1. Order confirmed
Your order appears in the Orders tab immediately after checkout, and your wallet is debited. Until you add your order details (anchor text, target URL, and content if you're providing it), the order sits under Needs Action. The publisher can't start until everything is submitted.
2. Submitted for publisher review
Once you submit your details, the publisher reviews them. They check that the content meets their editorial requirements and that the link fits their site. The turnaround time starts from this point, not from when you placed the order.
3. Content approved, rejected or ready for your review
Approved: your placement enters the publisher's queue. You'll get a notification confirming it.
Rejected: you'll get a notification with the reason. Open the order, make the changes and resubmit. Common reasons are content quality, topic fit, or anchor text that looks unnatural.
Written by the publisher: if you chose By Publisher, you'll be asked to review their article. Approve it, or request changes, before it goes live.
4. Link goes live
When the publisher publishes your placement, you'll get a notification and the order status updates automatically. The live URL is shown on the order.
5. Link monitoring begins
Once your link is live, our monitoring system checks it regularly. If the link goes down, changes to nofollow or disappears, you'll get an alert and we'll contact the publisher to resolve it.
How long does it take?
Each listing shows an estimated turnaround time ("Approx. X working days TAT"). It's an estimate: actual times depend on the publisher, and some deliver the same day while others take longer. If your order is a few days past its estimated turnaround and you haven't had an update, contact us through chat with your order number.
⚠ Order not moving? Check the Needs Action tab first. An order won't go to the publisher until your anchor text, target URL and content (if applicable) are all submitted.
