If you want to buy backlinks without gambling on your site's reputation, the real questions are which sites to pick, what a fair price looks like and how to keep the risk with Google under control. LinkBooster lists 227,736 sites with the price, authority and traffic visible before you order, so you can compare options on facts rather than promises. This page walks you through the process, the real price ranges, the selection criteria and the risks.
The process is simpler than most advertisers expect. You create a free account (no subscription is needed to browse the catalog or place an order), filter the link building marketplace by topic, country, language and authority, and shortlist the sites that fit your niche. Each listing shows authority, estimated traffic, topic, country, language, price and link type before you commit, so there is nothing to guess.
Next comes the article. You can supply your own text, or order the writing as an option. Either way, the piece should read like a real editorial article: useful to the site's audience, with your link placed where it makes sense in context rather than forced into a paragraph. Pay attention to the anchor text and the target page you choose, as both affect how natural the result looks.
Then the publisher publishes. The announced timeline is between 7 and 30 days. Your payment is held by the platform until the article goes live, and if nothing is published within the deadline, you are refunded. Once the article is online, check the link yourself: the page is indexable, the URL matches your order, the anchor is correct and the link attribute is the one you agreed on. The how it works page details each stage, and the complete guide to buying backlinks goes deeper on the strategy side.
Prices on the platform are shown excluding VAT and include the article. The index below gives the 25th percentile, the median and the 75th percentile by authority level (DR or DA). For sites at 0–19, the range is 69 / 139 / 335 € across 162,709 sites. At 20–29 it is 76 / 152 / 375 € (17,874 sites), and at 30–39 it is 107 / 257 / 575 € (15,921 sites).
Moving up, 40–49 shows 119 / 257 / 699 € (10,524 sites), and 50–59 shows 81 / 195 / 500 € (12,321 sites). That second band is a useful reminder that authority is not the only factor, since the median there is lower than in the band below. At 60–69 the range becomes 119 / 410 / 1,377 € (3,939 sites), and at 70+ it reaches 335 / 1,224 / 3,378 € (4,448 sites).
Authority is only part of the story. Country matters a lot: the median price is 105 € in France (124,916 sites), 191 € in the US (14,054 sites), 238 € in Great Britain (5,607 sites), 288 € in Spain (5,011 sites) and 350 € in Canada (2,357 sites). Italy sits at 432 € (6,846 sites), the Netherlands at 500 € (7,187 sites) and Germany at 731 € (13,715 sites). Cheaper medians exist too, such as Ukraine at 47 € (5,398 sites), Czechia at 99 € (2,629 sites), Poland at 122 € (8,871 sites) and India at 123 € (4,640 sites).
Beyond authority and country, price depends on the topic (finance or health usually cost more than general lifestyle), the real audience of the site, the link type and whether you order the writing. Each publisher sets their own price. For a method to estimate what a link is worth, see our article on 2026 backlink prices, and the pricing page for an overview. Pro plan members get 10% off every purchase.
Topical relevance comes first. A link from a site that covers your subject, or a closely related one, carries more meaning for search engines and more value for readers than a link from a generic site. The catalog has dedicated pages for 16 topics, such as business, tech and IT, finance or travel, which makes this first filter quick.
Next, look at traffic. Authority scores are third-party estimates and can be inflated, whereas an audience that actually visits the site is harder to fake. Estimated traffic is shown on every listing, but also open the site: does it publish regularly, are the articles original, is the design maintained, and does the traffic come from the country and language you target? A site with a decent DR but no visible audience is a warning sign.
Then check a few technical and editorial signals. Is the site indexed (a simple site: search will tell you)? How many outbound links does a typical article carry? A page stuffed with links to unrelated sites dilutes the value of yours. Also verify that country and language match your market, which matters especially for international campaigns, as explained in our piece on international SEO and backlinks.
Finally, put authority in perspective. DR, DA and similar scores are useful for sorting, not for deciding alone. Our guide to SEO metrics explains which ones are worth your attention. When in doubt, a relevant mid-authority site with real readers is usually a safer choice than a high-authority site with no clear topic.
Yes, there is a risk, and it is better to say so plainly. Google's guidelines treat links bought to manipulate rankings as a violation of its spam policies. The company's stated approach is to neutralize such links in most cases, but manual actions against sites with clear patterns of manipulation remain possible. The risk is not zero, but it depends heavily on how you buy.
Google asks that paid links be marked with rel="sponsored" (or nofollow). A sponsored attribute is honest and fully compliant, though it is generally considered to pass less ranking signal than a standard link. Many advertisers still value those links for visibility, referral traffic and brand mentions, and mix both types in a balanced profile. What you choose should depend on your risk tolerance.
Over-optimized anchor text is the most common self-inflicted mistake. If most of your links use the exact commercial keyword, the pattern looks artificial. Mix branded anchors, URLs, generic phrases and a limited number of keyword anchors. Our article on anchor text distribution gives practical proportions to aim for.
Avoid private blog networks and link farms: sites that exist only to sell links, cover every topic, show no real audience and carry dozens of outbound commercial links. Our guide to spotting PBNs and toxic links lists the warning signs. Buying a small number of relevant links on real sites, at a steady pace, is a very different practice from mass-buying cheap links, and no one can promise a given ranking either way.
A sponsored article is written for you (or by you) and published on a media site or blog, clearly as partner content. It offers control over the angle, the anchor and the target page. You can browse these on the page dedicated to sponsored posts on vetted media. A guest post is similar in form but is usually presented as a contribution by an expert author, and works best when the content is genuinely useful. Our guest posting guide covers how to make one rank, and the comparison of sponsored content and guest posting helps you choose.
A third option is a link insertion in an existing article. The page already exists, may already have traffic and age, and you add a contextual link. It is often quicker, but make sure the surrounding text is truly relevant, otherwise the link looks bolted on.
On the attribute side, dofollow passes ranking signals normally, nofollow does not by default, and sponsored explicitly declares a paid or commercial relationship. The link type is displayed on each listing, so you know what you are buying. For a broader view of listings by format, see buy links and guest posts.
One-off orders suit a specific need: a launch, a few pages to support, a test on a new market or a limited budget. You choose each site, pay per article and keep full flexibility. It is also the best way to get familiar with the platform before committing to more.
If you want a steady pace, the link building subscription spreads the effort over time. Essentiel includes 2 articles per month from DR 20+ sites for 329 € excl. VAT per month. Croissance includes 4 articles per month from DR 30+ for 1,090 € excl. VAT, and Autorité includes 6 articles per month from DR 40+ for 2,290 € excl. VAT. The commitment is 6 or 12 months.
In every plan, the list of sites is validated by you before any purchase, and you receive a monthly report. A regular rhythm tends to look more natural than bursts of links, and it fits the approach described in our link building strategy for 2026. For smaller budgets, the small business plan is a good starting point.
If you own a site yourself, you can also sell links and guest posts: registration is free, you set your own price, you can refuse any order, and you are paid after publication.
Google's guidelines consider links bought to manipulate rankings a spam practice, and manual actions are possible in cases of obvious manipulation. In most cases, Google says it simply ignores such links. Reduce the risk by choosing relevant real sites, varying anchors, using rel="sponsored" where appropriate and avoiding PBNs.
On LinkBooster, the median price, article included and excluding VAT, goes from 139 € for sites at DR/DA 0–19 to 1,224 € for sites at 70+. The interquartile range is wide, for example 119 to 1,377 € at 60–69. Country, topic and link type also change the price.
There is no universal number. It depends on your niche, your current profile and your budget. A slow, steady rhythm is generally safer than a burst, and our subscription plans start at 2 articles per month, going up to 4 or 6 for more competitive markets.
Publication takes between 7 and 30 days after the order. Ranking effects, if any, depend on indexing, competition and the quality of the link, and no one can guarantee a timeline or a position. Evaluate results over several months, not days.
Links are placed in articles intended to stay online, but the site owner controls the page, so permanence cannot be absolutely guaranteed. Check the link after publication and monitor it periodically. Choosing established sites with real editorial activity lowers the chance of removal.
