Six steps from nothing to a live link
1
1. Make an account and open the marketplace
Create an account, then go to the marketplace page. Browsing does not cost anything.
2
2. Filter the list
Set language first. Then add niche, a Domain Rating range, a traffic floor and a price ceiling. Rows show Domain Rating, organic traffic, referring domains, niche, language and price.

3. Add two or three rows to the basket
Adding is not buying. Open the basket, remove anything that feels off, and sleep on it if you like.

4. Pick a content mode
Automatic uses your target URL and keyword. Your own prompt gives you instructions. Your own article lets you write every word.

5. Top up and pay
Balance is topped up in the dashboard, not by API. Invoices and proforma invoices are available there if you need records.

6. Follow it in ordered links
Each placement shows a status. Usually it goes live within about 24 hours, and you can open the page and look at it yourself.
What 'quality' can mean on a small budget
Quality is a judgement, not a filter setting. The filters narrow the list, and you do the judging.
Open a few candidate sites in another tab. Do the posts read like they were written for people? Is there a recent article? Does the niche sit anywhere near yours, and is the language right?
A site with a middling Domain Rating and steady real traffic often serves a family blog better than a high-DR site with nothing to do with your readers. Tools like Ahrefs and Semrush can give a second opinion on a donor before you commit, and they are worth the few minutes.
When something looks wrong
Sometimes a placement is slow. Wait the full day before you worry, and check the status in your ordered links first.
If the page is live but reads oddly, note what bothers you. Perhaps the keyword you entered was too stiff, which our anchor notes cover, or the topic was too delicate for the automatic mode, as explained in the AI-written placements note.
Placements are permanent, so the lesson goes into the next order. Write to us through your account page if something genuinely does not match what you ordered, and include the order details so the question is clear. Week one is best.
Check these before you press pay
The target page loads fast on a phone and has no placeholder text.
The keyword you entered reads naturally in a sentence.
You have a screenshot of your current total backlinks and referring domains.
The basket total is lower than the ceiling you wrote down.
You have noted today's date, so you can count eight weeks properly.
If you use an AI assistant
Assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude can look through donors and load the basket over MCP. Paying stays a separate step, approved by a person, so nothing is spent behind your back.
