Interface

LinkPublishers provide enough key features about the publisher sites. The platform shows domain authority and backlink metrics (Ahrefs, Semrush), traffic estimates, TAT for a new link, top country by traffic, and pricing.

I liked two features here very much – Guidelines and View Sample.

Guidelines show the content requirements from the publisher site. Something like this:

The “View Sample” option takes you to an already published guest post on the site.

However, on the other hand, the data shown could be more robust if the platform added traffic historical trend and geo-distribution.

Next, here’s how I went about filtering the sites.

Buying backlinks

I had specific criteria in choosing the sites I wanted backlinks from. That’s how any user journey goes in these marketplaces.

As a user, I want to promote my Content Audit Tool on a truly authoritative website. So, here were my criteria:

The publisher’s website must receive at least 1,000 monthly visits from organic traffic. I want a backlink from a Google-recognized site.
The traffic should be stable or growing, not declining. Links from a site whose traffic is nosediving provide little value to me.
The traffic source should be the US, as it’s my home market, and 90% of my audience is based here.
The publisher’s relevance matters for topical authority. A cooking website isn’t the best place to promote an SEO SaaS tool. So, I need to filter for the website industry.
I want a Semrush Authority Score (AS) higher than my website’s, which is 24 as of today. I don’t consider legacy metrics from Moz, Ahrefs, and Majestic, as they became useless after Google’s Useful Content Update in March 2024. DA and DR were too easy to manipulate for years before the March update.
I prefer the content publisher or platform copywriter to create content following their guidelines, using my input as the foundation.
Lastly, I want to spend $200 or less on my backlink. Price matters.

So, I set out to filter for these criteria.

There were a good number of filters in place.

I could easily filter for country (US traffic), 1k+ organic traffic, category (I chose SaaS, Business, and Digital Marketing), Semrush AS (24+), and price (less than $200).

The only filter or data I couldn’t find is traffic historical trend – I couldn’t check if the traffic is growing, stagnant, or declining.

Apart from that, Link Publishers provided 6 out of the 7 filters I was looking for. So great job on filters!

But…

As soon as I applied these filters, the site names were masked. I soon realized only the top sites were shown and the rest of the site names are masked here.

Data accuracy

Since the site names are hidden, I couldn’t validate the traffic metrics for these sites.

Customer support speed and quality

To check the company’s support quality, we submitted an anonymous support request asking about how to use filters.

However, we didn’t receive any response from them.

Public reviews responsiveness

LinkPublishers has lots of positive reviews on Trustpilot, and not many negative reviews.

Whatever negative reviews are on Trustpilot, the support team has replied and tried to address the issue.

Founders accessibility

We love talking to founders about their products and requested a short interview from all the rating participants.

Unfortunately, we have not received any response from Link Publishers.

Bottomline

We consider Link Publishers an okayish guest-posting marketplace. The easy-to-use interface and robust filters are commendable. But the masked sitenames post filtering, non-responsive support, and limited publisher metrics leaves room for improvement.
