Frequently asked Questions

Help for content creators

• I received an email saying my blog can't be indexed?

  Pipeline may not be able to index your blog correctly right from the start.
  
  This may be due to the configuration or hosting of the server, individual plugins or themes of your blog.
  
  The following system requirements are recommended for WordPress:

  • at least PHP 7.0 (recommended: 7.2+)
  • at least mySQL 5.6 (recommended: 5.7+)
  • WP-JSON must be enabled
• How is the commission made up and according to which criteria is it structured?

  The commission aspect is designed for the medium term and applies to special topics and in the form of articles made available exclusively for pipeline. The conceptual design is nearing completion.
• Will there be any costs?

  Indexing the blog is not associated with any costs. Rather, you benefit from the increasing reach and the development of new target groups and readers - and that completely free of charge and without any additional effort for you!
• If my posts show up in pipeline, are they considered duplicate content?

  No, your posts will not be recognized as duplicate content even if they appear on Pipeline.
• To what extent do links in posts still work?

  The indexing of the blog has no influence on the links stored in the posts. These will continue to be usable.
• How does monetization take place (e.g. subscriptions, advertising, ...)?

  The finalization of the monetization concept is currently being worked on at full speed. As soon as this is final, further information on this will be announced.

  At pipeline, a wide range of topics are addressed and provided with content. Whether sport, lifestyle, living, business and finance or fashion and music: at pipeline everyone will find exactly the topics and articles that may contain information that is of interest to them. Accordingly, there are a large number of blogs that are involved in the project - all selected so that the quality of the contributions like yours is given.
• Does reading the posts affect the performance of my site?

  Indexing your blog with pipeline has no negative impact on your performance. Your blog is always read at night, and this happens so quickly that it has no impact on your blog.
  In fact, your indexing can have a positive impact on your reach, as it opens up potential new readers and target groups that you and are convinced of your content.
• Are users who read one of our articles linked to our site?

  The article itself then appears on the corresponding blog and as an article in the app pipeline. The users of the app read the post primarily in the app, but can be forwarded to the profile of the author or the blog via a link. Through these links among each other, the connection as well as the reach is mutually increased, so that all sides benefit from an integration.
• I want to have my blog taken out immediately.

  It is possible to exclude your blog from indexing at any time. However, this can take up to 48 hours until this is also technically implemented. If this is the case, we would be happy to talk openly about why you decided against indexing.
• Can I withdraw my consent at any time?

  If for any reason during the course of our cooperation you decide against indexing - which we would of course find a great pity - we will take it back. However, this can take up to 48 hours.
• What about the source and a link?

  The indexed blog will of course be identified. The author of the post is displayed and highlighted. If you are interested, an example integration can be shown.
• What target group is the app aimed at?

  Due to the wide range of topics covered by pipeline, the app appeals to a particularly large target group. The typical pipeline user is above all tech-savvy. The app is aimed at responsible people who actively deal with new information and want to exchange and network with other people.
• How do I apply for Content Creator Permission?

  To become a content creator and post content on pipeline, you need creator status. You can apply for Creator Status in the app on your profile. Bloggers and influencers can also contact us personally to be verified.
