ADDING OFFERS
To get started go to the My Pages tab. Then select “Add offer”.
Now you can add offers from one of 4 main categories:
- sponsored articles (an article written and posted on your website by somebody else)
- link insertions (any link that gets placed into existing content)
- advertising backlinks (text links and banners placed on your website)
- press mentions (Short mentions that can be duplicated and may not include outbound links)
When adding an offer, pay attention to the durability! You can set links for at least 12 months or permanently. This means that in the first case you are committing to have the publication displayed at least one year after purchase. The second option assumes that the publication will always be displayed and you will not remove it from your website.
Every new offer and an offer after turning on is moderated. Process of moderation takes usually max. 24 hours
