Vettted is a link building marketplace: it screens third-party link vendors and resells their services under one checkout. Its own niche edit page lists seven tiers, from a $25 starter link with no traffic floor to $50 at DR 10+, $100 at DR 20+, $120 at DR 30+, $160 at DR 40+, $350 at DR 50+ and $500 at DR 60+, with delivery in 10 to 14 days. It also sells foundational links, local citations, Web 2.0 links, tier 2 links and PBN packages from $149 for five, and gives agencies a 10 percent white-label discount. If you want a wide menu at the lowest possible entry price, that range is hard to beat.
The fork is who picks the site. Vettted states on its niche edit page that it does not offer pre-approval of specific URLs, and its PBN report redacts the domains. You choose the target URL and the anchor, the fulfilling vendor chooses the host. On BacklinkPlace the order is reversed: we own and publish the portals, so you read the host site, its live Domain Rating and its Google Analytics organic traffic, pick it, and only then pay $161 to $199 for the placement.
The honest trade is breadth and entry price against control. At DR 30 to 40 Vettted is cheaper than we are, and it reaches DR 60+ where we do not. What it cannot tell you before checkout is where your link will sit. For a YMYL site, a client account or any page you cannot afford to point at a link farm, that is the variable that matters. Figures are from Vettted's own pages as read on 21 September 2026. Re-check before you order.

FAQ
Switching questions.
Vettted niche edits run from $25 for a starter link with no traffic floor to $500 at DR 60+, per its own niche edit page in September 2026. The middle of the ladder is $100 at DR 20+, $120 at DR 30+, $160 at DR 40+ and $350 at DR 50+. PBN packages start at $149 for five links, and agencies get 10 percent off white label.
It depends on why you are leaving. If you need to approve the host before paying, an owned network fits, since the site is named up front. If you want another marketplace with a wide menu, compare Adsy and Collaborator. If you want a managed agency instead, FATJOE and Authority Builders are the usual shortlist.
Not for niche edits. Vettted states that to maintain efficiency and respect publisher relationships it does not offer pre-approval of specific URLs. You supply the target URL and anchor text and the fulfilling vendor picks the host. On an owned network you pick the portal first and read its traffic before ordering.
Yes, openly. Its PBN page lists 5 links for $149, 10 for $275 and 15 for $380, and it describes PBNs as a grey-hat tactic. The fulfillment report blacks out the PBN URLs to protect the network. Google treats PBN links as a link scheme, so most in-house teams and agencies with client sites avoid them.
Vettted is an established marketplace that states it has built over 125,000 links and screens the experts who sell through it. The quality question is the one every marketplace faces: results depend on the fulfilling vendor, and without host pre-approval you judge the link after it is live rather than before. Check the first order carefully before scaling.
Vettted quotes 10 days for its starter, DR 10+ and DR 20+ niche edits and 14 days from DR 30+ upward. Our placements go live in about a week because we publish on our own portals. Speed is rarely the deciding factor between the two. Control over the host usually is.
At the lower tiers, yes. Vettted lists niche edits at $120 at DR 30+ and $160 at DR 40+, against our $161 to $199 per placement. The difference buys a named host with live Google Analytics traffic you can check before paying. At DR 50+ Vettted costs $350 and more, where we do not compete. Market-wide bands are on niche edit pricing.
Yes. Vettted offers white label with a 10 percent discount for agencies, and unbranded reporting is now standard across most vendors. For agencies the harder question is whether you can show a client the host before the link goes live. We compare nine vendors on that in niche edit vendors for agencies.
Vettted promises on-time delivery and states free replacement of broken links for up to two years on its DR 60+ niche edit tier. The lower tiers do not state a replacement window on the niche edit page. Ours is a guaranteed placement on the portal you chose, with a live URL and a screenshot in the report.
It can be, if you can verify the host. For finance, health, cannabis or legal sites, Google applies a higher trust bar, so a link on a thin or link-selling site costs more than it earns. Screen the host for organic traffic and an outbound to inbound link ratio better than about 4 to 1. See finance niche edits for how we handle YMYL placements.
