The GuestPostNow Link-Uptime Guarantee
A backlink is only valuable if it stays live. GuestPostNow backs every placement with a link-uptime guarantee, so if a link you paid for is removed within the guarantee window, you are protected with a prorated refund.
How long links are guaranteed
The guarantee length depends on the order value:
- Orders of $15 or more: the link is guaranteed live for 12 months.
- Orders under $15: the link is guaranteed live for 6 months.
The window is anchored to when the order was completed (delivered and accepted).
What happens if a link is removed
If a guaranteed link is taken down before its window ends, you are entitled to a prorated refund based on how much of the window remains. For example, if a 12-month link is removed at the halfway point, the refund reflects the remaining fraction of the guarantee. This keeps the outcome fair: you are compensated for the time the link was not live.
How we monitor uptime
Placed links are checked automatically over the life of the guarantee. Once a placement is past its guarantee window, it is no longer monitored — the guarantee has been fully served. If you spot a removed link within the window, you can also report it from the order.
What this means for buyers and sellers
For buyers, it means the links you purchase are durable, not disposable. For sellers, it means keeping placements live is part of the deal — removing a link early can trigger a prorated refund against your earnings, so it pays to honor placements for the full window.
Related protections
The uptime guarantee sits alongside escrow and our dispute resolution process — together they cover you from order through the full life of the link.
