How to get a press release on TechBullion
· 5 min read
TechBullion is quote-on-request here, against a $150 wholesale, and is in none of our packages. It is the one outlet we measured with no disclosure of any kind — no press-release chip, no paid label, no wire attribution, just a human byline in the ordinary article template — and the one that gave plain dofollow links on business content. On crypto content the link tag changes and the credit goes with it. Those two facts are the whole case for it and against it.
Across every outlet we measured, disclosure quality and link value moved in opposite directions. TechBullion is the extreme end of that line, in both directions at once.
We searched a delivered TechBullion release for the words "disclaimer", "sponsored", "advertisement", "not responsible" and "endorse". Zero occurrences of any of them, anywhere on the page. No press-release chip, no paid label, no wire attribution. Instead: "By Priya — Posted on February 16, 2026", a human byline, in the ordinary article template.
And the links were real. Six links to the client, each carrying rel="follow external noopener" — no nofollow token, so a credit-passing link by Google's own definition, six times over. That is the strongest link treatment we recorded anywhere in the catalogue.
Both of those facts are the product. It is worth being clear about which one you are buying, because they carry different risks.
The crypto exception, which is not a footnote
On a crypto release published 28 August 2026, the same outlet served:
rel="sponsored noopener follow external"
The follow is still there. So is sponsored — and that token tells Google the link was paid for, which means no ranking credit passes regardless of the follow sitting next to it. It is a nofollow in different clothing, and it is easy to misread as a win.
Same outlet, same template, different subject matter. Business releases get the link; crypto releases do not. Our catalogue carries that as a per-outlet exception rather than averaging it into a single boolean, because a single boolean would be false for exactly the crypto releases buyers most often ask us about. It is also the clearest example we have that a dofollow column in anyone's catalogue is modelled on the wrong axis.
The URL changed after delivery
On one verified TechBullion release, the published slug was changed after publication. The originally indexed URL now 301-redirects.
A redirect is not a disaster — the content survives and the redirect passes through. But a link handed to a customer in a delivery report stops resolving directly, and if that report is a static PDF nobody re-checks, it quietly becomes wrong. This is the specific mechanism behind re-checking rather than filing, observed on a live page rather than argued from principle.
Whether the page can be checked automatically
Yes, and TechBullion is unusually welcoming about it. Its robots.txt, read 29 August 2026, explicitly allows Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, meta-externalfetcher and Meta-ExternalAgent — the AI-training and AI-answer crawlers most publishers in this catalogue block — while disallowing CCBot, Amazonbot and Bytespider. The User-agent: * group excludes WordPress admin paths, search and tracking parameters, and nothing else. It also publishes a dedicated news-sitemap.xml.
Our automatic-verification rate is 1.00, stable across passes, and a URL that does not exist returns a clean 404 — so removal here is genuinely detectable, unlike on Digital Journal, Benzinga or Street Insider.
If AI-answer visibility is part of your case for buying press distribution, TechBullion is one of the few outlets in this catalogue whose configuration is consistent with it. That is not a promise that you will be cited — we cannot measure that and will not sell it — but it is a necessary condition, and most of the marquee names fail it.
What it costs, and the neighbourhood
TechBullion is quote-on-request here, and it is in none of our packages. It used to carry a cart price. It no longer does, and the reason is worth stating plainly: our supplier's API sells four named outlets — AP News, USA Today, Barchart and Street Insider — and TechBullion is not one of them. Every TechBullion sale was therefore a person emailing a broker, which is exactly the manual step this service is built to not have. Our wholesale is around $150. Ask and we will price it; you will get a date and a figure from a human, not a checkout.
The front page on the day we checked was dense with "Best Crypto Presale to Watch", "Next 100x Meme Coins" and repeated presale placements. A serious B2B announcement lands in that adjacency, under an editorial template that gives no sign anything was paid for. That combination — undisclosed paid content next to presale promotion — is the reason this outlet needs a judgement call rather than a price comparison.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you are announcing a business or product story, you want a genuine credit-passing link from a tech domain, and you are comfortable that the page will not disclose the arrangement. On the measurements we hold, this is the best link available in the catalogue for non-crypto content.
Buy it if you want a placement a machine can actually read, and you care about the surfaces that read them.
Do not buy it for a crypto or token release expecting the link. You will get sponsored, which passes nothing, and you will get it on the exact content type where the link is most often the whole reason for the purchase.
Do not buy it if undisclosed paid placement is a problem for you — and for some buyers it genuinely is. If you are regulated, listed, raising from institutions, or simply do not want to explain later why a paid article ran under a staff-style byline with no label, an outlet that labels the arrangement is the safer purchase at a fifth of the price.
Do not cite the delivered URL without re-checking it. On this outlet we have seen the slug change after publication.
Where these figures came from
- TechBullion business release published 16 February 2026 and opened 28 August 2026: six client links carrying rel="follow external noopener", a human byline, and zero occurrences of "disclaimer", "sponsored", "advertisement", "not responsible" or "endorse" anywhere on the page.
- TechBullion crypto release published 28 August 2026: client links carrying rel="sponsored noopener follow external".
- Google Search Central, "Qualify your outbound links to Google" — the sponsored value tells Google the link was paid for, so no ranking credit passes regardless of an accompanying follow token: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/qualify-outbound-links
- The published slug on the February release was changed after publication; the originally indexed URL now returns a 301 redirect.
- techbullion.com/robots.txt, fetched 29 August 2026 — explicit "Allow: /" for Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, meta-externalfetcher and Meta-ExternalAgent; "Disallow: /" for CCBot, Amazonbot and Bytespider; a "User-agent: *" group excluding only WordPress admin paths, search and tracking parameters; and a declared news-sitemap.xml: https://techbullion.com/robots.txt
- Automatic-verification rate of 1.00 across repeated passes, and a clean 404 for a well-formed URL that does not exist, so removal is detectable on this host: research/verification-feasibility.md.
- Front-page adjacency recorded verbatim on the day of checking.
- TechBullion carries priceCents: null in content/catalog.ts — quote-only, because it has no supplierPlan; the per-content-type link exception is recorded there rather than averaged. Wholesale ~$150 from supplier research. TechBullion appears in no package.
