Pay only for links that stay live
Your credits are held in escrow, 3way verifies the link, and then checks it every day.
If a link goes missing, the placer is notified, their cash-out is blocked, and you can get your credits back. That is our 100% backlink guarantee.

- Emailing the publisher and asking for a refund
With 3way

- Nofollow links are refused at verification
- Every approved link is checked automatically each day
- A Missing links dashboard flags problems for you
- If a link goes missing, the placer restores it or cancels and refunds you
In plain words
What is a protected deal?
Every deal on 3way follows the same protection. When a deal is approved, the payer's credits are reserved. They are released to the placer only after 3way verifies the link, and refunded if the deal is rejected or expires.
Verification checks that the link is live and do-follow. For a guest post, the published URL must also be on the publisher's domain and contain the agreed slug. After that, approved links are checked automatically every day.
This is the 100% backlink guarantee. All links are permanent and do-follow, and if one goes missing, the placer's cash-out stays blocked until they restore it or cancel the deal and refund your credits.
How it works
How a protected deal works
Reserved, verified, then monitored.
- 01
Credits are reserved
When a deal is approved, the payer's credits are reserved and the placer can't touch them yet. If the deal is rejected or expires, they go back to the payer.

The link is verified
3way checks that the link is live and do-follow, and a nofollow link is refused. For a guest post, the published URL must be on the publisher's domain and contain the agreed slug. Then the credits are released.

Links are watched every day
Approved links are checked automatically every day. A link counts as missing if the page is gone, the link was removed, its target changed, it became nofollow, or the domain is parked or unreachable.

Capabilities
Protection that runs by itself
You make the deal once. 3way keeps watching it.
Escrow
Credits are reserved when a deal is approved and released only after verification. If a deal is rejected or expires, they are refunded.
Live and do-follow
A link has to be live and do-follow to pass. Nofollow links are refused at verification.
Guest post URL check
For guest posts, the published URL must be on the publisher's domain and contain the agreed slug.
Daily monitoring
Approved links are checked automatically every day. There is nothing for you to set up.
Missing links dashboard
Every missing link is listed in one place, with a recheck button.
Restore or refund
The placer can recheck once the link is back, or cancel the deal and refund you. Until then their site is hidden from the directory and their cash-out is blocked.
