How it works
Safety & anti-footprint
Link probability, anchor diversity, and why satellites must look independent.
Updated 2026-07-28
Why this exists
A large set of sites that only exist to push traffic can look like a private blog network. Webhub’s default behaviour is built to reduce that footprint. These rules are product constraints, not optional tips.
Link probability
Only about 30% of articles (configurable per linking policy) include a link to your main site. The rest are pure informational content. That keeps the graph from screaming “every page points home.”
Early in a satellite’s life, gates can require a minimum article count and age before main-site links appear at all.
Anchor diversity
When a link is placed, anchor text rotates across styles — for example:
- Branded (your product or site name)
- Generic (“learn more”, “this guide”)
- Naked URL
- Descriptive (natural phrase, not exact-match keyword stuffing)
Exact-match commercial keywords as anchors are avoided on purpose.
Independent-looking satellites
Each satellite should feel like its own small site:
- Different visual theme / template variant
- Different author persona
- Distinct content angle within the niche
Shared infrastructure may still exist under the hood; the published experience is what search engines and users see.
Honest expectations
No tool can guarantee immunity from algorithm changes. Quality content, restrained linking, and gradual growth improve the odds. If something is not shipped yet (for example advanced GSC-driven freeze loops), we mark it as coming soon rather than promising it here.
