My Order Is Stuck and Not Moving

Most orders that look stuck are waiting on an action, either from you or from the publisher. Work through these checks in order.

Written by Velichko Achev

1. Check the Needs Action tab

Go to Orders → Needs Action. If your order is there, it's waiting on you. Common reasons:

  • Anchor text, target URL or content hasn't been submitted yet

  • Your content was rejected and needs revising

  • The publisher wrote the article and it's waiting for your review

Open the order, click Take Action, and complete what's outstanding. The order moves forward as soon as you do.

2. Check the estimated turnaround

If the order is under Pending, it's with the publisher. Compare today's date with the estimated turnaround shown on the listing ("Approx. X working days TAT"). It's an estimate, and actual times depend on the publisher. If you're still within it, or only just past it, the order is most likely progressing normally.

3. Check your notifications

If the order seems to be moving but you're not seeing updates, your emails may be landing in spam, or notifications may be switched off for the account. See I'm Not Receiving Email Notifications.

Still stuck?

If your order is a few days past its estimated turnaround and nothing is waiting on you, contact us through chat with your order number. We'll check with the publisher.
