Why the report only includes verified links

Straight answers 2 min read Updated 12.09.2026
Placement tasks 59,748, successful publications 41,579, and verified links 26,044 — only the last number makes it into the report. How verification works and what happens with unverified slots.

The promotion report shows not "what we submitted for publication," but "what actually exists." The difference between these two numbers is one and a half times, and we believe it is correct to show the smaller one.

Three different numbers

NumberValue for the entire platform historyWhat it means
Placement tasks59,748How many publications the platform attempted to make, including repeats
Successful publications41,579The platform accepted the material and returned the address
Verified links26,044The page opened, and your link was found

Data as of September 12, 2026. Only the third line makes it into the report for the client.

How verification works

  1. The publication address is opened anew, with a separate request, unrelated to the placement process.
  2. A link to your target page is searched for on the obtained page — taking into account relative addresses and redirect links, where the target is encrypted within the address.
  3. If the platform blocks our server address, the request is repeated through a proxy, and for platforms with strict protection, the page is obtained through a special gateway that renders JavaScript.
  4. The result is recorded as a reason: link is present, page is dead, page is empty, link is absent.

Why a publication may not pass verification

  • The platform removed the material — typical for some topics.
  • The publication went into moderation and did not appear publicly.
  • The platform cut the external link from the text.
  • The address changed, the old one returns an error.

What happens with an unverified slot

The slot is not counted as a loss: the platform reposts the publication on another site until a live verified link appears in that spot of the cascade. Repeats are limited to a reasonable number of attempts and choose platforms that are currently working stably. For you, this means that the ordered volume is the volume of verified links, not submitted requests.

Why we show the "bad" number
Showing 41,579 instead of 26,044 would be more beneficial and formally not a lie — the publications did indeed take place. But a link that is not on the page does not work, and a report that contains such lines devalues the entire rest of the report.

Where this is visible in the cabinet

In the launch report, each publication is shown with the address, platform, anchor, and verification status; the project summary is in the “Pulse”. The report can be exported to PDF, including under your brand.

FAQ

What does "verified link" mean?
The publication page was opened anew with a separate request, and a link to your target page was found on it. Only such lines make it into the report.
Am I paying for verified links or for placement attempts?
For the volume of verified links: if the slot is not confirmed, the platform reposts the publication on another site at its own expense.
Why do you have fewer links in your report than promised by the tariff?
This should not happen: the ordered volume is made up by reposting. If the discrepancy is visible, it is a reason to contact support with a reference to the report.
