Buy Backlinks Without Buying Junk
Individual placements on vetted sites with real organic traffic. No retainer, no minimum order, and a live URL for everything you pay for.
The Honest Position on Buying Backlinks
Paying for links is against Google's guidelines. It is also, in practice, how a large share of competitive commercial rankings are built. Pretending otherwise does not help you make a good decision, so here is the straight version.
The risk is not in the transaction, it is in the pattern. Google cannot see your invoices. What it can see is a site with no audience, no topical focus and an outbound link profile pointing at fifty unrelated commercial pages — because that pattern is visible from the content itself. An editorial link inside a genuinely relevant article on a site with real search traffic looks exactly like an earned link, because structurally it is one.
That distinction is the entire reason our placements cost $90 rather than $9. The cheap end of the market is cheap because those sites exist only to sell links, which is precisely what makes them worthless and occasionally harmful. Our guide to bad backlinks covers exactly what triggers problems and — just as importantly — when a scary-looking link profile is actually fine.
What We Check Before Placing Anything
Organic traffic, not domain rating. Domain rating is trivially manipulable. A site with real, sustained organic search traffic has something Google demonstrably trusts. This is the first filter and it eliminates most of the market.
Topical coherence. The site's existing content should make a link to you plausible. A general-interest blog that has posted about crypto, dentistry, casinos and roofing in the same month is not a publication, it is a placement service wearing a publication's clothes.
Outbound link profile. If most external links on a site point at commercial pages in unrelated niches, the pattern is obvious to Google too. We check before we buy.
When Buying Makes Sense — and When It Does Not
Buying placements makes sense when you have a specific page stuck just outside the positions that matter and a clear link gap against the pages above it. A handful of good links can close that. It also makes sense when your timeline does not allow for the slower earned approach.
It does not make sense as your entire strategy. A profile made up exclusively of paid placements with no natural links, no brand mentions and no digital PR is a thin foundation. We would rather sell you fewer links alongside a real white hat link building approach, or fold link acquisition into a full SEO package where content and technical work are doing their share.
Before you buy anything, work out how many links you actually need — the method is in how many backlinks do I need, and market-wide pricing is in link building cost.
Our Standards
The reason our prices are higher than the marketplaces.
Traffic-First Vetting
We check real organic search traffic before domain rating. A DR 70 site with no visitors is worth less than a DR 30 site with a real audience.
In-Content Placement
Your link goes inside relevant body copy. Never a footer, sidebar, author bio or "sponsored resources" block.
No Networks, Ever
No PBNs, no expired-domain farms, no sites whose entire outbound profile is paid placements. These are what get sites penalised.
Full Disclosure Report
Live URL, referring domain, DR, organic traffic, target page, anchor text. You see exactly what you paid for.
12-Month Guarantee
If a placement is removed within a year we replace it at no cost. We monitor so you do not have to.
No Minimum Order
Buy one link or twenty. No retainer, no contract, no obligation to continue.
Backlink Pricing by Domain Rating
Placement pricing for niche edits. Guest posts, which include the article, are priced on the guest post service page.
| Referring domain | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DR 20–39 | $90 | per placement |
| DR 40–59 | $180 | per placement |
| DR 60–79 | $350 | per placement |
| DR 80+ | $650 | per placement |

Buying Backlinks: Common Questions
Is it safe to buy backlinks?
Buying links is against Google’s guidelines, and the honest position is that a large share of the SEO industry does it anyway. The practical risk depends entirely on what you buy. Editorial placements on real sites with real audiences are effectively indistinguishable from earned links. Bulk links from networks and link farms are detectable and are what actually triggers problems.
How much does it cost to buy backlinks?
Our placements run from $90 for a DR 20–39 site to $650 for DR 80+. Prices include the placement and, for guest posts, the article. Anything advertised at $5 or $10 a link is coming from a network and is not worth buying at any price.
Can I buy just one or two backlinks?
Yes. There is no minimum order and no retainer required. Many clients buy individually to strengthen one specific page that is stuck on page two.
What is the difference between buying backlinks and link building?
In practice it is a spectrum. Paying a site owner for a placement is buying a link. Pitching a journalist a data study and earning a citation is link building. We do both, and the more competitive your niche the more the mix shifts toward earned placements.
How do I avoid buying bad backlinks?
Check organic traffic rather than domain rating, look at whether the site’s existing content is topically coherent, and check whether its outbound links point to unrelated commercial pages. If a site will link to anything for money, that is visible from its content. Our guide to bad backlinks covers the full checklist.
Do you provide a report of what was placed?
Yes. Every purchase comes with the live URL, referring domain metrics, the target page and the anchor used, plus a 12-month replacement guarantee if the link is removed.
