Who it is for
Buy link inserts the way you buy anything else: with a scope
Procurement asks plain questions. What exactly are we paying for, who delivers it, and how do we check that it arrived? Most link vendors answer with a deck. We answer with a table.
Buying link inserts here is plain. Each row in the marketplace shows Domain Rating, organic traffic, referring domains, niche, language and price. You filter on those columns, put the rows you want in a basket, and nothing is charged until you pay the basket yourself. That gap between choosing and paying is where an approval step fits.
Placements are permanent dofollow. The article is written automatically with one clean link to your page, and it usually goes live within about 24 hours of payment. You can instead give your own instructions or hand over a finished article.
Nothing here promises a ranking. Links are an input, and Google weighs them with a hundred other things. What we can promise is the paper trail, and the scorecard for comparing vendors shows how to test that claim against anyone else.

What it is for
Four things a reviewer can check without trusting us
Each point below can be verified inside the account, which matters more to an auditor than any claim on this page.
A price on every row
Cost scales with donor authority, traffic and niche. You see the figure before the basket, so a quote never arrives as a surprise.
A basket that charges nothing
Add rows, remove rows, send the list to your approver. Money moves only when the basket is paid from your dashboard balance.
A status per order
Paid orders appear under ordered links with their state, so the acceptance routine in our post-delivery runbook has something concrete to tick.
Documents for finance
Invoices and proforma invoices are available, which helps when a client pays you back for the spend.
How it works
From approval request to accepted link
- 1
Write the scope first
Target URL, keyword, budget ceiling and the number of links. The boss memo page has two worked sizes.
- 2
Filter and fill the basket
Sort by price, Domain Rating, traffic or niche. Nothing is charged at this point.
- 3
Top up and pay
Balance is added in the dashboard, not through the API. Pay the basket once the approver signs.
- 4
Accept or query
Open each live placement, compare it against the scope, and log the result.
Checklist
What goes in the purchase request
- One target URL per order, with the exact keyword you want the anchor to carry
- A maximum price per link, not just a total
- The content mode: automatic, your own prompt, or your own finished article
- A named person who approves the basket before payment
- A date for the first acceptance check, about two days after payment
- The place where you will store invoices and screenshots
Where we fit
A good buy for line-item spend, a weak one for strategy
This is a self-serve shop for individual placements. It will not audit your site, write your strategy or watch your rankings, and Ahrefs, Semrush or Moz do those jobs better.
- Good: you know the pages, you want priced placements and a record
- Good: a client asks for itemised spend
- Weak: you want someone else to decide what to build
- Weak: you need a retainer with monthly reporting

Timeline
Dated events a buyer should know about
Link spam update
Google announced it would neutralise unnatural links using SpamBrain, which is why a vendor's old tactics can quietly stop counting.
Core update and new spam policies
The same rollout added policies on scaled content abuse and site reputation abuse, so the donor's own editorial quality matters.
August core update
Another broad reshuffle. Anyone who reported rankings to a client in that month had to explain movement that no link order caused.
March core update
A further core update. Keep a dated note of what you bought and when, so the timeline can be separated from the noise.
FAQ
Questions a finance reviewer asks
- Where can I buy link inserts without a monthly retainer?
- Here. You pay per link from $1, up to about $500 for top domains, with no subscription. Top up the balance in the dashboard, fill a basket, review it and pay. If you do not order, nothing renews and nothing is billed.
- How do I prove to a client what the money bought?
- Export the list from ordered links, keep the invoice, and screenshot each live page. Pair them in one sheet: URL, anchor, price, date live. The client report page shows a layout that avoids spin.
- Does a more expensive link always do more?
- No. Price follows donor authority, traffic and niche, which are inputs, not outcomes. A $5 row on a relevant site can be a better buy than a $300 row in the wrong niche, and neither is a ranking promise.
- Can an AI agent place the order for us?
- It can browse donors and fill the basket over MCP, for example from ChatGPT or Claude, or you can use the REST API with a Bearer key. Paying the basket stays a separate step that a human approves.
- What if the placement is not what we asked for?
- Compare it to your saved scope and raise it through your account page with the order and URL. Our acceptance routine lists what to capture first, so the query is specific.
- Are the links permanent and dofollow?
- Placements are permanent dofollow, and the article carries one clean link to your page. Permanent describes the placement, not Google's treatment of it, which we cannot control and do not promise.
- Which red flags should we look for in any vendor?
- Hidden site lists, guaranteed positions, pricing that needs a call, and reports with no URLs. The red-flag page gives the full set with what a clean answer sounds like.
