FATJOE alternative
A FATJOE alternative that hands you the whole profile.
FATJOE built a clean, self-serve blogger outreach product: choose a DR tier, hand over a target URL and a brief, and in two to three weeks an article appears carrying your link. It works. It is also one link, written to order, on a page created for it.

The two models
What each of you is actually buying.
Both are paid. What differs is what gets paid for, and what a search engine can see afterwards.
FATJOE sells the outreach
Their team pitches sites inside the DR tier you picked, writes the article and gets it published. You are paying for the work of persuading a publisher, and the price rises with the tier.
We sell what already exists
No pitching, because nothing needs to be persuaded. The links are already on their pages and have been for years, and a package hands you the whole profile behind one.
One link against a few hundred
A FATJOE order is a placement. A package here is one or two head links plus 250 to 1,500 more, and the listing tells you the count before you pay.
Weeks against an hour
Their published turnaround runs two to three weeks. Ours is about an hour, because there is nobody in the chain who has to say yes.
The part that matters
Nobody was paid to place these links.
Every outreach product in this market works the same way underneath: money reaches a publisher, and in return a link appears on a page that did not have one. That transaction is the thing search engine policy describes. It does not happen here. The links were already on their pages, put there by people who were not paid and did not know anyone would ever sell anything.
- No publisher is contacted, paid or asked for anything.
- No page is written, edited or reopened to carry your link.
- The anchor text was typed by an editor years before you arrived, so none of it reads like a brief.
- One buyer per package, so the same profile is never pointed at two customers.
Side by side
FATJOE and SeoBoosty, line by line.
Their column is what FATJOE publishes about its own blogger outreach product. Nothing here is a judgement about their link quality.
| SeoBoosty | FATJOE | |
|---|---|---|
| What arrives | A whole profile: 1 to 2 links nobody else can sell you, and 250 to 1,500 behind them | One guest post placement |
| Who links to you | Publishers with no rate card | Sites in the DR tier you chose that accepted the pitch |
| The page it sits on | An article an editor wrote years ago | A new article, written for the placement |
| Anchor text | Written by that editor, before you existed | Supplied by you, in the brief |
| Time to live | About an hour | Around two to three weeks |
| Published price | From $79 a year, per package | Roughly $72 at DR10+ up to about $456 at DR60+, per link |
| Exclusive to you | Yes, one buyer then delisted | The site can carry placements for other customers too |
If you want a link on a specific kind of site and are happy to wait, their product does that well. If you want a profile that was never for sale, that is this one.
Four packages, and what came with them.
The publisher at the head, then the size of the profile that came with it. Every row was in the catalog.

Questions
What people ask when they are comparing.
- Is SeoBoosty cheaper than FATJOE?
- Per link, by a wide margin, because a package carries hundreds of them. Per order the entry price is $79 a year against roughly $72 for a single DR10+ placement, so the comparison that matters is what you get for the money rather than the number on the invoice.
- Can I still choose the site?
- You choose the head publisher from the catalog before buying, the same way you would choose a DR tier, except you see the actual name rather than a band.
- Do you write content like FATJOE does?
- No, and nothing needs writing. Content written to carry a link is the part that dates a placement. The pages here were written years ago about something else.
- Which is safer?
- Different exposure. Their model involves paying for a placement, which is the transaction search engine policy describes. Ours does not involve a publisher at all. Neither of us can promise you an outcome, and anyone who does is guessing.
- Can I use both?
- Plenty of people do. Outreach builds a story on sites you name; packages fill in authority and depth quickly. They are not competing for the same slot in a plan.
- Do you do white label like FATJOE?
- Yes. Bulk terms above ten packages and nothing we deliver carries our name.
