Sell links and guest posts on your site: orders from vetted advertisers, your price, full editorial control, guaranteed payment.
If you want to sell links on your website, the practical question is how to do it without losing control of your content or exposing your domain. LinkBooster is a marketplace where advertisers browse a catalogue of 227736 sites and order guest posts and sponsored articles. Publishers list their site for free, set their own price and get paid once the article is live. Here is how it works, what you can earn and how to keep your SEO healthy.
The process is short. You create a publisher account, which is free, and add your site with its main details: topic, country, language and the type of link you offer. You then set your price. LinkBooster does not impose a rate card, so you decide what a published article on your site is worth. If you want the full overview, the how it works page covers both the buyer and publisher sides, and the dedicated page to sell sponsored posts on your website goes deeper on the publisher flow.
Once your site is in the catalogue, advertisers can find it and place an order. Each site listing shows the buyer the authority score, estimated traffic, topic, country, language, price and link type before they order. Because those details are visible upfront, the orders you receive tend to match your site better, and you spend less time on irrelevant requests.
You then review the order. You can accept it or decline it. If you accept, the article is written either by the advertiser, who supplies a ready-to-publish text, or by a writer ordered as an option on the buyer's side. You check the content, publish it and the order is validated. Payment is held by the platform until publication and released to you after the article goes live. If an article is not published within the agreed window, the client is refunded, so publish promptly. Publication times announced on the platform range from 7 to 30 days.
The catalogue is wide: sites across 16 topics and 69 countries each have a dedicated page, and the platform is available in 8 languages. That breadth means a niche blog and a general news site can both find buyers. What matters is that the site is real: it has an actual audience, original editorial content and a coherent topic. A site built only to host paid links is the opposite of what advertisers, and Google, want to see.
Traffic and authority are the first things buyers look at, but they are not the only signals. A site with modest numbers and a tightly focused audience can be more attractive to an advertiser in the same niche than a larger generic site. Topic fit is what makes a link relevant to readers, and relevance is also what makes it look natural to search engines. If you are unsure how to read these indicators, the guide on Trust Flow, Domain Authority and DR explains what each metric measures and where it falls short.
Quality standards also protect you. Advertisers who browse thematic pages, such as backlinks by topic and country, compare sites side by side. A site that is regularly updated, readable and not overloaded with ads or outbound links stands out in that comparison and is better placed to justify a higher price.
Earnings depend on your authority, your topic and your country, and the catalogue gives useful benchmarks. The figures below are the prices advertisers see, article included and excluding VAT, shown as 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile by DR or DA band. For 0–19 the range is 69 / 139 / 335 € across 162709 sites. For 20–29 it is 76 / 152 / 375 € (17874 sites), and for 30–39 it is 107 / 257 / 575 € (15921 sites). The 40–49 band shows 119 / 257 / 699 € (10524 sites), and 50–59 shows 81 / 195 / 500 € (12321 sites).
Higher up, the spread widens. Sites at 60–69 show 119 / 410 / 1377 € (3939 sites), and sites at 70+ show 335 / 1224 / 3378 € (4448 sites). Note that the median does not always climb in a straight line: the 50–59 band sits below 40–49, which shows that authority alone does not set the price. Topic, traffic, language and the publisher's own positioning all play a part.
Country matters too. Median prices in the catalogue are 105 € for France (124916 sites), 191 € for the United States (14054 sites), 731 € for Germany (13715 sites), 122 € for Poland (8871 sites) and 500 € for the Netherlands (7187 sites). Italy sits at 432 € (6846 sites), Great Britain at 238 € (5607 sites), Ukraine at 47 € (5398 sites) and Spain at 288 € (5011 sites). India is at 123 € (4640 sites), the Czech Republic at 99 € (2629 sites) and Canada at 350 € (2357 sites).
Treat these as reference points, not promises. Orders depend on demand for your niche and on your price compared with similar sites. For a broader view of how advertisers estimate value, see the pricing overview and the guide on 2026 backlink prices.
Selling links should not mean giving up your editorial line. On LinkBooster you can refuse an order, whether the topic does not fit your audience, the brief looks promotional in a way you dislike, or the target page is questionable. Declining costs nothing, and it is often the best way to protect the reputation of your site.
You also decide how sponsored content is labelled. Many publishers add a clear mention such as "sponsored article" or "partner content" at the top of the post, which keeps the relationship with readers honest. On the technical side, you can tag paid links with rel="sponsored", the attribute Google recommends for advertising and paid placements. It tells search engines that the link is paid, and it is the safest way to stay within Google's guidelines.
The trade-off is worth stating plainly. A rel="sponsored" link passes less ranking value than a standard followed link, and some advertisers specifically want a followed link. Link type is shown on each site listing, so buyers know what they are ordering. Choose the policy you are comfortable with, apply it consistently and do not accept orders that ask you to hide the commercial nature of the content.
Selling links carries a real risk. Google's guidelines treat links bought or sold to manipulate rankings as a violation, and sites that sell too aggressively can lose visibility. The risk is not inevitable, though. It rises with volume, poor relevance and a lack of transparency. A few paid articles a month on topics your site already covers, clearly labelled and properly tagged, is a very different footprint from dozens of unrelated posts.
Start with relevance. Accept only topics that your audience could plausibly read, and keep the ratio of sponsored to organic content low so that the site remains a genuine publication. Check outbound links as well: avoid linking to dubious sites, and think twice about repeated exact-match anchors. The guide on anchor text distribution explains why over-optimised anchors attract attention.
Know the warning signs of a bad link neighbourhood. Sites that sell links indiscriminately to any topic resemble the networks described in the article on spotting PBNs and link farms, and you do not want to look like one. Writing quality is the other safeguard: well-researched articles with real value, as outlined in the guest posting guide, keep readers on the page and justify the placement.
Finally, keep an eye on your own metrics. If you see traffic dips after a run of sponsored posts, slow down and review what you accepted. For a wider look at the monetisation side, the publisher's guide to sponsored posts covers pricing, volume and long-term planning. LinkBooster is published by Novatis Agency.
Yes. Registering your site on LinkBooster is free. You can add your website, set your price and start receiving orders without paying a subscription or listing fee.
You do. As a publisher you set your own price, and advertisers see it on your site listing next to your authority, estimated traffic, topic, country, language and link type. The catalogue's price benchmarks can help you position yourself, but nothing forces you to match them.
You are paid after the article is published. The advertiser's payment is held by the platform until publication, which protects both sides. If the article is not published within the deadline, the client is refunded.
Yes. You can decline any order that does not suit your site, for example an off-topic subject or a brief you consider too promotional. Declining has no cost for you, and it helps you keep a coherent editorial line.
It can if it is done carelessly. Google's guidelines treat paid links meant to manipulate rankings as a violation, so the risk is real. You lower it by keeping volume modest, accepting only relevant topics, labelling content as sponsored and tagging paid links with rel="sponsored".
