How JungleUp works
The JungleUp platform is intuitive. You'll have no trouble navigating the website. Even if you have no experience of netlinking platforms.
Registration
JungleUp registration is done directly on the website. To begin, you'll need to enter your e-mail address. You must also choose a password to secure access to your user account. Before validating your registration, JungleUp asks you to read the terms and conditions of use, and to tick a box if you agree. Registration takes just a few minutes.
If you decide to register as a publisher, JungleUp allows you to register your websites or blogs as publishers. However, you'll need to prove that you're the owner of these websites before you can make any offers. Once you've confirmed your ownership, you'll be able to create your Strip Express account. In this way, you will receive payment for orders received via the platform.
Link selection
To search for links, go to the site explorer page. Here you'll find filters to help you refine your search. The filters I've used are "country", "category" and "mission type". You can go further by adding other filters to suit the specific needs of your business.
Before selecting the links you wish to purchase, please note the following assess website quality who offer them. In fact, I urge you to take a closer look at the following points:
- Site traffic
- Trust Flow
- Flow quote
JungleUp also lets you create a list of favorite sites. This way, you can consult information about them without having to search for them in the search engine. You can also filter out sites that don't interest you.
Purchase and publication
On JungleUp, you'll have no trouble talking to site owners or agents. This is done via our dedicated chat functionality. But before you can contact a site, you'll need to :
- Verify your JungleUp account by clicking on the validation link sent to you.
- Add your site by specifying its domain name, country and theme
- Return to the "explore sites" sub-menu to contact publishers directly.
You can then buy links without having to go through intermediaries. Don't hesitate to explain to publishers what you really expect from your future collaboration. Purchases are often made by quotation. This will enable you to reach the target audience of your netlinking strategy while keeping your budget under control.
After-sales service
JungleUp has introduced a link tracking system. This feature is designed to help advertisers and publishers evaluate the effectiveness of links on a domain name. It is particularly useful for advertisers. Link tracking enables them to know precisely the impact of their SEO strategy. Publishers, on the other hand, use this option to manage their sales. Since you can contact site editors at any time, don't hesitate to contact them if you have any concerns. The professionals I spoke to during my test seemed to be conscientious. You can therefore hope to reach an amicable agreement, whatever the situation.

JungleUp has a customer support department. You can contact this service from the official JungleUp website via a contact form. This means you can ask the platform's experts for advice if you're having trouble navigating the platform. You'll then receive answers in your e-mail inbox.

JungleUp's weaknesses
During my test, I noticed that there are little information on service prices on JungleUp. As a result, it's impossible to determine in advance what your budget will be for using the platform. I've also noticed that JungleUp lacks certain advanced features for this type of site. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that it's new on the market. I hope the platform's creators will soon remedy this.

Summary: review of the JungleUp platform
My opinion of JungleUp is positive. I appreciate the effort made by its designers to ensure fast, fluid navigation through the platform. I particularly appreciate the fact that publishers and advertisers can trade freely. This, in addition to the freedom to choose trade prices.
As I'm used to testing netlinking platforms, I immediately noticed the absence of certain basic functions. This is the case, for example, with the option of determining the nature of assignments. This can be a disadvantage or an advantage. It all depends on the expectations of each user. Personally, I see it as a plus in terms of collaboration flexibility.
