What Miralinks does well
- A long-established Russian-language marketplace with a large site base.
- A managed "carefree" service is available for a fee.
What users complain about
- Fees on both sides add up.
- Webmasters wait 3 months for earnings.
- Prices are set within ranges controlled by moderators.
How Satelo is different
- One fee, paid once. Buyers pay the publisher's price plus 10%. Publishers keep 100% — no withdrawal fee, unlike Miralinks.
- 12-month guarantee included. A crawler checks the link, its rel attribute and noindex every day; refunds go back to the card, not to a balance.
- Free exchange alongside the marketplace. Sites earn satellites for articles they host and spend them on articles about themselves — no money involved.
- Open Quality Score. Sites are scored only from open data and verified traffic; every component is visible.
