Editorial Guidelines & Publisher Code of Ethics

1. Editorial Mission & Purpose

At AG Linkers, we operate under a foundational premise: editorial quality drives search engine permanence. We reject automated content spinning, private blog networks (PBNs), and low-effort promotional spam in their entirety.

Every article published through our marketplace must provide genuine educational, analytical, or practical utility to human readers. Backlinks must occur naturally as contextual citations that expand upon the topic rather than intrusive advertisements.

2. Content Originality & Depth Standards

All written submissions produced by our in-house editorial team or submitted directly by clients must satisfy rigorous quality criteria:

• 100% Originality Verification: Every draft is scanned against Copyscape Premium and proprietary plagiarism databases. Duplicate or rephrased content is rejected outright.
• Substantial Article Length: Standard guest contributions must meet or exceed 800 to 1,500 words depending on host publication specifications. Complex technical, financial, or healthcare topics often require 1,800+ words.
• Professional Human Authorship: We do not accept unedited, raw AI outputs. Articles must demonstrate expert domain understanding, natural voice, nuanced analysis, and idiomatic English fluency.
• Structural Formatting: Submissions must feature clear hierarchical heading structures (H2 and H3 elements), concise scannable paragraphs, bulleted summaries, and engaging introductions.

3. Prohibited Topics & Blacklisted Niches

To maintain the highest tier of webmaster trust and domain safety, AG Linkers maintains an absolute zero-tolerance policy toward predatory, illicit, or deceptive industries. We do not accept, write for, or link out to the following niches under any circumstances:

Orders placed for targets in prohibited niches are canceled immediately, and funds are refunded subject to processing deductibles if deception was attempted.

4. Supported Industry Verticals

Our publisher network welcomes high-quality informational content across vetted business, technical, and consumer verticals, including:

• Technology & SaaS: Cloud architecture, cybersecurity, enterprise software, developer tools, AI/ML engineering, mobile apps, and IT infrastructure.
• Business & Finance: Corporate accounting, venture capital, fintech, commercial insurance, leadership strategy, and economic analysis.
• Healthcare & Wellness: Evidence-based fitness, mental wellness, nutrition, medical technology, telehealth, and clinical research.
• E-Commerce & Retail: Supply chain logistics, consumer trends, digital marketing, conversion rate optimization, and omnichannel retail.
• Legal & Professional Services: Intellectual property, corporate governance, employment law, commercial contracts, and compliance.
• Home & Industrial: Architecture, interior design, renewable energy, manufacturing, and real estate development.

5. Link Placement & Anchor Integrity

Backlink inclusion is governed by strict contextual guidelines designed to withstand ongoing search engine algorithmic evaluations:

• Maximum Backlink Limit: No more than one to two target contextual links are allowed per 1,000 words to maintain natural link density.
• Semantic Anchor Text: Anchor text must fit the natural grammatical flow of the host sentence. We strongly discourage forced exact-match keyword stuffing (e.g., “best cheap plumber new york”) in favor of descriptive, contextual anchors.
• Target Relevance: The landing page URL must directly relate to the topic discussed in the host article. Irrelevant link jumps are rejected by our editorial review team.
• Link Attribution: Links are placed with the exact attribute agreed upon in the order specification (permanent Dofollow or Nofollow).

6. Fact-Checking & Primary Sources

Trustworthy content builds durable authority. All statistical claims, industry forecasts, and scientific assertions must cite credible primary sources. Acceptable reference sources include:

• Peer-reviewed journals and academic institutions
• Official government datasets (e.g., BLS, Census Bureau, Eurostat)
• Recognized market intelligence providers (e.g., Statista, Gartner, McKinsey)
• Official documentation and primary software vendor announcements

7. Review & Approval Workflow

Every order follows our transparent 4-stage editorial pipeline:

1. Topic ideation & pitch: Our content team pitches 2–3 bespoke angles tailored to the host publication's audience and topical authority.
2. Draft production: Professional writers produce the complete manuscript adhering to host site voice, length, and editorial guidelines.
3. Internal QA inspection: The draft undergoes plagiarism scanning, factual spot-checks, anchor text evaluation, and readability grading.
4. Publisher editorial review: The host publication's editorial board conducts final review and retains full discretion to request revisions prior to publication.

8. Permanence & Anti-Deletion Guarantee

Publishers in our marketplace are contractually bound to maintain published guest contributions indefinitely. To protect our clients:

Every order includes our Lifetime Link Replacement Guarantee. In the rare event that a published article or link is modified, archived, or deleted by a host webmaster, our outreach team coordinates with the publisher to reinstate the placement immediately or provides a complimentary replacement on an equivalent or higher authority domain at no additional charge.

9. FTC & Webmaster Compliance

AG Linkers adheres strictly to relevant international consumer protection standards and search engine guidelines. Where required by regional law or publisher policy, appropriate sponsorship transparency notations are preserved to ensure sustainable long-term authority.
