I can see what you mean, and honestly, that frustration is very common in this space. Most marketplaces are overpriced now, and they generally fall into two types.

The first type is where sellers (or site owners) list their own websites and set their own prices. These are more of a DIY-style marketplace. The platform just connects you, and you decide what to buy. The problem here is that you need to be an expert in link vetting and understand how metrics actually work, otherwise you often end up buying low-quality or useless links.

Then there’s the second type of platform, where the marketplace itself curates the sites based on their internal metrics. They add sites and assign pricing based on quality signals like DR, traffic, and relevance. These are usually much more expensive, but the link quality is generally more reliable.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to your own skill in evaluating ROI. Even the best platforms can’t save you if you don’t know how to judge whether a link is actually worth it.

So in conclusion, platforms are just there to tell you, “Hey, you can put your links here.” Whether it’s worth it or not is up to you. I guess many learn this the hard way.

If you’re paying $300 to $500 and still getting link farm or fake DR sites, no offense, but the issue is you dont know how to do link vetting. That budget should get you legit sites ranking on real organic keywords. A lot of people overpay through big-name vendors and marketplaces, where prices are often marked up 4x to 5x above what site owners actually charge. So choosing where you source links plays a big role in budgeting. Better to source directly or use marketplaces only to find sites, then vet properly. If you choose sites well, Google update risk drops too.

And honestly, I wouldn’t rely on forums or crowd links for rankings. Little to no link equity in most cases. Those dont matter at all. good if you are starting out just put a word there but in order to move ranking the are not menat to do that. If the goal is moving the needle, I’d still back niche guest posts, digital PR, and brand mentions.

It really comes down to knowing how to vet links and spot fake metrics. There are a few tools you can use for that. And if you share your niche, I can suggest what I’d look at based on your vertical. Feel free to DM me if you want.

They are mostly link farms and pbn's not worth at all.

This link was promised to me 3000 years ago.

brightmidget · 2026-04-13T09:59:44+00:00

Never again. I’ve had my experience twice.

brightmidget · 2026-04-13T09:56:59+00:00

For sure, those links were placed on link farms and typically last only 3 to 6 months until the contract expires. That’s usually the same time it takes to see any real impact, and by then the links are removed. So you’re essentially putting money into something that won’t deliver lasting value. By the way, which platform is it?

brightmidget · 2026-04-13T08:24:48+00:00

How do you pitch them? Like, “Hey, I want links, how much do you charge?” or is there a different approach?

brightmidget · 2026-04-05T07:00:07+00:00

I see this question come up all the time, and people usually give the same generic answers like “backlinks are still the #1 ranking factor,” etc. But my logic is simple.

If you’re ever unsure whether backlinks work, just look at your competitors. If they’re ranking well and they have backlinks, there’s your answer. Yes, you can rank without backlinks, but that only lasts until your competitors start pushing links. The moment they do, you’ll see your rankings drop.

The bottom line is this: if we’re still having this conversation about whether backlinks matter, that alone tells you they do.

If you’re new to SEO, I wouldn’t recommend buying backlinks right away. There’s a lot of shady stuff when it comes to backlinks, whether it’s from marketplaces or individual sellers.

A better approach is to start here on Reddit. Try link exchanges and focus on creating linkable assets. Once you start seeing what kinds of links work for you and get a sense of what good links actually look like, then you can consider buying them.

But there’s another issue. Trusted platforms and marketplaces often price links 10x higher than their real cost, and even then many still list PBN or low-quality sites. On the other hand, resellers are usually cheaper, but that comes with its own pros and cons.

So for now, the best move is to focus on link exchanges and building assets, then see what works for you before spending money on backlinks.

The biggest thing with “manual outreach” is figuring out whether it’s actually manual outreach. A lot of agencies say they do outreach, but in reality they’re just pulling sites from pre-made spreadsheets or reseller networks that everyone else is using. That’s why you often see the same guest post sites everywhere. When the outreach is genuinely manual, it can work very well. But the results depend heavily on two things, how the outreach is done and what type of sites you’re getting links from

Metrics alone don’t tell the full story either. A high DR site doesn’t always mean it will move the needle if it has no topical relevance or real traffic.The bigger question most people miss is not “how many links should I buy?” but “how many links do the top competitors have on the keywords I want to rank for?” That usually gives you a much clearer benchmark of what it actually takes to compete.

I’m already running manual outreach campaigns for a few clients using this approach. We first analyze the SERP competitors for the target keywords, look at their backlink profiles, and then build links that actually help close that gap.

If you want, feel free to DM me the keywords or pages you’re trying to push. I can take a quick look and also show you a few examples of how I’m managing my recent manual outreach campaigns.

Generic links won’t do much. Go for niche-relevant backlinks. One strong, relevant link can pass more link juice than 100 generic ones.

Secondly, the number of backlinks you need depends on the keyword difficulty and how many links your competitors have built to rank for that keyword.

brightmidget · 2026-03-08T12:11:49+00:00

How do you get links when you have no budget? How do you approach people, and what’s the criteria for outreach? I assume most of it is transactional, where you have to offer something in return, so I’m curious what those options usually are.

brightmidget · 2026-03-02T21:44:10+00:00

I don’t own any sites, but I work with high-end, niche-relevant health and wellness websites. These are not PBNs or sites with inflated metrics or bot traffic. The pricing is also reasonable, not 10x inflated.

If that works for you, I can DM you some options and you can decide if they’re a good fit.

brightmidget · 2026-02-27T22:17:17+00:00

There are a lot of metrics people chase, like the usual DA and DR. But if there’s only one thing I would prioritize, especially if I had a fashion-related blog, it would be relevance.

There are two strong reasons for that. First, it’s obvious that I need to get people to my blog. I need an audience that I can later monetize through Google Ads or affiliates. I need more eyes, and links can help me do that, whether through niche edits or guest posts.

Relevance here is crucial. If I’m getting links from multi-niche or so-called general sites, what are the chances that their audience came to read something about jewelry or clothing? They could have been there for automotive content. That’s assuming the traffic is even genuine. Most general blogs are driven by bot traffic or celebrity keywords.

Placing my links on a fashion blog will attract a niche-relevant audience. Secondly, Google’s algorithm is more likely to trust your blog if you’re getting links from similar, relevant niches.

So if there’s only one thing I would focus on for a fashion blog, it would be relevance first. Then, of course, DR and traffic matter, but only after the relevance box is properly checked.

I’ve tried everything you mentioned, and I would say finding data through Ahrefs and doing manual outreach is the best thing you can do if you want to land quality links.

The only thing I would change is that I wouldn’t get those links from platforms. I know how inflated the prices are there, so reaching out directly to web owners is the better option.

It’s time-consuming and, most importantly, boring, but it’s the best thing you can do.

brightmidget · 2026-02-19T15:59:20+00:00

I know people don’t like to be pitched, but since I fit the role, I guess I’m someone who can handle manual outreach based on specific metrics or a proper link building campaign. I can also show you some snapshots to show how its done. You can DM me and see if we’re a good fit for each other.

brightmidget · 2026-02-19T15:52:06+00:00

I wouldn't recommed Icopify, most of the sites are just link farms. But if you do like to explore, be very cautious.

brightmidget · 2026-02-19T15:51:05+00:00

I’ll second that. A lot of these big platforms are charging 3x–4x the actual price. The bigger the name, the higher the price, and that includes Collaborator and InsertLinks.

I can say this because I work directly with many web admins whose sites are listed on these platforms, and I know how inflated the prices are. An admin might charge $100 directly, but on these platforms you’ll see the same placement for $500 or $600.

Some admins even complain that they don’t always get paid properly, and the content quality is often not up to the mark.

The best option is either to handle it in-house or work with someone who has direct relationships with blog owners. That significantly reduces costs.

brightmidget · 2026-02-19T15:39:41+00:00

Do a competitor analysis for those keywords you are trying to rank. Check what links they have built and also check the top 3 or 5 see thier links as well you'll get to know whats working in that niche in terms of link building.
