Verify ownership and complete each website profile
Ownership verification prevents another account from listing a domain it does not control. Complete the website's niche, language, editorial description, examples, visibility rules, and supported products after verification.
Keep third-party metrics separated by provider and show when they were refreshed. Buyers should be able to distinguish measured facts, estimates, and publisher-supplied information.
Set prices that match the editorial work
Price guest posts, link insertions, homepage links, sitewide sponsorships, and link-free citations separately. Consider editing time, writing requirements, placement visibility, duration, specialist subject matter, and the cost of maintaining the publication.
Special-niche pricing should be explicit. If you accept finance, gambling, adult, cannabis, or other restricted subjects, state the boundaries rather than deciding after an order arrives.
Publish exact product and disclosure terms
For every enabled product, state whether a sponsored label appears, which link attribute is used, and whether the placement lasts for a fixed number of months or permanently. Provide a representative example for each product where possible.
Paid links should follow applicable search engine, advertising, and consumer disclosure rules. Clear policies reduce rejected content, disputes, and late changes.
Fulfil consistently and build reputation
Review each brief promptly, request revisions with specific reasons, and submit the exact live URL when publication is complete. Keep the agreed article and links available for the recorded duration.
Site-level reviews reflect an individual publication while overall publisher reputation reflects the account's broader history. Reliable delivery, fair pricing, clear communication, and durable placements strengthen both.
