Backlinked review
The most expensive marketplace in our price data, with a median guest post listing of $754.
Backlinked review in brief
Backlinked, a Bonn marketplace with single backlinks from about $111 (€99), is the most expensive in our study: its 12,516 guest post listings had a median of $754, more than three times the $240 market median. That buys access to high-authority inventory, but with 15.8% of multi-listed domains costing at least twice as much on one platform as another, price-checking before you buy matters more here than anywhere.

Overview
Backlinked positions itself at the premium end of the marketplace market, listing high-authority publishers for buyers who care more about placement strength than unit cost. Its catalog is substantial: 12,516 priced guest post listings appeared in our September 2026 study of 253,527 offers.
The headline number is the median: $754 a placement, the highest of the fifteen marketplaces we analyzed. For comparison, the overall market median was $240, WhitePress sat at $174 and Adsy at $140.
Premium pricing isn't automatically bad, since authority costs money. But our cross-platform analysis found that 15.8% of the 65,202 domains listed on more than one marketplace cost at least twice as much on one platform as another. On a $754 median, that gap is worth checking before every order.

How it works

Filter for high-authority publishers.
Price-check
Compare the same domains on other platforms first.
Order
Place the order with your content or brief.
Verify
Confirm the live URL, attribute and indexing.
Always price-check the domain
Marketplaces set their own markups, and the same publisher frequently appears on several platforms at very different prices. Before buying a $754 placement, search the domain on two other marketplaces. If it's listed at $300 elsewhere, the site hasn't changed, only the markup has.
Who it suits
Brands that need high-authority placements fast and have budget to match, particularly in competitive categories where a handful of strong links matter more than volume.
