LinkBasket doesn't sell link building packages, and that's deliberate. A package is a bundle of links at one price where the provider picks the sites, so you often learn which sites you got only after you've paid. We price per site instead. You see the exact publisher, its metrics and its fixed price, then build your own package from the inventory, one site at a time.

Most link building packages name a number of links, a DR range and a price, sometimes billed monthly. A listing might read "10 guest posts, DR 30+, delivered in 30 days". That's convenient when you have no time to judge sites, and it's why so many people buy them.

What the listing usually leaves out:

  • the exact domains, until the links are live
  • each site's organic traffic, and the country it comes from
  • whether the site covers your topic at all
  • whether the link is dofollow and carries a sponsored tag
  • what happens if a link disappears in month 3

Packages aren't a scam by default. Some providers let you pre-approve sites, and that changes the deal a lot. But when a bundle won't name its sites, you're trusting the seller's judgment over your own, and you find out whether that trust was earned only when the report lands.

The big difference is when you see the site. With a package, the provider chooses. With pay-per-site, you choose before paying.

Link building package Pay-per-site (LinkBasket)
Who picks the sites The provider, often after you pay You, before you pay
Price One bundle price A published price per site
Metrics you see Often a DR range DR, DA, traffic, referring domains, spam score, country
Topic fit Depends on the provider You filter by niche
Commitment Sometimes a monthly plan None; pay only for placements you order
If a link is rejected Varies Full refund to wallet, or a comparable site
After it's live Varies Weekly checks for 12 months

The rows that matter most are the first two. Everything else follows from seeing the site.

The sites, and with them, the facts that decide whether a link helps. A DR range tells you nothing about readers. Every number here is hypothetical: a "DR 30+" bundle could hold 10 sites with 200 visits a month each, or 10 sites with 20,000. Same label, very different value.

Package

You buy a promise: a count and a DR floor. You see the domains when the report arrives.

Pay-per-site

You buy a named site. You see its traffic, country, link rules and price before you commit.

Honestly, a package can still be a fine buy if the provider shares its sites first. Ask. If they won't, don't bother arguing about the price.

You build a custom package by picking each site yourself, in five steps. It takes longer than clicking "buy bundle". That time is the point.

  1. Set the budget and count. Decide how many links you need this month, and the most you'll pay per link.
  2. Filter the inventory. Use niche, country, DR, traffic, price, "accepts insertions" or "delivered in 3 days".
  3. Shortlist and save the view. Compare traffic, country and link rules side by side. Drop anything off-topic.
  4. Add briefs and pay. Give each order a target URL and anchor, add writing if you need it, and pay from your wallet.
  5. Track and check. We follow each order until it's live. You get 3 days to check it, then we check weekly for 12 months.

A hypothetical worked example: with $1,500, you might pick 3 guest posts at $150 and 2 at $400. That's $1,250, leaving $250 for writing add-ons. Our link building cost guide explains why prices vary so much.

A steady monthly pace makes sense. A monthly contract doesn't have to. When you order site by site, you can buy 4 links this month and 2 next month without a subscription.

How many per month? It depends on your competitors, not on a package tier. Our guides on how many backlinks you need to rank and on link velocity help you set a pace.

No paid link is safe by default, bundled or not. Google's spam policies list "buying or selling links for ranking purposes" as link spam (checked November 2026).

Cheap bundles of 100 links are where the danger piles up. In practice, those sites often exist only to sell links. If you've bought one before, don't add more on top; check what you already have with our guide on how to check backlinks.

What should you ask before buying any package?

Send these questions to any package seller. A good one answers in a single email.

  • Can I see and approve every site before you publish?
  • What organic traffic does each site get, and from which country?
  • Are the links dofollow, and is a sponsored tag added?
  • What happens if a publisher rejects the order?
  • How long do you check links after they go live?

FAQ

No. We sell one placement at a time, at a fixed price per site. For bulk or agency orders, contact us and we'll build the list together.

Not always. A bundle can look cheaper per link, but if half the sites have no readers, the useful links cost more. Compare cost per relevant site with real traffic.

Yes. Build it yourself from the inventory with filters and saved views, or contact us for a bulk list.

Skip the bundle and pick a small set yourself. For a new site, 3 or 4 relevant placements beat a 20-link bundle you can't inspect. Our guide to buying SEO backlinks safely has the checklist.
