Buying backlinks

Next, I tested If I am going to purchase a guest post, I would have a specific requirements and criteria in place to choose the website. As a user, I want to promote my Content Audit Tool on a truly authoritative website.

So here are my criteria in choosing the links:

1. The publisher site must receive more than 1,000 monthly organic traffic. I want a Google-recognized site.
2. The traffic is stable or growing. Must not be in decline.
3. The majority of the traffic should come from the US. My site and business cater to the US market, so I expect the same.
4. The site should be relevant to my industry. Or in the same category. A cooking website isn’t the best place to promote an SEO SaaS tool.
5. I want a Semrush Authority Score (AS) higher than my website’s, which is 27 as of today. Moz DA can be manipulated. Ahrefs DR can be manipulated. These legacy metrics have fallen prey to the “DR hackers.”
6. I prefer the content publisher or platform copywriter to create content following their guidelines, using my input as the foundation.
7. Lastly, I want to spend $200 or less on my backlink. Price matters.

With these criteria in mind, I set out to filter the sites.

I found all the filters easily. Filtered for traffic above 1k per month, traffic from the US, relevant industry (Marketing/SEO selected), Semrush AS > 27, content from the publisher, and the price <$200.

With these criteria, the pool of publisher sites narrowed down to 16, which is perfectly fine.

For the traffic trend, I could hover over the traffic data and see whether the traffic has been rising, declining, or stable.

Another appreciable thing is that the country filter works absolutely fine. This was not the case with many other guest-posting websites. The filtered publisher sites here all have their majority traffic coming from the US.

Data accuracy

Next, I checked the data accuracy of these listings by picking a site at random. Mainly the traffic data.

The site I picked showed a monthly traffic of 10.8K based on Ahrefs data.

So, I checked what Ahrefs traffic shows for this site.

Turns out, it’s pretty accurate. Ahrefs shows the monthly traffic at 10.3K.

Maybe the data on MeUp updates monthly, and that explains the small difference. Other than that, it’s good.

Customer support speed and quality

From our limited interactions, MeUp customer support felt responsive and helpful.

We will come back with a more detailed view on the support speed and response quality soon.

---

Public reviews responsiveness

MeUp doesn’t have many reviews on Trustpilot.

The limited reviews it has are favorable.

But again, with a handful of reviews, it’s difficult to gauge how honest and transparent those reviews are to form an opinion about the service.
