Answers about buying and selling guest posts, payments and link guarantees on Contlinks.
About Contlinks
A guest post marketplace is a platform where website owners list their sites and advertisers buy sponsored article placements on them. Contlinks shows each site’s traffic, authority and price upfront, holds your payment, and tracks the order until your link is live.
Advertisers, SEO teams, agencies and brands who want to buy placements, and publishers and website owners who want to sell them. Each group has its own account type and tools.
Yes. Creating an account and browsing the catalog is free. You only pay when you place an order, and publishers pay no listing fees or monthly subscription. Contlinks keeps a 20% commission on completed orders only.
Publishers list sites in 18 countries and 13 languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi. Filter the catalog by country and language to find sites for local campaigns.
For advertisers, agencies and brands
Create a free account, filter the catalog by niche, country, DR, traffic and price, and add sites to your cart. Send your article or ask the publisher to write it, then pay. Your payment is held until the post is live and you approve it.
Each publisher sets their own price and it is shown on the listing before you order, so you always see the exact total. Prices vary with the site’s authority, traffic and niche, and with whether you supply the article or the publisher writes it.
Every listing shows the publisher’s usual turnaround, which varies from site to site. Link insertions on existing articles are usually the fastest. Once the publisher submits the live URL, you check it and approve.
Yes. Upload a finished article as a .docx or a Google Doc link, with your anchor and target URL. The publisher checks it against their guidelines and may ask for edits. You can also ask the publisher to write it, for a fee shown upfront.
Each listing states the link attribute (dofollow, nofollow or sponsored) and whether the post is labelled as sponsored. You can filter the catalog for dofollow only, and we keep monitoring the attribute after the post goes live.
For publishers
Create a free publisher account, add your website and connect Google Search Console so we can verify your traffic. Once your site is approved, set your prices and start receiving paid orders. You review every article before it goes live.
Sites with real organic traffic of at least 1,000 visits a month, indexed in Google and publishing original content for real readers. Link farms and private blog networks are not accepted. Every site is reviewed before it is listed.
Yes. You see the brief, the anchor text and the article before you agree. You can accept, request changes or decline, and nothing is published without your approval.
Paid links should stay live for at least 12 months unless you agree otherwise with the advertiser. Removing or changing a link within that period can lead to a replacement request or a refund from your balance.
Paying and getting paid
The advertiser pays when the order is placed and Contlinks holds the money. It is released to the publisher once the post is live and the advertiser approves it. If the order is not completed, the advertiser gets the money back.
You add funds to your balance by credit or debit card, PayPal or crypto, and pay for orders from it. The minimum deposit is $20 and all prices are in US dollars. Contlinks holds your payment until you approve the live link.
By PayPal or crypto once your available balance reaches $50. Payouts are processed within 3 to 7 days, and a 2% payment processing fee applies to each withdrawal.
Browsing and listing are free and there is no monthly subscription. Contlinks keeps a 20% commission from the publisher’s earnings on each completed order. The price on a listing is the price you pay at checkout.
After your link goes live
Every live link is monitored. If a link is removed, redirected or switched to nofollow within the guarantee period of 12 months, the publisher restores it or we replace it at no cost.
We recheck every live link on a schedule, looking at whether the post is still published, the link is still there and its attribute is unchanged. You are alerted if anything changes.
Quality matters more than volume. Contlinks lists sites with real readers and verified traffic so placements look natural, but no provider can promise rankings. Choose relevant sites and keep your anchor text natural.
If an order is cancelled or the publisher fails to complete it, the full amount returns to your balance. Refunds to your original payment method are available on request. See the payment policy for time limits.
Our support team will get back to you within one working day.
