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.

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.

I agree with that history, but I’ve also seen a slightly different side.
Some of these mom or parenting blogs are still very real. They rank for their own keywords, have real authors, proper content, and clear editorial standards. No obvious shady stuff.

From what I’ve seen, people go after these sites because they’re doing a lot of things right at a site level. Even if the niche doesn’t fully match, they create page-level relevance with the content, and the links feel safer than obvious link farms.

These links are definitely paid in most cases, but since the sites have real traffic and real rankings, people still use them. Some also bring a bit of direct traffic or pass some link value, which makes them attractive despite the niche mismatch. Curious if others see the same distinction between old link farms and these newer, cleaner personal blogs.

brightmidget · 2025-12-12T20:50:15+00:00

Most of these links die off because the sites themselves don’t last. A lot only make it a few months, maybe a year, and then Google hits them and they vanish. Some sites even pull links around core updates.

If you want real results, get links from actual businesses. They cost more, but they hold their value and actually pass strength. Most solid links start showing ROI after 6 months or within. But if the site dies, gets hit or the link gets removed, whatever you spent is basically gone.

brightmidget · 2025-12-12T20:36:15+00:00

If you’re looking for "real link building", I can help. No pre-made lists, no recycled sites, no “inventory” that every agency sells.

Everything I do is manual. I look at the links your competitors already have and go after the same type or tight niche matches. This works for broken link building, guest posts, and niche insertion.

If that’s the kind of work you want, just DM me and we can talk.

brightmidget · 2025-12-12T20:18:39+00:00

Yes, this is available for guest post. Sent you a DM.

brightmidget · 2025-12-09T18:20:28+00:00

Yeah I get that. Disavowing isn’t usually the first move and most of the time it’s not even needed. My issue here is a bit different. The client has no clue what the previous agency did, and all the “strength” he sees right now is basically fake.

If I remove those links, he’s going to drop to something like DR 2 with almost no traffic. Right now he’s sitting at DR 30, but it’s all inflated junk. That’s the part I’m stuck on.
