FAQ
Everything you want to know before you buy a backlink
The honest answers to the questions SaaS founders and SEOs ask us most: how we vet sites, what the indexation guarantee covers, how wallet funding works, and when you get your money back. Start at the question that's blocking you.
How this page is organized
Buying links is a trust purchase. You're paying before you can see the result, so it's fair to want every doubt answered first.
We've grouped the questions into the things that actually keep buyers up at night: safety (will this hurt my site), indexation (will Google actually count the link), money (how funding, pricing and refunds work), and logistics (turnaround, content, reporting). Each cluster below points to the deep page or guide that covers it in full.
If you only read three things first, read is buying backlinks safe, how a link building marketplace works, and the 30-day indexation guarantee explained. Those three remove most of the friction. Everything else on this page is detail.
The four things buyers ask about
Most questions fall into one of these buckets. Jump to the cluster that matches your concern.
Is it safe?
Real-traffic sites only, no PBNs or link farms, anchor text you control, and a velocity that won't trip a spam filter. We vet before a listing ever reaches you.
Will it get indexed?
Every placement is tracked to indexed status. If a link isn't indexed inside 30 days, our guarantee kicks in and you're made whole.
How does payment work?
Fund a wallet, spend per link, no retainer and no lock-in. You only pay for placements you order, and unspent balance stays yours.
What do I actually get?
A live, dofollow link on a vetted site, the published URL, the metrics it was sold on, and tracking from order through to indexed.
Safety and vetting
Buying placements on real, traffic-bearing sites with natural anchor text and a sane velocity is low risk. The penalties people fear come from PBNs, link farms, and obvious link schemes, none of which we sell. We walk through exactly where the line is in is buying backlinks safe, and Google's own link spam guidance is the standard we vet against.
Every site is checked for genuine organic traffic, a real audience, clean outbound link profiles, and topical relevance before it gets listed. We reject the network sites and traffic-faked domains that flood cheaper marketplaces. The full method is in how to spot fake traffic, PBNs and link farms, and Ahrefs has a good primer on why PBNs are a bad bet.
Yes. You choose the anchor for every order. We'll flag if an anchor is too aggressive for the target page, because over-optimized exact-match anchors are one of the few things that genuinely raise risk. See anchor text optimization and how much exact-match anchor text is too much.
There's no universal number, it depends on your site's age, current profile, and how fast you're earning links elsewhere. The point is to keep growth looking earned, not spiky. We break down safe pacing in link velocity: how many links per month is safe.
Yes, placements are dofollow by default so they pass link equity, unless a specific site's policy requires otherwise (which is disclosed on the listing before you buy). If passing authority matters for your campaign, you'll know exactly what each link does up front.
Indexation and the guarantee
If a link you order through Saaslinks is not indexed by Google within 30 days, we either get it indexed or refund the placement to your wallet. A link Google hasn't indexed passes no value, so we treat indexation as the deliverable, not just publication. Full terms are on the 30-day indexation guarantee page and explained plainly in the 30-day indexation guarantee explained.
Thin or orphaned pages, crawl-budget starved sites, and low-authority placements are the usual culprits. It's one reason we vet for crawlable, trafficked sites rather than cheap volume. We cover the causes in why backlinks aren't getting indexed.
Sometimes, yes. Internal links to the page, a submitted sitemap, and getting the URL crawled all help. Our guide how to get backlinks indexed faster covers the tactics that actually move the needle versus the snake oil.
Each order moves through statuses in your dashboard from ordered to published to indexed, so you can see exactly where every placement stands. The general approach to monitoring is in how to track backlinks: a monitoring system.
Pricing, wallet and refunds
You fund a wallet, then spend from it per placement as you order. There's no retainer, no monthly minimum, and no lock-in. It keeps spend predictable and means you're never paying for capacity you didn't use. Full mechanics are on the pricing page.
Mostly the site's real organic traffic, its authority, and the niche. A relevant SaaS site with genuine traffic costs more than a generic blog, and it should, because it's worth more. We explain the market in how much link building costs and guest post pricing benchmarks by DR and traffic.
Yes. If a placement isn't delivered as described, or a link isn't indexed within 30 days, the amount is returned to your wallet under our refund and wallet policy. Refunds go to wallet balance, which stays yours to spend or withdraw per that policy.
No. Cheap links are usually cheap because the site has no real traffic or sits in a network, which is exactly the kind of link that does nothing or quietly hurts you. We make the case in cheap backlinks vs quality backlinks.
Your balance stays yours. The specifics of holding and withdrawing balance are set out in the refund and wallet policy so there are no surprises.
Turnaround, content and reporting
Most placements publish within a couple of weeks of order, depending on the site and whether content needs to be written. You'll see live status for every order, so you're never guessing. The end-to-end flow is on how the marketplace works.
We can handle the content, or you can supply it. Either way it's written to actually get accepted and read, not stuffed filler. See guest post content that gets accepted for what good looks like, and guest posting for SaaS for the bigger picture.
Guest posts give you a fresh, fully controlled article; niche edits place your link into existing, already-ranking content, often faster. Both have a place. We compare them in guest posts vs niche edits vs digital PR and niche edits and link insertions.
For every order you get the published URL, the site metrics it was sold on, and status tracking through to indexed. Tying that back to actual results is covered in measuring link building ROI for SaaS.
