How Editorial Links Works
A professional editorial discovery and content-production platform — for businesses looking for real editorial talent, and for editors looking to build a credible, discoverable body of work.
An editorial link is an organic inbound link earned because content, information or a resource is considered relevant and useful. It is not the primary product being sold by Editorial Links.

Editorial Links facilitates the appropriate connection or opportunity.
Independent Contractor Relationship
The selected editor performs the project independently, under the agreed terms.

- The credit cost is shown before deduction.
- After confirmation, the applicable credit is deducted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Editorial Links a backlink marketplace?
No. We don’t sell links, guest posts, or link placements. We connect businesses with independent editors based on real published work, and facilitate the resulting engagement. An editorial link, where one appears, is an organic inbound link earned because content is genuinely relevant and useful — it is not the product being sold.
How do businesses find editors?
By browsing editor profiles and reading their published articles directly on the platform, filtering by expertise and topic.
Can businesses contact editors directly?
No. Every engagement is submitted to Editorial Links first. We review the requirement and facilitate the opportunity — editors’ direct contact details are never published on the public platform.
What are Access Credits?
Access Credits are used by businesses to unlock eligible editor contact information where this feature is offered. The credit cost is shown before deduction, and one credit is deducted upon confirmation. Buying credits does not guarantee a project, publication, ranking, traffic, or any SEO outcome.
What are Publishing Credits?
Publishing Credits are the editor-side equivalent: they govern an editor’s ability to publish approved content, and are visible in the editor dashboard. Admins can assign credits, and additional credits may be available for purchase where offered. Publishing Credits do not mean "backlink credits."
Can editors guarantee backlinks?
No. No editor on this platform offers or guarantees backlinks as part of an engagement. Articles may include relevant external references, up to two per article, subject to editorial approval — but a link is never the deliverable being sold.
Are editors employees of Editorial Links?
No. Editors work as independent contractors and are responsible for their own taxes, legal obligations and professional conduct, unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
Does publishing guarantee jobs?
No. Publishing builds a portfolio and visibility, which can lead to opportunities over time, but Editorial Links does not guarantee a number of jobs, clients, or a level of income.
Does Editorial Links guarantee SEO results?
No. We do not guarantee rankings, traffic, or any other search-engine outcome for businesses, and we do not guarantee opportunities or income for editors.
How are editors verified?
Every editor applies and is individually reviewed for professional background and real, published work before an account is created. There is no open, public sign-up.
How are articles reviewed?
Submitted articles go through an editorial review before publishing, checked against our content standards - originality, relevance, accuracy and appropriate use of external references. Trusted, established editors may be granted the ability to publish directly.
What happens if an article violates the rules?
It may be sent back for revision, rejected, or removed if already published. Repeated violations, such as fabricated credentials or plagiarized work, can result in account suspension.
