What it is for
What a backlink buyer at a firm checks before the first order
Partners ask who will see the link, not how many there are. Fair question. Four checks settle most orders long before any money moves, and each one takes a few minutes of a partner's time.
Who reads the page
A link on a site your future clients would never open does little for credibility. Filter donors by niche, language and traffic, then open the page yourself.
What the page says about you
The anchor sits inside a short article that mentions your firm. Read it. If a partner would wince at one sentence, choose another donor.
Where the donor sits
Each row shows Domain Rating, organic traffic, referring domains, niche and price. A high number on an unrelated site is a weak fit for a conveyancing practice.
Who signs it off
Somebody senior should approve the basket before it is paid. Nothing is charged until payment, so the review costs a few minutes and no money.
Timeline
What Google has said about links, and why it matters to a firm
Penguin 4.0 goes real time
Link signals became part of Google's core ranking system. Spammy links are discounted as pages are crawled, so a firm sees no dramatic penalty date to watch for.
A broad core update hits sensitive topics
Sites on health and money subjects were reported to move most. Legal and accounting advice sits close to that territory, so trust signals count.
Link spam update with SpamBrain
Google began using its AI-based SpamBrain system to neutralise unnatural links. Links that are discounted pass nothing, which is wasted spend rather than a fine.
Core update and tougher spam policies
Google named scaled content abuse, site reputation abuse and expired domain abuse. Its link policies still treat buying links to pass ranking credit as a violation, and we say so plainly.
Compare
Four routes to a link, compared for a partner's purposes
| Route | Speed | Who controls the wording | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Directory profile | Days to weeks | You, within the form | Bulk submitters and thin listings |
| Press pitch | Weeks, sometimes never | The journalist | No reply, no link, no say in the angle |
| Guest article by a partner | Weeks of drafting | You, then the editor | Partner hours and editorial review |
| Marketplace placement | Usually about 24 hours after payment | You choose the mode; the article is AI-written by default | Weak donors; you must read the page |
How it works
How an order moves from list to live link
Find links
Open the marketplace and filter by niche, language, Domain Rating, traffic and price. Pick donors your clients could plausibly read.
Add to basket
Choose the target page and keyword for each. No charge yet, so the basket works as a shortlist for compliance.
Review and pay
Check the three content modes: automatic, your own instructions, or your own finished article. Then top up your balance in the dashboard and pay.
Track it
Each placement appears in ordered links with its status. Most go live within about 24 hours, and the link is permanent dofollow.
Our position
Useful for a slow, selective build; wrong for a quick fix
Be realistic. A backlink buyer at a firm who orders a handful of relevant placements per quarter, reads every page, and keeps reviews and profiles in order is using the tool sensibly. Bought links remain one input among many, and Google's policies are cool toward them. Start with the red flags.
- Fits firms with a real site, real service pages and a partner willing to approve each order
- Misfits: anyone wanting rankings by a date, or a site with no service pages yet
- We do not promise positions, and no one honest can
- vetted donor domains
- 50,000+
- lowest price per link
- $1
- top of the price range
- About $500
- usual time to go live
- About 24 hours

FAQ
Questions firms type before they order
What does a backlink buyer actually get for $1 to $500?
A single permanent dofollow placement, usually inside a short AI-written article that points to your page. Price scales with donor authority, traffic and niche. You choose the donor, the target URL and the keyword. Nothing is bundled.
Will a link move a law firm up Google?
Possibly, slowly, and never on a schedule. Links are one signal among content, reviews and technical health, and a firm should treat them that way. We cannot name a ranking, and we would doubt anyone who does.
Is buying links against Google's rules?
Google's spam policies list buying links that pass ranking credit as a violation. Enforcement is usually to discount the links, but manual action exists. Weigh that risk, and prefer fewer, relevant, carefully read placements.
Can I buy a link on a big newspaper or Forbes?
Inventory varies and we cannot promise any named publication is listed. Filter by Domain Rating and read the donor rows. Top domains reach about $500, and the biggest mastheads may not sell at all.
Do we have to write the article ourselves?
No. The default is automatic: you give a target URL and a keyword, and the article is written for you. You can also supply instructions, or paste a finished article of your own.
How do we pay, and can an agent order for us?
Top up the balance in the dashboard, then pay the basket. Invoices and proforma invoices are available. An AI agent over MCP or the API can fill the basket, but a human approves payment.
What about directories and submission tools?
Curated directories are fine for a firm, bulk submitters are not. Our accountancy page sets out the difference in plain terms, with a checklist you can hand to a junior.
