Overview
LinksThatRank positions itself as the strictest quality controller in the market. Every placement is checked against 23 manual criteria, publishers need at least 500 organic visits a month, sites with public write-for-us pages are refused, and it maintains a blacklist of more than 84,000 private blog networks and guest post farms.
Pricing reflects that: guest posts and link inserts start at $177, listicles at $247 and reviews at $277, with packages from $697 a month and its Gold plan at $4,997. Competitor pages build their entire pitch around undercutting that price, and Reddit threads about link agency costs mention it in the same breath.
The public review record is thin. Its Trustpilot rating sits at 4.3 across 13 reviews, too small a sample to settle the question, and its site names no registered company or address, so test the promise against live placements before committing to a package.

How it works
Prospecting
Candidate sites are gathered for your niche.
23-point check
Each site is assessed manually against 23 quality criteria.
Blacklist screening
Sites are checked against a list of 84,000+ networks and farms.
Placement
Content is written and placed on approved publishers.
Reporting
Live links are reported with their metrics.
The quality process, in practice
The 500-visit floor and the refusal to use sites with public write-for-us pages are the two rules that do the most work. Sites that publicly advertise guest posts are, by definition, selling to everyone, which is exactly the inventory that shows up in competitors' profiles too.
How to test the promise
Given how few public reviews exist, ask for five recent live placements in your niche, then check each site's organic traffic trend over 12 months, its outbound link profile and whether the page is indexed. A genuinely strict process will hold up to that check easily.
