Orders can be delayed when additional time is needed to meet your requirements and deliver a quality placement. Below are the most common reasons an order may take longer than expected.
Your requirements are very specific
Orders may take longer when they include strict constraints such as:
A narrow niche or topic
High DR and traffic requirements
Specific placement types or editorial standards
Multiple exclusions or restricted site criteria
Pre-approval is enabled
If your order requires pre-approval, delivery may take longer because:
We need to source qualified options first
You need to review and approve suggested domains or pages
We only publish after approval is received
The niche is competitive or limited
Some niches have fewer high-quality publishers available, which can slow down sourcing and outreach.
The target URL or website needs review
Delays may happen if your target URL:
Is not accessible (broken page, redirects, 404)
Requires login to view content
Has unclear content or positioning
Conflicts with publisher requirements
Anchor text instructions are missing or unclear
If anchor text requirements are not provided or are too restrictive, we may need clarification before proceeding.
Custom outreach takes longer than expected
Custom outreach depends on external publisher response times. Some websites take longer to reply, negotiate, or publish content.
Additional quality checks are required
In some cases, we may spend extra time vetting websites to ensure they meet your tier requirements and quality standards.
How to avoid delays
To keep your order moving smoothly:
Submit clear target URLs and anchor text instructions
Avoid overly restrictive requirements unless necessary
Respond quickly to pre-approval requests
Include any exclusions or must-have requirements upfront
