — it becomes a permanent, indexed, linked part of this Delhi reference guide. Several of our earliest contributor articles now rank on the first page of Google for Delhi-specific searches.
