Run five hard gates first
A failed gate overrides the score
Search visibility and traffic history
Reject when: No verifiable audience, an unexplained collapse, or traffic from unrelated topics.
Discoverability and index status
Reject when: Large sections disappear from search or recent pages remain undiscoverable without an explanation.
Topic, section and audience fit
Reject when: A broad topic farm, or the link only fits when forced into unrelated copy.
Editorial and outbound-link environment
Reject when: Dense paid-link patterns, hidden links, or repeated links to high-risk neighbours.
Commercial terms and link attributes
Reject when: A request to conceal payment or misrepresent the publisher's editorial review.
Step 02 · Comparison
Score seven weighted dimensions
1 = weak evidence · 3 = neutral · 5 = strong evidence
DimensionWeightScoreEvidence / notes
Topical and audience relevance
How closely the site, section, article and paragraph match the people you want to reach.
Verifiable search visibility
Whether keyword themes, country mix and historical trends form a credible pattern.
Editorial quality and accountability
Named authors or editors, content depth, corrections and a visible publishing history.
Outbound-link environment
Commercial-content ratio, link density, neighbouring sites and anchor-text patterns.
Target-page and context fit
Whether the destination genuinely helps a reader at this point in the article.
Retention and historical stability
Evidence of retained pages, removed links, redirects and domain changes.
Transaction transparency
Clarity on price, attributes, disclosure, replacement terms and issue handling.

Current decision
Review incomplete
5 hard gates are still unreviewed. Do not use the score for approval yet.
Step 03 · Delivery
Complete seven post-publication checks
Publisher approval does not mean the actual placement is acceptable. Record the live result and evidence before settlement.
Published URL
The page is publicly accessible without a login wall, unexpected redirect or preview status.
Article and context
The live topic matches the approved copy and the surrounding text explains the destination's value.
Target URL
Protocol, host, path, parameters and final redirect match the agreed destination.
Anchor text
The live anchor matches the approved draft and the wider anchor-text plan.
rel attributes and disclosure
Link attributes, commercial arrangement and disclosure match the written agreement.
Technical page status
The HTTP status is healthy, with no unexpected canonical or access block.
Delivery evidence
The reviewer saves the date, screenshot or archive, checks and relevant communication.
7 acceptance checks remain.
Step 04 · Audit trail
Keep the evidence
Export the project fields, gates, weighted score, evidence and acceptance checks as UTF-8 CSV. Spreadsheet formula prefixes in your input are escaped before export.
The tool does not crawl third-party sites or make automated penalty claims. Save the source, sampled URLs, date and reasons behind your judgment.
Made by WailianJianshe
Built from a delivery-focused QC process
The scorecard is free to use. If your team also needs publisher qualification, guest-post or link-insertion delivery, or white-label fulfillment, we can discuss the execution separately.
Useful decisions require evidence, not a magic metric
This tool structures professional judgment. It does not promise rankings, indexation, penalty detection, publisher acceptance or permanent link retention.
