The Content Library
Updated · First published
Content library holds "Published Guest Posts that Rankbench has confirmed are still live."
What earns a place
One thing: the article was published and its live page passed the check.
That means the page was fetched, the agreed links were found, and the wording matched. An article that was approved but never published is not here. An article that went live with the link stripped out is not here either, which is the point.
Nothing is added by hand.
The table
Each row is a published article with its destination, its author, and its verification details. Search covers title, author and domain, with a status filter beside it.
On a narrow screen it scrolls sideways rather than dropping columns.
When it is empty
"No published articles yet", with "Verified Guest Posts appear here after their live pages pass Rankbench checks." With two ways on: start a guest post, or open your list to see what is in flight.
An empty library with several articles in review is normal. Nothing arrives until a live page passes.
Who sees what
The library follows your account. With a role in a workspace you see the workspace's articles, which is what an editor or a site owner wants. Without one you see your own, which is what a guest author wants.
What it is actually for
Two things, and the second is the one people underrate.
It is your proof of work. A list of articles, on named sites, each confirmed live on the open web, is a stronger thing to show a prospective client than a spreadsheet of links you assembled yourself.
And it is your early warning. Articles here are the ones being watched. If one of your links disappears from a page months later, you find out, because the checking does not stop when the article is verified.
Where to go next
Tracking your guest posts covers everything not yet here.
Still stuck?
Open Rankbench and the page this article describes — most screens explain themselves as you go.
