Pricing

What this costs

Every one of the 410 sites we sell carries its price on the marketplace, so the honest answer to "what does a link cost" is: go and look. This page covers the shape of it — per-link pricing, the volume tiers, and what the median actually works out at by domain rating.

Lowest listed price: $50
Sites priced: 407
Minimum order: One link
Upfront: $0

The default is per link, with no minimum

Buying one placement is a normal order and plenty of agencies start there. The lowest-priced site on the list right now is $50, and 287 of the 410 sites also take niche edits, which are often cheaper again.

The median price by domain rating

Worked out across all 407 priced sites on the list, and recalculated whenever the inventory changes. Adsy and PressWhizz publish pricing studies over tens of thousands of sites and those are better numbers for the market as a whole. This is a narrower thing and a more useful one: not an average of what the industry charges, but what you can actually buy here today.

The dot is the median; the band behind it is the full range within that tier. Axis capped at $600 — a handful of sites run beyond it and are labelled on the right.

Median, lowest and highest guest post price by domain rating band.
Domain rating	Sites	Median	Range
DR 20–39	112	$150	$50–$400
DR 40–49	78	$140	$60–$650
DR 50–59	81	$200	$75–$1900
DR 60–69	57	$200	$75–$900
DR 70+	64	$225	$75–$1100

The DR 40–49 band coming out below DR 20–39 is not a mistake. Price tracks how contested a niche is far more closely than it tracks authority, which is worth knowing before you filter purely on DR.

The more useful cut

What authority costs, by niche

Headline price by niche is nearly useless on its own — every band sits within about twenty dollars of the next. What actually differs is how much domain rating you get for the money, and that varies by a third across the list.

Median guest post price, median domain rating, and the resulting cost per domain rating point, by niche.
Niche	Sites	Median	Median DR	Cost per DR point
Business & Finance	113	$160	62	$2.58
Legal & Professional	12	$160	58	$2.76
Tech & SaaS	164	$165	57	$2.89
Health & Wellness	106	$150	48	$3.13
Ecommerce & Retail	182	$170	50	$3.40
Education	42	$170	50	$3.40
Travel & Lifestyle	326	$165	48	$3.44
Home & Trades	106	$180	45	$4.00

Shorter bar is better value. Sorted cheapest first. Niches with fewer than eight priced sites are left out, because a median across five sites describes the five rather than the niche.

Best value: Business & Finance

Median $160 at DR 62, which works out at $2.58 per point of domain rating. Finance and legal publishers tend to hold genuinely high authority and have not been bought out as thoroughly as consumer categories.

Priciest per point: Home & Trades

Median $180 at DR 45, or $4.00 per point. Consumer niches are the most contested, so the same authority costs more. That is demand, not quality.

Worth being clear about what this is not: a DR point is not a unit of value, and a relevant DR 40 site will do more for a client than an irrelevant DR 70 one. This is a rough guide to where the money goes further, not a formula.

What actually sets the price

Four things, roughly in order of how much they move it.

How contested the niche is

The biggest factor by some distance, and the reason DR 40–49 comes out cheaper than DR 20–39 on our list. A mid-authority site in a category where everyone is buying costs more than a stronger site nobody is fighting over.

Whether the traffic is real

Publishers with genuine readerships charge for the readership, not the metric. They are also the ones who will turn your article down, which is exactly why the link is worth having.

How often they say yes

A publication accepting one pitch in ten prices accordingly. Anywhere accepting everything is cheap for a reason, and that reason shows up in the audit as a high outbound link count.

Domain rating, last

It matters, but far less than the number suggests, and it is the easiest of the four to inflate. Filtering on DR alone is how people end up paying premium rates for sites with no audience.

If you would rather commit to volume

Three tiers, which work out cheaper per link than buying the same number one at a time. Nothing recurring and nothing to cancel.

Past 50 links a month the pricing moves again. That is a conversation rather than a tier, because at that point the mix matters more than the count.

What the price includes

In the number

The article, written by someone who knows the subject
Outreach and placement with the publisher
Your anchor text and target URL
365 days of replacement cover
An unbranded CSV line for your client reporting

Not in the number

Nothing. There is no separate content fee, setup fee or reporting fee
No monthly charge, and no retainer to keep an account open
No charge for a placement that never went live

Manual outreach and white label SEO are quoted separately, because scoping them off a rate card would mean guessing.

Two practical things

Currencies

Most of the list is priced in US dollars, with a minority in pounds or euros, and each listing shows its own. If an order mixes currencies we raise one invoice per currency rather than converting at a rate you never agreed to. Nothing is marked up for the conversion because no conversion happens.

Budgeting a campaign

A reasonable starting shape for a client site with little authority is four to six placements a month for six months, mostly in the $150–$200 band, weighted toward relevance over rating. That is roughly $700 a month at our prices. Spending the same money on five links in one month works considerably less well.

Questions about price

No, and most people do not. Everything on the marketplace is priced per link with no minimum, so you can buy one. Packages are a discount for committing to volume, not a gate you have to pass through.

Do I have to buy a package?

Because price follows demand, not authority. A mid-DR site in a niche full of well-funded competitors costs more than a high-DR general site nobody is fighting over. Our own median figures show it: the DR 40–49 band comes out cheaper than DR 20–39.

Why is a DR 45 site sometimes dearer than a DR 65 one?

No setup fee, no minimum order, no monthly charge. You pay per placement, after it is live.

Are there setup fees or minimums?

For a guest post: the article, the outreach, the placement, and the reporting line. There is no separate content charge bolted on afterwards.

What is included in the per-link price?

Publishers put their rates up sometimes and the list follows. What you were quoted at the moment you ordered is what you are billed, because the price is snapshotted onto the order.

Do the prices change?

Whatever the listing shows. Most sites are priced in USD, with some in GBP or EUR. If an order mixes currencies we raise one invoice per currency rather than converting at a rate you did not agree to.

Which currency will I be invoiced in?

The prices are already on the site

No form in the way and no call to book. Filter the list, add what you want, and pay once something is actually live.
