What is on the page
-
A page of its own
Not a card in a list — a real article page, with your featured image across the top and your name or your business under it.
-
A featured image
Up to 10MB, shown at the top of the page and on your card in the directory. It is the one thing that decides whether anybody clicks.
-
A category and up to three tags
The category comes from a list everybody else files under too, so a reader browsing one actually finds yours. The tags are your own words, printed at the foot of the piece.
-
5 more images, placed where you want them
Upload one and you are handed a shortcode. Paste it anywhere in the article and the picture appears there. To swap one, delete it and upload another.
-
A proper editor
Headings, bold, italic, underline, text colour, bullet and numbered lists, and links. Enough to lay out an article and no more.
-
Advertising beside your article, not in it
The ad slots sit in a sidebar to the right of your text. Your words are never interrupted by one.
-
A view count
Counted per visit and shown at the bottom of the page, so you can see whether the piece was read.
-
Found by latest or most read
The directory sorts both ways, so a good piece keeps being found after the week it went up.
-
The web address never moves
Correct it, rewrite it, change the picture: the address people already shared keeps working.
-
Your business on it, if you have one
A live Business Listing puts its name and logo under the article instead of your own name and photograph.
-
3 free edits after it is published
Then 1,000 coins an edit. What is live stays exactly as it is until somebody has read the new version, and the run does not restart.
-
Extend it from My listings
When the run is ending, or after it has ended, add another 14 days or Lifetime* from the listing itself. The time is added to what is left, never restarted.
How buying it works
- 1 Buy it here. The 1,000 coins leave your balance now.
- 2 Write the listing whenever you are ready — there is no time limit on an unused one.
- 3 Admin team monitors all listings.
- 4 It runs for 14 days from the day it is approved.
If it is turned down
Something fixable — wrong section, thin copy, a dead link — and the listing comes straight back to your account to correct and post again. It costs you nothing twice.
Something against the rules — gambling, adult content, anything illegal — and it is forfeited. A refund there would make breaking the rules free to keep attempting.
