LinkVouch

Fair questions, straight answers.

What you see before you pay, what it costs, what happens when a link comes down, and how publishers get paid. If your question isn't here, email admin@linkvouch.com and a person will answer it.

Buying and your shortlist

How does buying a link placement on LinkVouch work?

You send one brief: the page you want to promote, the keyword it targets and the country you sell in. Within 24 hours you get a shortlist of five matched sites. Approve the ones you want, we write the article, the publisher approves it and the link goes live. From then on we watch it for 12 months.

What does it cost to get a shortlist?

You pay upfront, with no sales call. A person builds your five sites by hand against your brief. Not happy with them? Tell us why and the next set is built against that feedback. Any sites you skip become credit you can use later.

What can I see before I pay?

Everything except the domain name. Each site card shows the niche, the organic traffic with the date it was measured, the trend, the authority score, the audience country, the price, the delivery time and our reason for the pick. The domain unmasks the moment you order.

How much of my time does an order take?

About fifteen minutes. Your part is one brief and one approval. After that, updates reach you as notifications, not tasks.

How long until my link is live?

The median is 72 hours from your approval to a live, verified link. That's a median, not a promise. Every site card shows that publisher's own delivery time before you order, and you can add 48-hour delivery for $49 when a date can't move.

Pricing and payment

How much does a guest post cost?

Four tiers, all-in: Bronze $49 (DR 20+, 500+ visits a month), Silver $119 (DR 35+, 1,000+), Gold $279 (DR 50+, 5,000+) and Platinum from $699 (DR 65+, 10,000+, named publications). Niche edits use the same floors and cost less, from $39 at Bronze to $499 and up at Platinum.

Are there any fees on top of the card price?

None you didn't pick. The article and 12 months of monitoring are inside the card price, and so is editorial approval. The only extras are three add-ons you choose before paying: a human writer (+$49), a subject-expert writer (+$99) and 48-hour delivery (+$49). If checkout ever shows more than the card, we refund the difference.

Do you offer monthly plans?

Three of them. Starter is $349 a month for $399 of credit, Growth is $649 for $799, and Agency is $1,499 for $1,999. Each adds a discount, from 5% on Starter up to 15% on Agency, plus team features like white-label reports. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Is there an early-buyer rate?

Yes, for the first 50 buyers. They lock founding rates for as long as they stay with us and get a named contact who answers within one business day.

The sites in the network

How do you decide which sites get listed?

Every site is audited before it can take an order. We've reviewed 30,000 so far, and 74% failed: 38% had no real organic traffic, 17% existed mainly to sell links, 11% failed our API metrics check and 8% were deindexed or penalized. The 26% that passed are re-audited every month while they're listed.

How do you measure a site's traffic?

By API, never from a screenshot the publisher sends. The figure on the card carries the date it was checked, so you can tell a fresh number from a stale one.

Are the links dofollow?

Each publisher sets dofollow or sponsored, and it's printed on the site card before you order. You choose with the attribute in front of you, not after the fact.

Do you list private blog networks?

We don't. Sites built to sell links fail the audit, and so do sites whose traffic isn't real. If a site's readers aren't real, it doesn't make the network.

Articles and placement

Who writes the article?

Our editorial pipeline drafts it for that publisher's readers, then screens it for originality and quality before anyone sees it. Want a person on it instead? A human writer is $49 extra, and a subject-expert writer for technical, legal, health or finance topics is $99.

What's the difference between a guest post and a niche edit?

Age. A guest post is a new article we write for you, published with your link in it. A niche edit adds your link to an article that already exists and is already indexed, so it costs less because there's no article to write, and it still gets the same monitoring and guarantee.

Does the publisher approve every article?

Every one. Publishers review each article before it runs and can turn down topics they don't publish. That approval is part of what you're paying for.

Monitoring and the guarantee

How do you monitor my link after it goes live?

Early and often. The first checks run at 24 hours and again at 7 days, and after the 30-day check we look every month until the 12 months are up. Our monitor usually spots a dropped link before the buyer does.

What happens if my link goes down?

Inside the first 12 months, the publisher has 5 business days to repair it. If they don't, we replace it with an equal-tier link at no cost, or refund it. You don't fill in a form or argue your case.

Who pays for a replacement?

We do. We fund every replacement ourselves, so the guarantee holds up without depending on anyone's goodwill.

What does the guarantee not cover?

Two things. A link that drops because you removed or redirected the target page, and anything after the 12 months end. Everything else that takes a vouched link down inside the year is covered.

Why does the guarantee run 12 months, not longer?

Because 12 months is what we can fund properly. Some sellers advertise longer guarantees, and that's a fair thing to weigh. We'd rather give you a year we can fund than a promise with nothing behind it.

Google and rankings

Will these links improve my rankings?

Nobody selling placements can promise that, including us. What we promise is what we control. You get a real site that passed the audit and a live link with its attribute shown on the card. Then we watch it for 12 months and replace it if it dies.

What does Google say about paid links?

Google's spam policies treat buying links for ranking purposes as link spam. They also say paid links aren't a violation when they're marked rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". On LinkVouch each publisher sets dofollow or sponsored, and you see which before you order, so the decision is yours with the facts in front of you.

Can you guarantee a DR or traffic increase?

We can't. And you should be wary of anyone who says they can. We guarantee the floor at the time you order: the tier's minimum Domain Rating and traffic, with the date it was measured.

How should I judge a site you've shortlisted?

Look past the authority score. Check that the traffic is recent and dated, that the site covers your topic for real readers and that its articles aren't wall-to-wall outbound links. Every shortlist card gives you what you need to do that in a couple of minutes.

Agencies and teams

Do you work with agencies?

Mostly. Most of our buyers are agencies. That's why plans carry credits and discounts, and why reports on the Growth and Agency plans can carry your logo instead of ours.

Can my clients see reports with my branding?

Growth and Agency plans include white-label reports, so the report your client sees carries your brand and nothing of ours.

How many people can use one account?

Starter includes 3 seats. Agency includes unlimited seats and a dedicated account manager. Somewhere in between? Talk to us and tell us how many people need access, and we'll point you at the plan that fits.

Is there an API?

API access comes with the Growth plan. If you want to wire orders or reports into your own tools, email admin@linkvouch.com and we'll share the details for your setup.

For publishers

How do I list my site?

Sign up at linkvouch.com/join. Joining is free. There's no exclusivity either, so you can keep selling anywhere else you like. We review the site, and once it's listed it's re-checked monthly so buyers get what the card says.

What does a site need to get listed?

Real organic traffic and an editorial process. Sites with real readers move through review quickly. We don't list private blog networks or sites whose traffic isn't real.

How and when do I get paid?

You get paid in full, in one payment, within 7 business days of the article going live, on every order.

Do I control what gets published on my site?

Completely. You set your rate, approve every article before it runs and can list topics you won't accept. Nothing goes live without your yes.
