A miniature of the real marketplace view — the live one has 225,866 more rows
So where do you buy them?
Rankings climb when strong sites in your niche point at you. AI assistants recommend the brands the web already cites. Referral clicks come from placements real readers actually see. One input, three payoffs — but only when the link is right: right site, right topic, right price.
Picking right is a catalogue problem. Most marketplaces show you a slice of the market and one number per row — their price. Linkova lists 225,000+ publishers across 150+ countries, with 12 metrics from 4 providers and the tracked market median next to every price, so you can tell a good deal from a dressed-up one before you spend.
And the catalogue is only the start. LinkRadar scores it against your competitors' backlinks to find the gaps worth buying. Linkprofile imports the links you already own and checks them weekly, so you never pay twice for the same ground. Scout AI briefs the whole thing for you — and Link Bundles are on the way.
“Nobody ranks because they bought links. You rank when you buy the right ones — and picking right starts with seeing everything.”

Linkova
Price transparency
Every listing carries the tracked market median next to our price. When ours wins, the badge says by how much — and by how many dollars. 168,000+ listings are under the median right now, by $112 on average.

our fee — on its own line, never baked in
Medians come from what each domain actually sells for across 50+ marketplaces, refreshed monthly. Top-tier press costs what it costs — the point is that you can see the comparison before you commit.
Find it. Price it. Ship it.
Find the link however suits you — scroll for it, ask for it, or take the one your competitor already has. Then we write the article and get it published. You never email a publisher.
Filter until it's a shortlist
DR, traffic, country, language, topic, domain age, price, spam score — twelve metrics from four providers on every single row. Sort by price. See who's under market. Add to cart.
Use it when you already know what you're hunting for.

Describe the job, don't do it
Type what you need in plain language. Scout knows your project, your market and the whole catalog. It confirms the brief before it spends anything, comes back with a shortlist, and will move the app for you when you ask.
Use it when you'd rather brief someone than run filters.

Take the links they already have
Hand it your domain. It finds your competitors, pulls everyone linking to them and not to you, scores each one on link overlap and topical fit, and tells you why. Then it hides everything you can't actually buy.
Use it when you want gaps, not guesses.

Approve once, get a URL
We write the article to the publisher's brief. You read it, change what you want, approve it. We handle outreach and publication, then drop the live URL onto the order — dated, exportable, client-ready.
Use it because chasing publishers is nobody's favourite afternoon.

Good morning, Sam
Here's what's happening with your link-building campaigns.
Built in, not bolted on
The data behind a row
Ahrefs says one traffic figure, DataForSEO says another. That gap is information, so we show you both instead of picking a favourite and calling it the truth.
Open any listing and you get six months of organic traffic, plus authority, referring domains, keyword count and spam score with the provider named beside each number. Then filter on any of them.
Nobody's marketing number
Four independent sources, side by side. If a domain looks strong on one and weak on three, you'll see it before you spend.
Spam score is on the row
Not buried in a detail panel you have to ask for. If a listing looks cheap for its authority, this is usually why.
Traffic over six months
A single snapshot hides a domain that fell off a cliff in April. The chart doesn't.
How it works
You choose and you approve. The article and the publisher email thread are on us.
Scroll the marketplace, brief Scout, or run LinkRadar on a competitor. Same catalog behind all three.
Add to cart. Listing price, then 1.9%, on separate lines. Tax estimated by country and finalised at checkout.
We write the article to brief. You edit it or approve it. Nothing goes live before you say the word.
We do the outreach and the publishing. The live URL lands on your order as proof of delivery.

Straight answers
You've been pitched by this industry before. Here's the version without the confidence trick.
Nobody can, and anyone who does is selling you something. Google and the answer engines change their minds without telling either of us. What we can promise is that you'll see authority, traffic and spam score from four providers before you spend anything.
That's the category, and pretending otherwise would be silly. So judge them like a media buy: real publisher, real audience, real topical fit, article written for readers. All the numbers you need to make that call are on the row.
It's on its own line in the cart, every time, and it's non-refundable. That's our whole business model. The day you find it folded into a listing price instead, you should leave.
It's 225,000 listings with honest metrics and honest prices. 35,000+ sit at DR 50+ and 5,000+ pull over 100k monthly visits. The filters exist so you can ignore the rest in about four seconds.
