1

Choose a relevant article

A link should help someone reading the surrounding article. Check whether the request calls for a new post or a link in an existing post, and only use a blog you are authorized to edit.

2

Make the destination clear

Use descriptive link text that explains where the reader will go. Check that the published link works and that the page can be opened by the reviewer.

3

Identify paid placement

Make the commercial relationship clear near the recommendation. Check your publishing platform's rules and use the appropriate sponsored-link treatment when a link is paid.

4

Keep proof focused on the post

Read the Share Request's proof instructions before accepting. A public article URL can identify the published share; do not include private publishing credentials or visitor information.

Check the request before you accept.
