Spread, commission, and swap points — where to check your trading costs
In preparation
Link Building for Forex & Trading
We identify the firm, instrument, and market before selecting a portal. Campaigns keep CFD product information separate from platform functionality, costs, and order execution.

Portal database
How do we ensure a portal does not create compliance exposure?
We do not select portals on metrics alone. The first question is whether the article concerns the instrument and its risks, or the operational side of the platform. Financial and business portals handle these questions differently.

Portal selection criteria
- 01
Actual instrument
We do not qualify a text on the basis of a commercial product name alone. The client confirms whether the product is a CFD or another instrument and which regulatory rules apply.
- 02
Entity and scope of services
The registry source must correspond to the firm, the market, and the regulated activities described in the article.
- 03
Retail or professional client
Content, warnings, and the landing page reflect the correct client category. We do not promote opting down to a lower level of protection.
- 04
Current costs and risk disclosure
The article links to current documents, and the risk warning is not reduced in prominence — visually or linguistically.
- 05
Publisher policy
The portal confirms it accepts high-risk financial content. Only then do we assess traffic, domain authority, and pricing.
We never select portals based on a single metric alone.
Collaboration paths
What is your audience looking for: firm information or platform guidance?
The first path helps users understand who they are contracting with and what the product actually is. The second covers how the platform operates. Neither path contains investment advice or promises of returns.
Path 01
Entity, CFD classification, and client protection
- Who it's for
- Retail clients researching the investment firm, the actual instrument type, the scope of services offered, and the safeguards that apply to their account.
- What you gain
- Who is the counterparty, where to verify their authorisation, whether the product is a CFD, how it differs from owning the underlying asset, and which client protection measures apply.
- Link destination
- The firm's regulatory page, the relevant registry entry, the instrument factsheet, the risk warning, the client categorisation policy, and service documentation.
- Materials
- Legal entity name, regulator and registry entry, scope of regulated services, target market, instrument types, client categorisation, current risk warning, and the compliance sign-off process.
- Editorial boundary
- The article does not present regulatory authorisation as a guarantee of performance, does not conceal the derivative nature of the product, and does not encourage retail clients to opt up to professional status.
Sample topics
- How to verify a CFD broker in the FCA or CySEC register
- Currency CFD vs. buying currency — how do these transactions differ?
- What does the risk warning on a broker's website actually mean?
Path 02
Platform, costs, and order execution
- Who it's for
- Users who want to understand the interface, cost structure, price sources, execution model, and how order types work — without receiving investment strategy guidance.
- What you gain
- Where to check spread, commission, and swap points; how order execution is described; where price data comes from; and where to find account history and key documents.
- Link destination
- The help centre, cost schedule, order execution policy, instrument specifications, or platform user guide.
- Materials
- Current cost schedule, instrument specifications, execution policy, data sources, platform features, trading hours, technical examples, and document update procedures.
- Editorial boundary
- Feature descriptions do not imply strategy effectiveness, and interface examples are not trading signals or execution price guarantees.
Sample topics
- Spread, commission, and swap — where does a broker publish its costs?
- Market order vs. instant execution — what is the difference?
- How to read an instrument specification on a trading platform

Publication & monitoring
Once approved, we publish and start monitoring indexation.
What's included
What you receive after each publication
Before launch, we create an entity, instrument, and source record. After publication, we deliver URLs and indexation monitoring.
Entity and instrument record
We document the firm, market, registry entry, scope of services, client categories, and instruments. The client confirms all data and its regulatory interpretation.Cost, risk, and source register
Every factual claim is linked to a source document: the risk warning, instrument specification, cost schedule, execution policy, or platform help article.Question map and landing page matrix
We separate firm and product verification from platform operations. Each article links to a page that develops exactly that topic in full.Content, compliance sign-off, and monitoring
The client approves the portal, topic, risk warnings, and final text. After publication, we monitor indexation for 12 months — any replacement portal also goes through the full forex/CFD qualification process.
See if we're the right fit
Send a brief for one client — we'll come back with a portal proposal, role breakdown, and a rough timeline.
Important for this industry
What we will not do without confirmed regulation and broker documentation
- We do not conflate retail CFD trading with purchasing currency or direct participation in the interbank market.
- We do not produce rate forecasts, trading signals, or investment strategies.
- We do not reduce the prominence of the risk warning or separate it from messaging about leverage, costs, and the proportion of accounts that lose money.
- We do not assume that a product's commercial name — perpetual, rolling spot, platform — exempts it from the rules that apply to CFDs.
Jak pracujemy
Entity, instrument, and jurisdiction — three parameters that determine portal selection
Forex and CFD are not the same product
"Forex" is used interchangeably to describe the interbank currency market and retail derivative products. These are not the same thing. When a retail client gains exposure through a CFD, they are not purchasing the underlying currency or asset. Every article we produce names the actual product and explains how it works.
Entity and authorisation before content
Before publication, the client confirms the investment firm, the relevant regulator, the legal basis for providing services in that market, and the scope of regulated activities. TakeLink does not verify authorisation on the client's behalf, but requires a current registry source and does not treat a regulator's logo as proof of authorisation for an entire corporate group.
Risk warning as part of the content, not a footnote
CFD marketing aimed at retail clients requires a prominent risk warning and must reflect product intervention measures — including leverage limits, margin close-out rules, negative balance protection, and the prohibition on inducements. A product's commercial name does not exempt it from these requirements.
Instrument information, separate from platform and costs
We separate content about the entity and instrument from content about the platform, costs, and order execution. Business and macroeconomic content is used solely to explain data sources and market concepts — not to provide rate forecasts, trading signals, or the appearance of a proven strategy.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers covering investment firm verification, CFD classification, risk warnings, costs, platform content, and publication logistics.
Forex and trading covers investment firms, derivative instruments, trading platforms, cost structures, and order execution. Financial services covers credit and lending. Crypto covers CASP-regulated services and blockchain. Each area has its own registries, risk frameworks, and required documentation.
No. In retail broker offerings, exposure to a currency pair is typically gained through a CFD, with no delivery of the underlying currency. That is why we confirm the actual instrument before writing a single line of content.
We need the legal entity name, market, regulator, registry entry, scope of regulated services, client categories, instrument list, and pages containing the relevant documents. The client confirms that all information is current and correctly interpreted.
No. We do not create recommendations, signals, strategies, or forecasts of any kind. Content explains the product, its documentation, costs, risks, and platform features.
A commercial product name does not determine regulatory classification. ESMA indicated in 2026 that certain leveraged perpetual contracts may fall within the CFD definition. The client must confirm the classification of each specific product and the applicable product intervention measures.
We explain the types of costs involved and direct readers to the current schedule or instrument specification. We do not present a variable spread as a fixed commitment, and we do not omit commission, swap charges, or other costs that are material to the topic.
For neutral topics covering data sources, central bank publications, and macroeconomic mechanisms. We do not use a macroeconomic context to build rate forecasts or transaction scenarios.
Yes. The client provides the current risk warning appropriate for the entity and the communication, approves how it is presented, and signs off on the complete article. The publisher independently confirms that it accepts the content.
We monitor each publication for 12 months. If an article is not indexed within 60 days, or drops out of the index, we source a comparable portal at no additional cost — and the replacement also goes through the full forex/CFD qualification process.
No. They can bring structure and clarity to content about the firm, instrument, and platform, but they do not guarantee Google rankings, AI citations, account sign-ups, or transaction performance.
