You pay for a link. We hold the money until it’s actually there.
Buying guest posts usually means paying a stranger up front and hoping for the best. Here, the publisher only gets paid after we’ve opened the live page and found your link on it.
Built by the link building team at Seeders in Zwolle.
What an order looks like
Say you want a link from a Dutch finance blog to your mortgage calculator.
- You find the blog in the catalogue. You can see its DR, how much organic traffic it gets, what it charges and whether it marks links as sponsored.
- You send your article (or ask them to write one), add the URL and the anchor text, and pay. The money sits with us.
- The publisher has three days to say yes. If they say no, or say nothing, you get your money back without having to ask.
- They publish and send us the URL. We load the page and look for your link: is it there, does it point to the right page, is it not nofollow, can Google index the page?
- If it checks out, you get a notification. Approve it, or do nothing and it completes after seven days. Then the publisher gets paid.
And a month later, and again after three and six months, we check whether the link is still there.
What we do
- Check every site before it’s listed: ownership for self-listed publishers, a track record for the sites we fulfil ourselves
- Hold your payment until the link is verified
- Refund automatically if an order is declined
- Re-check links after 30, 90 and 180 days
- Show you the numbers before you buy, straight from Ahrefs
What we don’t do
- Sell packages of “500 high-DA links”
- Accept nofollow or UGC links as delivered
- Hide which site your link goes on until after you’ve paid
- Charge a subscription. You pay per order, that’s it
- Promise rankings. Nobody honest can
Running a website? Get paid without the back-and-forth.
You set your own prices and choose which orders you take. The buyer has already paid by the time you see the order, so you never chase an invoice. Publish, paste the URL, and once our check passes the money goes to your bank via Stripe.
Listing is free and you keep the full price you ask. Our fee is added on the buyer’s side.
Who’s behind this
Linkbuilding.com is run by Seeders, an SEO and digital PR agency from Zwolle. We buy links for clients every week, and we got tired of spreadsheets, prepayments and checking by hand whether a link was still there. So we built the marketplace we wanted to use ourselves.
Dennis started it after 15 years in link building. He, Hans and Beau write our guides and keep an eye on the publishers that join.

Questions people ask us
How much does it cost?
The price in the catalogue is what the publisher asks plus our 25% fee. Dutch businesses pay 21% VAT on top; EU businesses with a valid VAT number pay none (reverse charge). Signing up costs nothing.
What if the publisher never delivers?
If they don’t accept within 72 hours, or decline, you’re refunded automatically. If they accept and then go quiet, open a dispute on the order and we’ll sort it out.
What counts as “delivered”?
Your link is on the page, points to the URL you gave us, isn’t nofollow or UGC, and the page isn’t blocked from Google. Sponsored is only allowed if the publisher said so in their listing, so you know before you order.
Can I write the article myself?
Yes. Most publishers accept your own article. Some also write it for you for an extra fee, which is shown before you order.
Have a look around first. You don’t need an account to see the websites.
