FAQ: how publication exchange works (credits instead of cash)

What is PressBay (in one sentence)? +

Can I withdraw credits to my bank account? +
No. Credits are an internal currency in PressBay — they cannot be withdrawn as cash. You can only spend them inside the platform on publications from other users (with a link to your site). You publish on your site -> you get credits. You want links to your sites -> you spend credits on publications with other users.
Is PressBay a link exchange system? +
PressBay is a modern link exchange system based on article publications. Instead of paying cash, you earn credits by publishing other users' content on your site, then spend them on publications with other publishers — with a link to your domain.

If you are looking for free links in the sense of "no bank transfers" and without constant cold emailing, PressBay helps you build visibility through controlled publication exchange between real websites. Publishers keep full control over content approval and linking rules.
