Straight answers for confident link building
We keep things simple and transparent, with no hidden fees and no unnecessary jargon.
At BacklinkBuddy a backlink costs between $150 and $490, depending on the domain rating of the site it sits on. The price covers the outreach, the article, the publisher's fee and the report. It is on this page and on your invoice, and nothing is added at checkout.
No seller can honestly call a bought link risk free, and we do not. Google's guidelines treat paid links meant to manipulate rankings as link spam, and expect paid placements to carry a sponsored or nofollow attribute. What we control is the placement itself: a real site with real readers, an article worth reading, and the placement type and link attributes disclosed on your report. You decide what fits your site.
Click Order backlinks, pick a tier and a quantity, add your target page and up to three competitors, and pay. You get an email when each site is shortlisted for your approval and another when the link is live.
Most links go live within three to four weeks of your order. Editors at larger sites have longer queues, so a DR 60+ placement can take a little longer. If a placement is going to run past four weeks we tell you before the third week.
Yes. Every site is shared with you before we write the article. You can decline any site and there is no charge for it. We only write once you have said yes.
Domain rating, or DR, is Ahrefs' score from 0 to 100 for the strength of a site's backlink profile. Sites with a higher DR cost more because their editors charge more and take longer to place. We price by DR because it is a number you can check yourself, and we add a traffic floor to every tier because DR on its own can be gamed.
If a link is removed within twelve months of going live we replace it with a link of the same tier at no charge. Send us the URL and we handle the rest.
No. Every site we pitch has organic traffic we have checked, publishes for readers rather than for link buyers, and would exist without us. If a site fails any of those tests it does not make the shortlist.
Yes. Order under your own account and the reports carry no BacklinkBuddy branding, so you can pass them straight to your client. If you order ten or more links a month, email us for agency pricing.
Partly. Software does the sorting: it pulls candidate sites, checks their traffic and flags anything that looks like a network. People do the rest: the pitch, the approval, the writing and the follow up. No link is placed without a person having looked at the site.
That link is refunded. You pay at checkout, we confirm within one working day, and if a publisher you approved falls through and we cannot offer a replacement you are happy with, the money for that link comes back.
