Matching is automatic and runs on relevance. You bring the article you were already writing; the system finds the citations that genuinely fit it, and the sites whose articles fit yours. You earn the right to receive links by giving them.
Every number in these pages is read from the code that enforces it. The subjects above go into detail: how tokens work, what is and is not allowed, what we check, and the risk of joining at all.
Your site is crawled and checked before it joins. A real business, one clear subject, clean outbound links. Roughly half of applicants do not pass.
Submit something you are already writing: a title and summary, or the whole piece.
The system proposes 3 to 5 matches, each showing the exact passage it would support and a proposed anchor. Decline all of them if none are right.
Place the link, publish, paste the URL. We fetch the page and check it. If it fails, you get the specific reason and can fix it.
Links that pass our checks earn tokens, more for citing a smaller site than an equal one.
Tokens buy links pointing at your pages, matched the same way. Stop giving and your giving score falls until you cannot receive.
