Niche edits / Contextual links
Niche edits,
at the publisher's price.
A niche edit adds your link to an article that is already published, on a site with readers of its own. We find the page and show you what the publisher charges. You pay that price at cost, plus a fixed fee per link.

01 / In plain words
An existing article.
One new link in it.
A niche edit, also sold as a link insertion or a curated link, is a link the publisher adds to a page that is already on their site. Because the page exists, you can judge it before you pay: what it is about, where it sits on the site, and whether your link makes sense to someone reading it.
The page is already live
You read the actual article before you approve. You are not paying for a post that has yet to be written.
It has to pass our checks
We look at the site's traffic, topic and history, and confirm the page itself can be indexed, before it reaches your shortlist.
Your link sits in the text
The link goes into the body of the article, among sentences about a related subject. Not in a footer, a sidebar or a list of links.
You choose target and anchor
Point it at the page of yours that should benefit, and approve the anchor text before anything is placed.

Contextual links
Every niche edit
is a contextual link.
A contextual link is a link inside the running text of a page, surrounded by words about the same subject. A niche edit is exactly that. It needs editorial text to sit in, so pages without real prose, such as directories and link lists, are filtered out before you see them. If you came here looking for contextual links, this is that service.
Niche edit or guest post?
Guest post
A new article is written to carry your link. You only see the page once it is published.
02 / The price, in the open
What you pay,
and what for.
The publisher's price is passed on exactly as we pay it. Our fee is the same on every link, whatever the publisher charges, so we gain nothing from a dearer page.

Our fixed fee for members
One fee per placed link, whatever the publisher charges. With no membership, the fee is $79.
Membership, if you want it
Sourcing every month, vetting, intelligence and monitoring for one site, and $39 per link instead of $79.
What a niche edit costs
Publishers in our price index ask a median of $118 for a link, across 262 sites and 360 quotes. The middle half ask between $100 and $130. Our 32 settled placements averaged $118.44 at the publisher's price, plus our fee on each. All settled so far for one buyer, so read these as a first sample, not a market price.

Your approval sits in the middle.
Nothing is reserved or charged until you approve the page, the anchor and the price. Everything after that is our work.
We vet the site and the page.
Traffic, topic, geography and network signals, then a person reviews the result. Only pages that pass reach your recommendations.
You approve the exact page.
You see the article, your target URL, the proposed anchor and the all-in price. Approve, change the target or anchor, or decline.
The publisher adds the link.
We verify it on the live page and settle at the real publisher price plus our fee. If the final price is lower than the estimate, the difference returns to your wallet.
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.
WHY WE BUILT LINKPRENEUR
Buying links for the companies we work for taught us that the headline metric rarely tells you what you are paying for. So we built the service we wanted as buyers: a person vets every site, you see the page, the anchor and the publisher's real price before anything is spent, and every link is checked weekly afterwards. No markup on the link, a fixed fee per link, and a ledger you can check line by line.
Where the readers are
A network with US readers.
For 33 of the 53 sites in our network, the United States is the largest audience.
On 12 of them, more than half of the organic search traffic comes from the US.
Counted on 30 October 2026 from estimated organic search traffic per country, across the approved sites in our network. No site is named.
More in the price indexWhat is a niche edit?
A link added to an article that is already published on someone else's site. The publisher edits the existing page to include a link to yours. Nothing new is written just to hold the link.
Are niche edits contextual links?
Yes. A niche edit sits inside the body text of an article, next to related content, which is what makes a link contextual. A niche edit needs editorial text around it, so pages without it are filtered out during vetting.
How much does a niche edit cost?
The publisher's own price, passed on at cost, plus our fee of $39 per link as a member ($149/month for one site), or $79 per link with no membership. You see both before you approve. Publisher prices differ per site, and our price index shows the averages of placements that have settled.
How do you choose the article?
We start from your target page and your guidelines, then look for published articles on vetted sites that cover a related subject. We check traffic, topic, geography and network signals, and a person reviews the result before it reaches you.
Can I choose the anchor text?
Yes. Every recommendation comes with a proposed anchor, and you can set your own before you approve. We limit exact-match anchors so your overall mix stays natural.
What happens if a niche edit is removed?
We check every link at least weekly. If one disappears, we ask the publisher to restore it. If it is lost within twelve months and that does not work, we place a replacement without a new placement fee.
Will niche edits improve my rankings?
We point each link at the page of yours where it counts most, such as pages just off page one, on a page with readers and real text. Search engines decide rankings, so we commit to the placement and the monitoring.

dollar goes.
