Pricing
Backlink price, backlink packages price and link building pricing
Editorial link building costs about $150 to $500 per placement across the market, with premium Domain Rating portals higher and true digital PR higher still. BacklinkPlace sells placements as monthly plans on portals we own, so you get agency quality without the marketplace lottery. No free plan, because paid-only keeps the network clean.
Buying one tactic rather than a plan? Niche edit price breaks the cost of a link insertion down by Domain Rating band, and link building packages compares the monthly tiers.

What backlinks cost
What drives the price of a backlink.
A link is not a commodity. Four things move the price, and the cheapest options are usually cheap because they cut the things that make a link safe and worthwhile.
Domain Rating
Higher-DR portals cost more because the authority is harder to build and worth more to you. Our network spans DR 30 to 70, and you filter to what you need.
Live organic traffic
A link on a site real people read is worth more than one on an empty domain. We show live Google Analytics traffic, not an inflated metric.
Niche relevance
A link in a relevant publication carries more editorial weight. You browse by niche so your placement actually fits your topic.
Editorial quality
A genuine, well-written article disclosed as sponsored is the kind that lasts. Spun content on a link farm is cheaper and far riskier.

| Domain Rating | Typical market price per link | BacklinkPlace effective price |
|---|---|---|
| DR 30 to 40 | $100 to $250 | $199 per placement (Starter, 1/mo) |
| DR 40 to 50 | $200 to $400 | About $166 per placement (Growth, 3/mo) |
| DR 50 to 70 | $350 to $600+ | About $161 per placement (Scale, 8/mo) |
Every price includes the article itself, written and published for you, plus a live-link report. There are no separate content fees and no outreach costs, which is where most per-link quotes quietly grow.
Market comparison
What other link building providers charge.
Published or widely reported rates for the vendors buyers most often compare us against, each checked between July and August 2026. Some sell per link, some only in packages, and some only on a monthly retainer, which is usually the bigger difference than the headline number.
$508.95
Average price 518 surveyed SEO professionals said they would accept for one high-quality backlink (Editorial.link, 2026).
$459
Average guest post price across 52,671 websites analyzed in February 2026, up 7.5 percent from $427 a year earlier. Link insertions averaged $225.
$112
Median price across roughly 23,000 real link placements, before agency markup. Half of all links transact below this.
1.37%
Share of a 500,000-site guest post database that cleared DR or DA 65 with more than 10,000 monthly visits. Almost everything on sale is the rest.
The same February 2026 study puts price squarely on authority rather than technique: $332 per link at DR 1 to 30, $555 at DR 31 to 70, and $2,025 at DR 71 and up, with sites pulling 10,000 monthly visits charging about 21 percent more than sites at 1,000. It also found that listed prices run roughly four times the typical transaction price, which is the single most useful thing to know before you accept a first quote.

All third-party names are trademarks of their owners, referenced nominatively for price comparison. Figures are the vendors' own published rates or widely reported ranges, last checked between July and August 2026, and they change without notice, so verify current pricing with each provider before buying. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the row says so rather than guessing. Our effective per-placement figures assume a full monthly plan.
