Brolinks Site Verification

To verify that you own a site, you can upload a specific TXT file to your server (proving that you have access to the server). Brolinks will check to see that the file is present. If it is, Brolinks considers you a site owner.

Download a file by clicking a button “Download File”.

You can verify ownership of a site by uploading a brolinks.txt to your site. You must have direct access to your server in order to uploading the file.

Upload brolinks.txt to the root directory of your website. (Don't put this file in a sub-folder, it has to be on the main level of your site) IMPORTANT: You must upload this file to the same domain you wish to associate with your Brolinks.

How to make sure it worked:

Open a new browser window.
Go to your website address and include the new file name: http://your_domain_name.com/brolinks.txt
You will see the string of characters that you uploaded on your page displayed in your browser. IMPORTANT: You must put your actual website (domain name) in that address.

How to verify:

Return to Brolinks adding site page.
Click 'verify', which tells Brolinks to go check for this TXT file on your domain. Don't know FTP? Find the person that created your website and ask for their help. Or ask a more experienced friend or colleague to help you. Make sure you have the passwords to access your website. You probably receive an FTP login when you signed up for your hosting service.
Click 'Submit to moderation',

The website will appear in the list of your websites with the status "On moderation"

Wait for your website to be approved. Its status will change to "Active". Additionally, your website will be assigned a rate per article. The rate is calculated by a Brolinks.com expert, depending on various characteristics of your site

RULES FOR WEBMASTERS

Moderation rules

Website's SEO effectiveness and minimal risk of being filtered by search engines are the crucial factors. Websites are evaluated by us with the use of the system which was elaborated within the last several years.

During the moderation process the content of websites is subject to analysis. Behavioural factors of the users and links are checked and the website is thoroughly inspected.

Objective selection criteria are set out below. These criteria are applied to the website prior to a more thorough analysis:

The platform must be indexed by Google. The index must contain sufficient amount of the website's pages but not less than 100.
The website must have mPR from 1 and more (mPR is an analogue of PR. This index is calculated based on Majestic Trust Flow and Majestic Citation Flow).
Satellite websites designed for the sole purpose of earning money on links have very low chance of becoming a part of the system. The reason for that is that there is a high risk that some pages or the whole website can be dropped from the index.
Websites with the content which is mostly not unique (for example, Law of some country, official technical guidelines, etc.) cannot be admitted to Brolinks. Similar to the case describe above, it carries a high risk that some pages or the whole website can be dropped from the index.
Brolinks does not accept websites which hold autolinks.
Presence of the website in DMOZ and Yahoo catalogues is a very big advantage.
Brolinks cannot accept websites which contravene the Law and moral norms of the country where the website is located (porn, hacking, etc.). Brolinks does not accept dating websites either.
The website must not be located on a free third-level domain.
Websites which were designed less than six months ago are not accepted into the system.
Websites which do not have sufficient content for placing surveys (no less than 50% of total number of the articles), for example, online stores without texts, blogs with short texts of less than 2000 symbols, etc. are not accepted into the system.
Websites which are forums by the nature are not accepted into the system.
The system accepts only websites where placement of the surveys is made by the website owners or other persons with the knowledge and consent of the website owners. Breach of this article of the rules might result in the discard of the website from the system at any moment.
Website must not contain intrusive advertising including pop-up, pop-under and click-under. Ad slots must not occupy a large part of the website's pages.
Website content must not breach the rules. Moreover, the website must not reference the resources which contain prohibited content. The list of prohibited content is similar to the one used in campaigns.
Websites belonging to national and local authorities are not accepted into the system as their acceptance is usually made without prior approval from the relevant supervisors.

The decision on the website's moderation can be revised by the administration after the website was accepted or declined. The website can be declined after the moderation if its quality was compromised and failed to meet moderation requirements which were in place at that moment of time.

Confirmation of website and account ownership

Website owner or their authorised representative can work within Brolinks as a webmaster. The owner of the website shall assume all responsibility in compliance with the rules.

For the purpose of ensuring that the work within the system is carried out with the consent and permission of the website owner there is an embedded verification procedure which protects the interests of both webmasters and optimisers. It precludes a person who has an access to the website from earning money on Brolinks without the knowledge of the owner. Furthermore, the system significantly reduces the risk that links will be deleted from the website in the future, which is important for the optimiser.

At a certain point in time all websites undergo rights verification procedure. The main verification is made using e-mail indicated in whois information of the domain.

If the website was not verified in due course (30 days, which can be extended if required), the website shall not be allowed to continue its functioning within Brolinks and the advertisers shall receive a refund for all previously published surveys.

General provisions of the placement

Links are placed permanently. They shall not be deleted except when it is done due to refund, when the linked website is no longer available (strictly upon condition that the administration is notified of this event), or upon request of the optimiser. Unauthorised deletion of links results in blocked account.
Links are placed only in the main sections of the website which can be accessed from the main menu. Placing links in the sections hidden from users and designed specifically for search engines is prohibited.
Links must be placed on the pages where placement (either manual or automatic) of paid links is not made and not planned to be made.
One page of the website can contain only one single material from Brolinks (compliance with this clause is automatically checked by the system when a survey is uploaded).
Materials shall not be placed in forums, comments to blog posts, comments to photos or articles and also in other sections where the content can be added by other visitors of the website.
It is prohibited to place links in the content which is not unique. The only exception from this rule is the event when the advertiser agrees to place a link in the article which is not unique or when the website is a primary source and Google search places the website with the article above competitors.
The number of symbols in the text where the link is placed must not be less than 1500 symbols (including spaces).
Hiding links from Google systems with the use of robots.txt, meta tags, nofollow attribute, cloaking or any other method is prohibited.
All endeavours shall be made to place links in a maximally relevant content when such content is available on the website, thereby making optimiser's link look more natural. If the website holds no article which is relevant to the link, the link can be placed in any article.
Placing any type of links must meet the campaign's task conditions. If the campaign task contravenes the rules of the system it must be rejected and the administration shall be notified about the violation (advertiser cannot see the text and identity of the person who lodges a complaint). The administration shall take steps to correct the task.
