One buyer per package
Get backlinks from sites that don't sell them.
The New York Times has no rate card. Neither does Microsoft, or MIT. No agency will get you a link from any of them, at any budget. We will, and it arrives with a few hundred more behind it.
- From $79 a year
- 250 to 1,500 links in a package
- Live in about an hour

What you get
One name at the front, hundreds of links behind it.
Agencies sell placements. One link, one invoice, and a month of somebody pitching editors on your behalf. You pay four figures and end up with a single line in a blog post.
A package here is a whole backlink profile with a name on the front. One or two links from a publisher that does not sell links, and between 250 and 1,500 more sitting behind them. Every one of them points at your site.
The head
- One or two links, from a publisher with no rate card
- The name that sets the price
- Dofollow, and read live before your card is charged
Everything behind it
- 250 to 1,500 more links, often past that
- Spread across dozens of independent sites
- Laid down over more than a decade, by people who are not us
You pay for the head. The rest comes with it.
Four packages, and what was behind them
Head publisher, then the size of the profile that came with it. Every row was in the catalog.
| Price | Head publisher | Links | Sites linking |
|---|---|---|---|
| $149 | massart.edu | 76 | 47 |
| $799 | technologyreview.com | 142 | 79 |
| $1,299 | theverge.com | 1,756 | 82 |
| $1,999 | microsoft.com | 385 | 169 |
Why it looks like nobody bought it
A profile you could not assemble on purpose.
A bought campaign has a shape. Forty placements from the same tier of site, the anchor text somebody typed into a brief, all of it landing inside one quarter. Search engines have been reading that shape for fifteen years, and they read it in about a second.
These have the other shape. One or two strong links at the top, hundreds of ordinary ones underneath, put there by different people on different sites across more than a decade. They look untouched because nobody touched them.
- 6,411different anchor texts across the catalog
- A quarter of them name a brand, a fifth are the bare address, a fifth are a sentence somebody wrote in passing. None of them were ordered.
- 2013the year the median link was placed
- The oldest one still standing went up in 1995. Age is the strongest signal there is that a link stays where it is.
- 99.9%of the links we verify are dofollow
- The head link passes authority or the package does not reach the catalog. What sits behind it carries the mixture any real profile carries.
Top-heavy and long-tailed, the way profiles look when they grow instead of getting built.
The alternative
One link, or all of them.
Same budget, three ways to spend it.
| SeoBoosty | Link building agency | Freelance marketplace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A whole profile: 1 to 2 top links, and 250 to 1,500 behind them | One placement | One placement |
| Who links to you | Publishers with no rate card | Whoever answered the pitch | Whoever bid lowest |
| Anchor text | Written years ago, by an editor | Written by you, in a brief | Written by you, in a brief |
| Time to live | About an hour | Four to eight weeks | Days to weeks |
| Sold to somebody else too | Never | Sometimes | Routinely |
Two of those columns hand you a line in a blog post.
One buyer
Sold once, then struck from the catalog.
Nobody else gets this profile. There is no second copy to sell your competitor next quarter, and no version of it going out to a hundred other sites in the same package. The name is what makes a package identifiable, so it goes to the account that owns it and nowhere else. Everything you need to judge the link is in the open before you pay.
In the open before you buy
- The publisher carrying the head link
- How many links the package carries, and how many sites they sit on
- The year of the oldest page still holding one
- The price, and the fact that nobody can buy it after you
Yours the moment you own it
- The name
- Every source URL, one click each
- Every anchor text
- The full delivery log
What it costs
The publisher sets the price.
What a package costs depends on the name at its head. The profile behind that name comes with it either way, which is why the cheapest rung is often the widest.
$79
Foundation
Working publications with a real editor behind the link, and a profile that has been collecting for years.
$149
Trade
Trade press and specialist publishers, the outlets a professional in that field actually reads.
$299
Publisher
Publications with a newsroom behind them and an archive worth citing.
$499
Institution
The reference points of the web: standards bodies, universities, the documentation everyone quotes.
$799
Marquee
Household names. The publishers your competitor cannot buy from at any price, because they do not sell.
Yearly. One buyer per package.
If we cannot deliver
The refund fires before anyone here hears about it.
Every step runs on a clock. A package that will not go live, or a name somebody else takes between listing and sale, stops the order and sends your money back on its own. You hear about the failure from us.
- The full price comes back to your card automatically
- The listing is pulled and investigated instead of quietly resold
- You are never billed for a package that is not serving
How it works
Pick it, pay, it's live.
No calls, no brief, nobody to chase for a status update.
01Pick
Choose a package
You see the publisher at its head, how many links it carries, how many sites they sit on and what it costs, before you spend anything.
02Pay
One payment, twelve months
No retainer, no minimum order, nothing to renegotiate in March. The head link is read live again in the seconds before your card is charged.
03Live
The whole profile points at you
About an hour later every link in the package is working for the URL you chose. Move that URL whenever you like, as often as the year gives you reason to.
Checked from the public internet before we call it live.
When it's gone, it's gone
Somebody is going to own these links.
The package you would have bought is in the catalog tonight. It goes to whoever opens the catalog first, and the site you are trying to outrank is reading a page much like this one.
