How to request a sample

You don't contact publishers directly. Send your request to our team through chat with:

  • The listing URL or site name you're evaluating

  • What you'd like to see: a published guest post, a sample in a specific niche, or a general writing sample

We'll contact the publisher on your behalf. Publishers typically respond within 1–3 working days, though this varies.

What to look for in a sample

  • Content quality: is the writing original and substantive, or thin and generic?

  • Editorial standards: does the site publish with clear structure and real editorial oversight?

  • Topical fit: does the content match the niche you're targeting?

  • Link environment: which other sites does it link to, and are they credible?

A sample tells you things metrics can't. A DR 55 site with low-quality content carries more long-term risk than a DR 40 site with strong editorial standards.

If you're not satisfied with the sample

You're not obliged to order after reviewing it. Let our team know and we'll suggest alternative placements in the same niche and price range.
