The NOXEL FORGE badge shows visitors that your site is a verified member of the NOXEL FORGE network. While the badge is detected, your site stays public in the partner directory, and paid plans get a 10% to 25% badge discount.
NOXEL checks every badge on the 1st and the 15th of the month. If a badge is missing, a 7-day grace period starts and the site is checked every day; after that the badge is suspended until it is detected again.
Backlink networks are easy to fake. The badge is a public, visible commitment: your site says it belongs to a network where every link is checked and every member has proven the domain it owns. Visitors can click it to discover NOXEL FORGE, and other members know the site is still active, because a badge that disappears is noticed within days.
The badge page gives you a short piece of HTML to paste in the footer of your site, or in any template shown on every page. It loads a small image and a link to NOXEL FORGE; it sets no cookie and runs no tracking script. Once it is in place, the server detects it at the next check and the badge becomes verified. A NOXEL SEO badge is accepted too, so a site already showing its NOXEL SEO score does not need a second badge.
The badge discount applies to the paid plans: 10% on Silver, 15% on Gold, 20% on Platinum and 25% on Diamond, as long as the badge stays verified. If you redesign your site, check that the badge is still in the new footer: a missing badge starts the grace period, and your site leaves the public directory if the badge is not back within 7 days.
