Written by engineers as a starting point for an attorney, not by an attorney. It reflects how the product actually works, which is the useful half of the job — but it has not been reviewed for enforceability, jurisdiction, or consumer-protection law anywhere. Do not launch against it.

Every listing shows traffic read directly from the publisher’s own Search Console — not a screenshot, not a claim. Domain authority and spam score come from Moz; the backlink profile from DataForSEO.
After a placement goes live we independently check, at publish, +24 hours and +7 days, that the page returns 200, an anchor to the buyer’s target exists, its text matches what was ordered, and its rel attribute matches. Credits release only after the seven-day check passes.
We do not verify editorial quality, and no one can verify that a link will move a ranking.
Own the site. Listings require a verified Search Console property. You cannot list a site you do not control.
Declare attributes honestly. You choose which rel attributes you accept. Delivering nofollow where dofollow was ordered fails verification — and note that dofollow is the absence of nofollow, not a token to add.
Keep it live. Removing a link after verification passes is the most common cause of a dispute, and disputes are ruled against the publisher.
Deliver on time. Accept within the acceptance window or the order expires and refunds automatically.
Publishers are scored nightly on delivery rate, dispute rate, verification failure rate and turnaround. Delivery carries the most weight because it is what buyers actually experience.
Below a threshold, a publisher’s listings are paused pending review — not their account. Orders already in flight remain theirs to complete, and completing them is what recovers the score. Fewer than three completed orders means no score at all rather than a flattering one from a single lucky delivery.
Supply content that is publishable: original, on-topic, and not in a prohibited category. Do not order placements for sites you do not represent. Do not pressure a publisher to change a link attribute after acceptance — the attribute was part of what you ordered.
Sponsored placements are advertising. Search engines publish guidelines on paid links, and several jurisdictions require disclosure to readers independently of anything a search engine wants.
Both parties are responsible for their own compliance. RankVault records which attribute was ordered and delivered, which is what you would need if asked — but it does not make the decision for you, and defaulting a listing to sponsored is a starting point rather than legal cover.
Gambling, pharmaceuticals, adult content, counterfeit goods, crypto investment schemes and essay mills. Enforced automatically at listing creation and at content generation from a single shared list, so the two cannot drift apart.
Report a listing or a placement — including copyright complaints — from the report form. Reports go to a moderation queue with a takedown action available; DMCA notices require a sworn statement.
