How this service works
Vet a directory, publication or sponsor pitch before paying: domain age (RDAP), Tranco rank, Google News presence, outbound-link dilution, badge and pay-to-play signals, score 0-100 with red flags
Output
A placement quality score from 0 to 100 along with structured red flags covering domain age (via RDAP), Tranco traffic rank, Google News indexation status, outbound-link dilution level, and detected badge or pay-to-play signals — giving a clear go/no-go signal for a paid placement decision.
Example use cases
Vetting a directory listing pitch
“I just got pitched a paid listing on startupdir.com — can you vet it and tell me if it's worth the fee? Check for link dilution, how old the domain is, and whether it shows any pay-to-play red flags. Here's an example listing page: startupdir.com/listings/saas-tools”
Evaluating a sponsored article opportunity
“A publication called growthweekly.io wants $800 for a sponsored article. Can you score them out of 100 and flag anything suspicious — like whether they're in Google News, what their Tranco rank is, and if they look like a link farm?”
Pre-budget sponsor vetting for agency client
“My client is considering sponsoring devblog.net — before we approve the budget, can you run a placement vet on it and tell us the domain age, outbound link dilution, and whether there are any badge or pay-to-play signals we should worry about?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://seo.forgemesh.io/v1/placement-vet?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic pre-purchase vetting of a directory, publication, or sponsorship placement — especially when you want to catch pay-to-play badge schemes, link farms, or low-authority sites before committing budget. Prefer this over generic domain authority tools when you specifically need placement-context signals like outbound-link dilution and pay-to-play detection, not just raw authority metrics.
Side effects
- Domain not found or unresolvable — RDAP lookup fails, partial results returned
- Sample URL on a different domain than the supplied domain — mismatch error or ignored
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — 402 response with payment details
- Domain too new to have meaningful Tranco or RDAP data — low-confidence score returned
- Google News signal unavailable for certain TLDs or paywalled sites
