Trusted store
A trusted store is a vendor that we feel comfortable recommending to our (30,000+) visitors and members when they are hookah shopping. All stores looking to sponsor giveaways or purchase advertising on Hookah.org must first be a trusted store.
To become a trusted store, your business must be at least one year old, have a valid mailing address, and have a customer service phone number published on your website. The process of becoming a trusted store takes about two weeks. We will verify your business’s contact info and place an anonymous order with your store. We will then post package pictures and a short review of the order on our blog. If everything goes well you will be approved and listed on our trusted stores page.
Following are the benefits and cost of being a trusted store:
- Cost: $99/month
- Listed on our trusted stores page + store coupon code (optional)
- Dedicated forum thread to post latest deals and promotions
- Store coupon code published in our weekly hookah newsletter
- Hookah.org trusted store seal to place on your website

Article Category Sponsorship (“Where to Buy”)
We have 350+ articles on our website reviewing various hookah products and suggesting hookah tips. Each category (ex. Starbuzz, Khalil Mamoon, Al Fakher, etc) can be sponsored by an online store. There is a block on top right of every page of each category titled “Where to Buy” with links to stores selling the particular product. The links are meant to suggest trustworthy stores to our visitors and generate actual customers for our sponsors. The links have a “no_follow” attribute to avoid Google penalization for you and us both.
Prices for the article category sponsorship depend on the current number of sponsors on that category. It would cost less to sponsor a page that has fewer sponsors and there can be up to 4 sponsors on any category.
- Cost: $15 – $100 / month
- Must be a trusted store
- Links have a no_follow attribute
- Discounts are available when sponsoring 2 or more categories and for long term commitments
