How to request a sample
You don't request samples directly from publishers yourself. Send your request to our support team with:
The listing URL or site name you're evaluating
What you're looking for (e.g., a published guest post example, a sample article in a specific niche)
We'll contact the publisher on your behalf and request an example piece. Publishers typically respond within 1–3 working days, though this varies.
What to look for in a sample
When you receive a sample, check:
Content quality — Is the writing original and substantive, or thin and generic?
Editorial standards — Does the site publish with clear structure, proper formatting, and real editorial oversight?
Topical fit — Does the content match the niche you're targeting?
Link environment — What other sites are being linked to? Are they credible?
A sample tells you more than metrics do. A DR 55 site with low-quality content is riskier long-term than a DR 40 site with strong editorial standards.
What happens if you don't like the sample
You're not obligated to order after reviewing a sample. If the sample doesn't meet your standards, let our team know — we can suggest alternative placements in the same niche and price range.
