Every listing says what the publisher offers and what it costs. Mix formats in one cart.
A new article written to the publisher's guidelines, carrying your link in the body. You choose the target page and the anchor.
Your link added to an article that is already published and often already ranking. Faster and usually cheaper than a guest post.
Labelled placements on larger publications, for brand coverage as much as the link. Priced by the publisher, shown up front.
A spot in an existing “best of” roundup in your category, the kind of page buyers read and AI answers cite.
You pick the site and the page. We get the link live, then prove it.
Filter by Domain Rating, traffic, US share, niche, price and turnaround. Prices show before you add a site.
We contact the publisher, write to their guidelines (or use your article) and get it published.
We read the live page's raw HTML. Your link counts only when it's there and dofollow.
<p>…the best option for most teams is <a href="https://yoursite.com/pricing"> your anchor text</a>, which…</p> rel attribute: none meta robots: index, follow X-Robots-Tag: not setDelivered. Checked in the raw HTML.
Every order is published, checked and guaranteed the same way, whether you buy one link or fifty.
Domain Rating and monthly organic traffic come straight from Ahrefs, with US share where Ahrefs has it, and a person on our team reviews every site before it's listed.
We write to the publisher's guidelines, for a flat $75 per article that shows in your cart. Prefer your own? Paste it in at checkout and the fee drops off.
Not live and verified within 30 days? Full refund. Down or switched to nofollow within 12 months? We replace or refund it.
Follow each link from first contact to the final check, with an email when it's verified.
Most link building marketplaces give you a Domain Authority column and a long scroll. Ours shows the metrics that predict whether a link will do anything, and lets you hide the sites that would waste your budget.
Agencies and in-house teams rarely build links for one domain. Projects keep each client's pages, anchors, competitors and monthly budget apart, and the catalog adapts to whichever one you pick.
A person on our team reviews every site and its rates before it's listed. Every listing keeps its Ahrefs numbers in view, so you can judge each site for yourself. And no link counts as delivered until it passes the check in the live page's HTML.
Each site has its own price, and the exact figure shows once you sign up. Your cart lists any extras, like the article fee, before you pay once at checkout. No packages, no bundles.
Ranges reflect the catalog today, per link and before extras like the article fee, and change as publishers update their rates. Every listing shows its exact price before you add it.
Create a free account, open the catalog, and buy one link or fifty. Each link is refunded on its own if it isn't delivered.
Loganix, PressWhizz, Adsy, Bazoom and the rest all sell the same thing on paper. The differences show up after you pay. Here is where we stand on each.
| Ask | Typical marketplaces | uSERP Marketplace |
|---|---|---|
| Can you see each site's real organic traffic, not just a DA score? | Often a DA or DR column with no traffic check, so the buyer does the vetting | Ahrefs Domain Rating and traffic on the listing, plus US share where Ahrefs has it, before you buy |
| How do you know the link is actually dofollow? | A screenshot or a “live” status, nofollow found later by the buyer | Read from the live page's raw HTML, including meta robots and X-Robots-Tag |
| Is there a minimum order, deposit or subscription? | Varies: minimum spends, tiered plans or bulk credits are common | No minimum order and no subscription. Add as little as $50 and buy one link at a time |
| Who writes the article, and is it extra? | Often an add-on, or outsourced to the cheapest writer available | Written in house to the publisher's guidelines, for a flat $75 per article. No fee if you send your own |
| What happens when a link disappears? | Depends on the terms, and on who notices first | Replaced or refunded within 12 months, each link on its own |
| Who is behind the catalog? | A marketplace company whose product is the marketplace | uSERP, the link building agency Robinhood, monday.com and Freshworks hire |
Keep a project per client, approve every domain yourself, and hand over reports showing the live URL and the verified date for each link.
No black box. See the metrics, the price and the turnaround first, then order. Export what you bought for the people who sign off on budget.
Describe the links you want, pick from what matches, pay for those. Start with two or three placements and scale when they work.
The marketplace is for teams that want to pick their own sites and buy on the spot. If you would rather have a strategist pick the pages, the anchors and the sites, and earn links through digital PR and outreach that no marketplace can sell, that is what uSERP the agency does for brands like Robinhood, monday.com and CrowdStrike.
Short answers, no fine print. The full terms are linked in the footer.
It depends on the sites. Links from pages with real readers, on sites with organic traffic and an editorial team, are the same links an outreach campaign earns; a marketplace only removes the negotiation. Links from private blog networks or pages built only to sell placements are the ones that cause problems. A person on our team reviews every site before it's listed, every listing shows its Ahrefs numbers so you can judge it for yourself, and you can hide low-traffic sites with one switch.
Rarely. A few publishers in the catalog say their links are nofollow. Those sites carry a Nofollow label, and one switch hides them. Every order is checked in the live page's HTML, and a link marked nofollow, sponsored or ugc doesn't count as delivered.
A guest post is a new article written for the publisher that carries your link. A link insert (sometimes called a niche edit) adds your link to an article that is already published and often already ranking. Inserts are usually cheaper and faster; guest posts give you control over the surrounding content. Most buyers use both.
Each site lists its own turnaround, and the median across the catalog is 2 days. If your link isn't live and verified within 30 days of your order, you get a full refund for it.
We do, to the publisher's guidelines, for a flat $75 per article that shows in your cart before you pay. Prefer your own? Paste it in at checkout and the fee drops off. A few publishers write the piece themselves from a brief we send, and those links carry no fee.
Yes. You give us the target URL and the anchor text for each link when you check out.
If the publisher removes your link, or makes it nofollow, within 12 months of it going live, we place a replacement of similar quality. If we can't, we refund that link.
Refunds go straight back to your uSERP balance, so you can use them on another order. Each link is refunded on its own, so one problem never holds up the rest of your order. Funds on your balance don't go back to your card.
Our publishers share their rates with us privately, so the catalog is only open to signed in buyers. An account is free and takes about a minute.
Yes. Add a project for each website you build links for, with its pages, anchors, competitors and a monthly budget. Pick a project and the catalog marks the sites you've already bought for it and the ones linking to your competitors but not to you, and the assistant can plan the month within the budget.
You add funds to your account by card, in US dollars, and each order is paid from that balance. The smallest top-up is $50. Funds don't expire, and they're non-refundable, so add what you plan to spend. Payments go through Stripe, so your card number never touches our servers. There's no retainer, no subscription and no minimum order.
Some publishers do, for a higher price. Those offers are marked “CBD, casino and similar topics” on the site and “sensitive topics” in your cart. If you'd rather not see sites that rank for casino keywords, hide them with one switch.
Email marketplace@userp.io and a person on our team will reply.
List it with us and get paid for every link you publish for our buyers. You set the price and the guidelines; we send you briefs and finished articles, and you get paid once each link is verified.
Create a free account and the full catalog opens up: every site, its Ahrefs numbers, what it offers and what it costs. You only pay when you check out, and every link is checked in the page source before it counts.
Sign up in about a minute, pick a site, add your target page and anchor, and we take it from there.
