💬 Telling us why something isn't a fit

“Bad fit” can mean six completely different things. A row can fail because the source site is low quality, or because you already have that link, or because the dead link wasn’t actually dead. A bare thumbs-down can’t tell those apart. The reason picker can.

When you click 👎, a short menu pops up: Why isn’t this a fit? Pick the closest reason. The model uses your choice to suppress different things in future picks.

• 🧱 Quality issues with the site or page 👉 the source domain or page is low quality. Future picks deprioritize similar sites.
• 🔗 Source already links to my site 👉 they’re already linking to you, just not from this page. Future picks avoid sources you already have a relationship with.
• 🪞 A different page of mine would fit better 👉 the topic is right, the wrong page of yours was matched. The model tries other pages of yours next time.
• ✅ The dead link isn’t actually broken 👉 false positive on the destination. Removed from your queue and re-checked.
• ⚔️ Source competes with me 👉 the site is a direct competitor. Future picks avoid that domain.
• 🚫 Not relevant 👉 the topical match was off. The matcher recalibrates what counts as on-topic for your site.
• 📝 Other 👉 use this when none of the above fits. Counts as a generic negative signal without a specific reason.

You can change the reason later by clicking 👎 again on the same row.

Tips 💡

• 🎯 The more specific your reason, the faster the shortlist tightens. “Quality issues” and “Source competes with me” in particular have a big effect on which domains appear next.
• 🔁 Picking “A different page of mine would fit better” a lot is a signal to revisit your high-Overall pages in Content Analysis and confirm they cover the topics you actually want pitched.
• 🧹 “The dead link isn’t actually broken” is rare but worth catching. We re-verify on your behalf so other users don’t see the same false positive.
