Frequently Asked Questions

Help for Content Creators

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

  It can happen that pipeline cannot properly index your blog from the start.
  
  This can 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 composed and what criteria does it consist of?

  The aspect of the provision is medium-term oriented and applies to special topics and in the form of articles exclusively provided for the pipeline. The conception is close to completion.
• Are there costs coming up for me?

  Indexing the blog is free of charge. On the contrary, you benefit from increased reach as well as the exploration of new target groups and readers - all for free and without any extra effort on your part!
• If my posts are displayed in the pipeline, do they count as duplicate content?

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

  Indexing the blog does not affect the embedded links in the posts. These will still be usable.
• How is monetization (e.g. subscriptions, advertising, etc.) achieved?

  Currently, the monetization concept is being finalized with great effort. Once this is final, further information will be announced here.
• Which blogs, platforms, etc. are still on board and involved?

  At pipeline, a wide range of topics are addressed and provided with content. Whether it's sports, lifestyle, living, business and finance or fashion and music: at pipeline everyone can find exactly the topics and articles that can contain interesting information for them. Accordingly, there is a variety of blogs participating in the project - all selected so that a high quality of contributions like yours is given.
• Does reading the posts affect the performance of my site?

  Indexing your blog on pipeline has no negative impact on your performance. Your blog is read out at night, and this happens so quickly that it has no effect on your blog. Rather, your indexing can have positive effects on your reach, as potential new readers and target groups can be opened up who are convinced by you and your content.
• Will users who read one of our articles be linked to our site?

  The article itself then appears on the corresponding blog as well as an article in the app pipeline. Although users of the app primarily read the post in the app, they can be redirected to the author's or blog's profile via a link. By linking each other, the connection and reach are mutually increased, so that all sides benefit from the integration.
• I want to take my blog down immediately.

  It is always possible to exclude your blog from indexing again. However, this can take up to 48 hours to implement technically. Should this be the case, we would appreciate an open exchange as to why you decided against indexing.
• Can I revoke my consent at any time?

  Should you for any reason decide against indexing during our collaboration – which we would find very regrettable – we will take it back. This may take up to 48 hours.
• What about the source citation and a link?

  The indexed blog will of course be marked. The author of the post will be displayed and highlighted. If interested, an example embedding can be shown.
• Which target group is the app aimed at?

  The wide range of topics covered by pipeline makes the app particularly appealing to a large target group. The typical pipeline user is especially tech-savvy. The app is aimed at self-responsible people who actively engage with new information, exchange ideas and network with others.
• How do I apply for Content Creator permission?

  To become a content creator and post content on pipeline, you need the Creator Status. You can request the Creator Status in the app on your profile. In addition, bloggers and influencers can contact us directly to get verified.
