In one sentence

A link insertion is a link the publisher adds to an article that is already live on their site, inside the running text, next to related content. It is the same placement as a niche edit or a curated link: nothing new is written just to hold it.

01 / Who does what

You steer. We do the legwork.

Your part

Set the direction.

  • Name the pages that need links, or let us suggest them.
  • Set your guardrails: minimum authority and traffic, niches to avoid, competitors to keep out.
  • Approve or decline each recommendation, with its page, anchor and price.
  • Or switch on autopilot within a monthly budget and a price cap you set.

Our part

Find, place, keep watching.

  • Source and vet sites, and read the page the link would sit on.
  • Agree the placement with the publisher and pass their price on at cost.
  • Verify the link on the live page and settle the payment.
  • Check it at least weekly, recover it if it breaks, and report every month.

02 / Step by step

How a link insertion is placed

From a page that needs a link to a link we keep checking. Your approval comes before anything is reserved or agreed.

01

We find the article.

We start from your target page and your guidelines, and look for published articles on vetted sites that cover a related subject.

02

You approve it.

You see the exact publisher page, your target URL, the proposed anchor and the all-in price. Approving reserves the estimate from your wallet, or charges your card if you pay per link by card; nothing happens before.

03

We agree it with the publisher.

We agree the placement with the publisher and pass their price on at cost. A publisher can still decline, for example when a competitor already has a link on the page, or stop replying. When a deal ends without a link, the reservation goes back to your wallet, or the card charge back to your card.

04

The publisher adds the link.

The publisher edits the existing article to include your link, in the body text, with the anchor you approved.

05

We verify it and settle.

We check the link on the live page, then settle at the real publisher price plus our fee. If the final price is lower than the estimate, the difference goes back to your wallet.

06

We keep checking it.

Every link is checked at least weekly. If one is lost within twelve months and recovery fails, we place a replacement without a new placement fee.

03 / Before a page reaches you

A good metric
is where we start.

Every candidate page goes through the same checks, and a person reviews the outcome. Pages that fail never reach your list.

  • Real traffic

    Organic visits spread across real search terms, not a spike with nothing behind it.

  • A topic that fits

    The linking page is compared with your target page and your brief.

  • The right audience

    Where the readers are matters, so geography is part of the check.

  • No hidden network

    Shared IP addresses, analytics and nameservers, and copied content, help us flag link farms and private blog networks.

  • A page that can be indexed

    No noindex and no robots block on the page your link would sit on.

  • Text to sit in

    The page needs editorial prose. Directories and link lists are left out.

04 / What an insertion costs

The publisher price,
then our fixed fee.

Approval reserves the estimate from your prepaid wallet, or charges your card if you pay per link by card. We settle at the real publisher price once the link is verified, and any difference goes back to your wallet.

Questions about link insertion

Link insertion,
answered.

All questions and answers
What does a link insertion service do?

It gets your link added to articles that are already published on other sites. We find suitable pages, agree the placement with the publisher, have the link inserted, check that it is live and keep checking it afterwards.

Is link insertion the same as a niche edit?

Yes. Link insertion, niche edit and curated link are three names for the same placement: a link added to an article that is already live. Our niche edits page explains the placement itself; this page is about how we run the service for you.

What do I approve before you buy?

The exact publisher page, your target page, the anchor text and the all-in price. Nothing is reserved or charged until you approve. With a membership, autopilot can approve within a budget and a price cap you set, with a 48-hour window to cancel any purchase.

How is the price set?

The publisher names a price, and we pass it on at cost without a markup. Our fee is $39 per inserted link as a member ($149/month), or $79 with no membership. Approval reserves the estimate from your wallet, or charges your card if you pay per link by card; if the final price is lower, the difference goes back to your wallet.

Which sites do you insert links on?

Sites that pass our vetting: real traffic, a topic that fits your page, no signs of a private blog network, and a page that can be indexed. You see the exact page before you decide. We do not publish a list of our sites.

Can my agency resell the service?

Yes. Agencies run it under their own brand, with client sub-accounts and a shared wallet, and set their own margin on top of our cost. The agencies page has the details, and you can ask for a short call there.

How quickly is a link inserted?

That depends on the publisher. Each recommendation shows an expected window, and the live URL appears in your portal once we have verified it.

Publisher prices at cost. A fixed fee per link. A membership only if it pays off for you.
