Guest posts on publishers that had to earn the placement.

No, and it is not a promise we ask you to take on trust. Every destination domain you send us enters a permanent suppression list. Our prospecting reads that list before any outreach campaign is built, so those domains cannot enter one even by accident. It is enforced in code rather than buried in a contract clause.

There is no LinkTribune footprint in the delivery. Publishers are never told who the end client is, reports arrive unbranded or in your branding, and nothing in the outreach, the content or the placement references us. You can forward anything we send you straight to a client without editing it.

Not unless you show them. We have no contact with your client, we do not appear in the placement, and we do not publish a client list. The publisher relationship is ours; the client relationship stays entirely yours.

The suppression list is permanent and does not expire when a partnership ends. A domain you sent us in month one is still excluded in year three. That is deliberate - a protection that lapses is not a protection, it is a delay.

Yes, and we will sign yours rather than insisting on ours. The suppression list does the practical work, but if your client contracts require an NDA on the supply chain, that is not a problem.

We hold the destination domains you send us, because the suppression list cannot work otherwise. We do not hold client names, contacts or commercial terms, and we never need them to fulfil an order.

Yes. Monthly monitoring reports arrive either unbranded or in your branding, as a document you can forward without editing. Most partners take the unbranded version and drop it into their own client reporting.

Roughly eleven of every twelve candidates we measure. Most fail on own-locale traffic, because a site with global traffic and no audience in your client's country is the single most common thing sold as a good link. The rest fail on spam score, relevance, or because they fingerprint as one operator running several sites.

Because unmeasurable is not the same as clean, and treating it as clean is how bad placements get through. If we cannot return a score for a domain, it does not go in front of you. Every threshold works the same way: the check has to run and pass, not merely not fail.

It is organic traffic in the publisher's own country and language, rather than worldwide. A German site with 40,000 visits that are mostly from India is worth nothing to a client selling in Germany, but it passes almost every competitor's traffic threshold. Ours is 2,000 a month in the publisher's own market, and we show you the figure for every domain.

No. DR is cheap to inflate and says nothing about whether a site has readers where your client sells. We will tell you a domain's DR if you ask, because your client may want it in a report, but it is not what we check and we will not price by it.

As a number, scored per publisher-client pair from the overlap between the keywords the publisher ranks for and the client's own categories. The floor is 40 out of 100. It means two partners can get different relevance scores for the same publisher, which is the point - relevance is a relationship, not a property of the site.

No. Sites selling sitewide or footer links are rejected outright, and we fingerprint publishers by shared analytics ids, ads.txt entries, hosting and template so one operator cannot be sold to you as several independent sites. There is a cap on how many placements any single operator can supply.

We check how many external commercial dofollow links a page already carries before we will use it, and reject anything above three. On the domain level, a site whose outbound profile is mostly paid placements fails relevance and operator checks long before it reaches you.

Not through us for the same client, and not repeatedly. A domain is not repeated for one client inside twelve months, and on link insertions there is a hard cap of two LinkTribune links per page, ever, across every client we have.

Yes, or you do not pay for it. A placement that goes live nofollowed counts as a failure under the guarantee and is replaced or refunded like any other.

In the body content. Author bios, footers, sidebars and link lists are excluded by the checks, not by preference. On insertions the page also has to be at least 90 days old and already ranking for five or more keywords.

Yes, and you should. Send the anchor with the brief and we place it as written unless the publisher's editor refuses, in which case we come back to you rather than substituting something ourselves.

Sometimes, and the order says so. Some publishers in regulated markets label everything, and a labelled placement on a strong site is often worth more than an unlabelled one on a weak site. If a client must never carry a labelled link, say so when you register it and we never buy one.

Yes. Every rejection carries the check it failed and the figure it failed on. Partners who ask tend to ask once, then stop, because the answer is usually a traffic number that is not where they assumed.

Cost-plus, within the budget you set per client. Every order shows the publisher's price and our fee as separate lines, with the reason we chose that placement. There is no rate card, because a flat price per tier is how suppliers quietly lose money on good publishers and overcharge on weak ones.

Because the honest price depends on what the publisher charges, and that varies by a factor of ten across sites with identical metrics. A published tier price is a guess dressed as a policy. You get the real number per domain instead, before you commit.

No retainer and no minimum order. Most partners start with a single placement to see how the vetting reads before committing anything.

Yes, and it comes off our fee rather than off the vetting. The checks do not move with the size of a budget. What changes is our percentage of publisher cost, from 40% on the smallest budgets toward 25% once monthly budgets across your clients are steady.

The publisher invoices you directly for their price. We invoice our fee on its own line, after the link is live and verified. Two invoices, nothing folded together, so you can mark up transparently or bundle it into a retainer, whichever suits how you bill your own client.

That is your business and we do not have a view on it. What we will not do is undercut you: our direct pricing sits deliberately above typical agency retail, so a client who found us independently pays more than they would through you.

Then fewer links, not weaker ones. We will not loosen the checks to hit a price point, because the placements that clear a lower bar are the ones that disappear in six months and cost you the client relationship.

We replace it or refund it, for twelve months. Nine failure states are checked every week - including removal, nofollow, deindexation and redirects - and you get a report each month whether or not anything moved. You do not have to notice the problem yourself.

If a placement is not indexed within 60 days it is replaced or refunded. Indexation is the one part of this that nobody can honestly guarantee outright, so it is covered by a remedy instead of by a promise.

Insertions are usually days; guest posts run longer because a publisher has to schedule editorial. You get a measured turnaround per publisher rather than a marketing number, and publishers only carry a fast-delivery badge once they have actually delivered that fast more than once.

You get an automatic credit for every day past it, without having to claim it. Past day eight you can take a substitute placement or a refund, your choice. The reason it is automatic is that claim-based remedies are how every competitor makes a late-delivery policy cost them nothing.

No. The monthly report arrives whether anything changed or not, which is deliberate - a report that only appears when there is bad news trains you to dread it, and a supplier who goes quiet is usually not monitoring at all.

The weekly check catches it, because we monitor the link and its context rather than just pinging the URL. If the link is removed or altered in a rewrite, it falls under the same twelve-month replace-or-refund as any other failure.

Tell us. Every order carries the reason we chose it, so if the reason was wrong for that client we correct the brief and the next decisions change with it. A live placement that fails any of the nine monitored states is replaced or refunded; a placement you simply dislike we would rather replace than argue about.

Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Austria are where our own sourcing is strongest. There is no language limit: we place in any language a client sells in, written natively. We price publishers on request outside those markets when a partner needs them, and we will tell you when a market is thin rather than padding it.

Yes, with no limit on which. Content for a German publisher is written in German by someone who writes German, a Polish publisher gets Polish, a Swedish one Swedish, never translated from an English draft. Editors reject translated copy more often than they reject anything else, which makes it the most expensive place to cut a corner.

A guest post is a new article we place; an insertion adds your link into an article that already exists and already ranks. Insertions are faster and often stronger, because the page has history. They are also checked harder, since a page that already carries three commercial links is not worth being the fourth on.

Either of us. Send your own and we place it, or we write it and you review before it goes to the publisher. Writing it costs you nothing either way - research, images, fitting it to the publisher's house style and handling their revisions are all inside our percentage rather than billed beside it.

Yes, in the portal, the moment we decide it. Each order shows the domain, the traffic figure, the spam score, the relevance number, the page it will sit on, the price and the reason. You do not approve it; you can always read why, and you can tell us if the brief needs changing.

Ask us for the current figure rather than trusting a number on a website. Capacity depends on the market and how many publishers in that cell have cleared the five checks recently, and we would rather turn volume away than loosen the checks to absorb it.

No. Not strategy, not audits, not content marketing, not SEO retainers. Those are your services, and a supplier who sells them too is a supplier who is one conversation away from replacing you.

Send one target URL and a market. We come back with priced candidates that have already cleared the five checks, usually within a few days. We place the best one, with the reason on the order, and you decide from the result whether there is a second.

Not yet. Orders and reports run over email today, which is honest rather than impressive. A partner portal is planned once enough partners are running enough volume for it to be worth more than a well-written email.

Whoever is doing the work, directly. There is no account management layer to pass you down to, which is the advantage of working with a small supplier and the reason we cap how much volume we take.

We will say no and tell you why. The five checks have no manual override, including for us, because a threshold that bends under commercial pressure is a description rather than a rule.

Do not, yet. Order one placement, check the traffic figure we quote against your own tools, and see whether the monthly report arrives without being asked. Every claim on this page is checkable on a single order, which is why the terms are written as numbers rather than adjectives.
