Publishing and Magic Links

Publishing and Magic Links

Two sides of the same coin:

• Publishing: post your own generated articles to WordPress sites.
• Magic links: pay a service to place posts that link to your pages, straight from striking-distance rows.

Both feed the same backlink pipeline, so every placement is checked and measured the same way.

Publishing

Top menu → Research → Publishing (/publishing).

Connecting a WordPress site

Uses the WordPress REST API with an application password. No plugin and no OAuth app.

1. In WordPress: Users → Profile → Application Passwords → create one.
2. In OpenGSC /publishing: add a connection (site URL, username, application password) and set its type:
   • own satellite: a site in your network;
   • money site: the site you're promoting;
   • external platform: someone else's site where you publish.

Publishing a post

From SEO Tools → History, click a text/landing row → Publish. Pick connections and optionally adapt for the platform (AI): the Publish respin task, one cheap call per platform that changes tone and length while facts, structure and links stay fixed.

Built-in footprint protection:

• Respin is only allowed for external platforms. Own satellites each get their own post, because one text respun across your network is a ready-made footprint for Google.
• Uniqueness gate: at send time the post is compared against every post already published from this instance (trigram similarity). Near-duplicates are blocked. Paraphrases pass, and the UI says so honestly.
• Jitter window: publications spread over a configurable window instead of one batch. A deferred post that hits the gate raises an alert.
• Pre-publish review shows the anchor distribution across the network and warns about shared title skeletons or hour-clustering.

Every successful publish becomes a backlink donor (source: self) in the target site's Backlinks: placement checker, event history and toxicity included. The target is the URL you give, else the first money-site link in the post, else the site root.

Magic links

Top menu → Research → Magic links (/magiclinks). Buy paid posts through FieldLink or 369Team.

1. Add the service tokens in Settings → SERP & scraping → Link purchase (or OPENGSC_FIELDLINK_TOKEN / OPENGSC_MAGIC369_TOKEN in .env).
2. On a Potential (striking distance) row, press Buy. The query and URL are pre-filled. Select several rows for one order.
3. The buy window quotes before it charges. FieldLink re-checks the price when paying, and a moved price returns an error instead of a surprise deduction. The provider with the larger balance is preselected.
4. Edit each anchor or use a preset (exact / diluted / URL / domain). A batch of identical exact-match commercial anchors is an over-optimization footprint, so pick deliberately.

Options: articles priced by volume tier (+30% bonus per row) or homepage links at a flat price (+20% bonus, optional surrounding text).

Afterwards:

• Bought query + URL pairs are marked in striking distance.
• /magiclinks shows progress, indexing state and a CSV of publication URLs.
• Each order appears as a purple marker on the site's traffic chart and annotations, with before/after numbers from your own Search Console data. "Did the links work?" gets a factual answer.

Purchases are deliberately not available over MCP: an agent holding a token must not be able to spend your balance.
