How to request a sample

Send your request to our support team via chat with:

  • The listing URL or site name you're evaluating

  • What you're looking for — a published guest post example, a sample in a specific niche, or a general writing sample

We'll reach out to the publisher on your behalf. 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 — is the site publishing with genuine editorial oversight?

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

  • Link environment — what other sites are being linked to, and are they credible?

A sample tells you things that 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 obligated to order after reviewing. If it doesn't meet your standards, let our team know — we can suggest alternative placements in the same niche and price range.
