What happens after you submit a link

1. Transparent Submission Pipelines

When you click "Submit" on our Link Submission Form, your URL begins a structured journey designed to verify safety and optimize organic discovery.

Unlike closed platforms that hide their ingestion workflows, Sharely (read overview) maintains a fully transparent review queue. Understanding this lifecycle helps creators prepare high-quality submissions and navigate approval quickly.

2. Phase 1: Automated Intake & Verification

The moment your URL is submitted, automated backend filters initiate first-level technical evaluation:

• Protocol and Syntax Check: Ensures the URL begins with a secure protocol (`https://` or `http://`) and maps to a valid hostname domain.
• Host Platform Auto-Detection: Instantly recognizes platforms such as YouTube, GitHub, Substack, Medium, Discord, Telegram, and Spotify, assigning proper platform badges (see auto-detection details).
• Domain Safety Scan: Cross-references destination servers against commercial blacklists and malware feeds (read safety pipeline details).

3. Phase 2: Automated Safety Verification & Moderation

Once technical format checks pass, your listing is evaluated by our automated safety and policy verification pipeline (read safety pipeline details), verifying:

• Whether the destination page content matches your submitted title and description (see copywriting guide).
• That the page contains no forced downloads, deceptive pop-ups, or spam.
• That the listing category is accurate and helpful (see category list).

4. Phase 3: Approval and Showcase Activation

Upon approval, your link becomes active on our public directory:

1. Your visual 3D poster card appears on our public Explore Page.
2. The link is mapped to its active category feeds.
3. A dedicated, shareable showcase page (`sharely.site/link?id=...`) is generated.
4. Our anti-fraud click engine begins tracking and verifying real visitor clicks (read ranking rules).

5. Phase 4: Monitor Dashboard Analytics

Once public, monitor your link performance directly from your creator dashboard. View real-time verified clicks, adjust description copy, and track your trending positions across sort grids!
