Blocked from AI answers
Journal Star blocks the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. A placement still carries reader and search credibility, but it is unlikely to be cited in AI answers. If AI visibility is the goal, filter the directory by AI-citable.

About Journal Star
Journal Star (pjstar.com) has been publishing since 1995 and covers general news for readers in Illinois, United States, in English. It reaches roughly 812k visitors a month, about 200k of them from Google search, and ranks for 131k search keywords. On authority it has a domain rating of 74, a domain authority of 74 and links from about 21k other websites, and sits at #43,983 in the Tranco global ranking. It blocks the crawlers behind AI answer engines, so an article here builds reader and search credibility but is unlikely to be cited in AI answers. Every placement is quoted per case and paid into escrow; the money is released only when the live URL and a dated screenshot are posted into your case.
