Flexible Rate: Your Cascade Volume

Promotion and cascades 2 min read Updated 12.09.2026
When ready-made sets do not fit: how to manually set the number of links at each level, what ranges are allowed, how the price is calculated, and why a large volume is not always better.

Ready-made rates are pre-assembled sets: a certain number of first-level links, a certain number of second-level articles, a certain number of crowd mentions. If such a set does not fit, the flexible mode is activated, and you set the volume of each level yourself.

How to enable

  1. Open the promotion launch window for the desired page.
  2. Switch to the flexible rate instead of the ready-made card.
  3. Set values by levels: how many first-level links, how many second-level articles for each of them, how many third-level articles, and how many crowd mentions per article.
  4. The price will be recalculated immediately — it is based on the per-unit cost of the levels, not taken from the card.

What can be set

ParameterRange
First-level links1–500
Second-level articles for each first-level link1–500
Third-level articles for each second-level article1–500
Crowd mentions per article0–10,000

So a set like "20 → 200 → 20,000" can technically be assembled — the question is only about the price and whether such a volume is needed for your page.

A large volume is not always better
A sharp spike in link mass on a young domain looks unnatural. It is more sensible to split the budget into several launches over time than to pour everything at once: see is it safe for a white business.

How to understand what volume is needed

Instead of guessing, ask the platform to calculate: budget strategy in Radar will distribute the specified amount across pages with the highest return and suggest where a small launch is sufficient and where it makes sense to invest. The list of pages where the increase will bring the maximum traffic is compiled by the block “Missed Traffic”.

Small launch as a trial

The flexible mode is also convenient in the opposite direction: to assemble a minimal cascade for one page, check the quality of the platforms, texts, and reports — and only then scale up. This is cheaper than paying for a large volume blindly.

What does not change

  • Payment is still deducted at the moment of confirming the launch — see rates and prices.
  • The platform selects verified links: unverified slots are redistributed without additional payment.
  • Account and Pro subscriber discounts apply to the total amount just like in ready-made rates.

FAQ

Can I order more than in the ready-made rate?
Yes. In flexible mode, you set your own values by levels — up to 500 publications per level and up to 10,000 crowd mentions per article.
How is the price calculated in flexible mode?
It is based on the per-unit cost of the levels: the total is recalculated immediately when values are changed and is visible before confirming the launch.
Should I take a large volume right away?
For a young domain — no: a sharp spike in link mass looks unnatural. It is safer to split the budget into several launches over time.
