For site owners
Publish niche-matched articles on your site. You approve every one.
Other Vupie customers need articles published on sites in their niche. Vupie researches and writes the piece, reviews it on a model from a different vendor, and sends it to you with its citation list and quality score attached. Reading it takes about two minutes because the sources come with it. Approve or decline. Hosting the link earns credits at your site's tier rate.
Listing a site is free and takes about five minutes. Closed beta: we onboard publishers in waves.
Before an article reaches you
What is checked before an offer arrives.
Every article you accept sits on your domain, under your name, and counts toward how search engines read the rest of the site. The checks therefore happen before the article is offered to you.
Below-threshold drafts are refused, not offered
Each draft is scored against its own sources before it is offered. Sections below threshold are rewritten, up to twice. An article that still fails is refused and never reaches your queue, so declining is about fit rather than about quality.
The citation list travels with the draft
Each statistic points at the named source it came from, with a minimum of two primary sources per article. Review runs on a model from a different vendor than the one that wrote the draft, and claims the sources do not support are rewritten or removed. You can check any line in seconds.
AI images carry provenance metadata
Generated images are written out with IPTC DigitalSourceType metadata, so the provenance travels with the file. You choose how the article discloses AI involvement on your site.
How it works
List a site, review offers,
approve, publish.
List your site
Verify ownership with a DNS record, then set your terms: the niches you accept, posts per month, your anchor policy and your minimum credit rate.
Review what arrives
A researched article with its citation list, its quality score and the reason it was matched to you. Because the sources are attached, checking it takes about two minutes.
Approve or decline
Publish through your CMS connection or let Vupie publish it. Declining costs nothing and does not affect the offers you get next.
Earn credits
Credits land in your ledger at your site's tier rate. They roll over, and you spend them on placements and articles for your own sites.
Auto-accept
Auto-accept inside
rules you set.
Auto-accept places articles automatically inside boundaries you define: the niches you allow, a minimum credit rate, a maximum number of posts per month, and your anchor policy. Anything outside those rules waits for your decision.
The rules can change at any time, and the whole thing can be paused. Most publishers review the first ten articles by hand, read the scores and the citation lists, and switch auto-accept on after that.
Auto-accept rules
ActiveOffers inside your rules place automatically. Everything else waits for you.
Rules
What never enters your queue.
Four rules applied to every offer, on every site, at any price.
Excluded niches
Adult, gambling, illegal, CBD and cannabis, and gray-hat niches are excluded from the network outright, at any price, for any buyer.
Off-topic articles
Matching runs on niche and language, and the match score is shown on every offer before you decide.
Unsourced drafts
Every article arrives with its citation list and a minimum of two primary sources, reviewed against those sources on a second vendor's model. The score is on the offer.
Silent deductions
The rate card is public and the credits shown on an offer are the credits your ledger receives. Nothing is deducted afterwards.
What a placement earns
Credits at your site's tier rate.
A Tier 1 site earns 5 credits per hosted link, a Tier 4 site 1. The tier is a composite score recomputed weekly from estimated organic traffic and its six-month trend, spam signals, outbound link load, indexation health and site age. Domain Rating is one input and never decides on its own.
Credits are not redeemable for money. They pay for placements and articles on your own sites, they roll over, and the Publisher plan is free and includes three articles a month. The article is always part of the offer, so nothing is billed to you for the writing.

Tiers set the credit rate.
Every site in the network has a tier. The tier sets what a hosted link earns and what receiving one costs, and higher-tier sites are matched with each other first. The rate card is public and applies the same way to every site.

Eligibility is checked the same way for every site: verified ownership, a regular publishing history, articles in the sitemap, no hard paywall, indexation, spam signals, and a content-quality review repeated quarterly. Sites that decay after joining are suspended from placement until they recover.

FAQ
Questions we get.
No. Credits accumulate in your ledger, roll over and do not expire. Spend them on placements and articles for your own sites, or leave them. The quality and matching rules are the same either way, and credits are never redeemable for money.
Yes. Edits are yours to make before publishing, and the citation list comes with the draft so you can check any claim first. It is your domain, and every word that appears on it stays under your control.
Pause or delist at any time. Published articles remain yours to keep or remove. There is no exit fee and no wind-down period.
You choose per placement whether the link is tagged sponsored or left standard. A sponsored tag follows search-engine guidelines. A standard link passes ranking signals and carries the risk that comes with that, which we state rather than hide. Either way the network enforces niche relevance, per-site caps, no reciprocal pairs, at most two placements between any two sites in twelve months, and daily verification with refund and replacement when a link fails.

What happens after
you list a site.
Verification takes about five minutes. Offers then arrive with the article, its sources and its score, and you decide on each one in about two minutes. Credits land in your ledger at your tier rate. Vupie is in closed beta, so registration joins the waitlist.
