Link Building Rankings

Best Guest Posting & Blogger Outreach Services — 2026 Ranked

Ten services that will write and place a guest post for you, scored on a fixed rubric from their own published pages. No provider paid for a position.

Published: 2026-08-31Updated: 2026-08-31Evidence cutoff: 2026-08-30Methodology: M1.2

Each is scored twice: a Provider Buyer Score for the strength of the purchase, and a Service Fit Score from this page's fixed guest-posting rubric. Every provider fact comes from that provider's own pages, read on 30 August 2026.

These are managed services — the provider writes the article and places it. Self-serve marketplaces and digital PR are different purchases; the buyer's guide draws both lines.

How this ranking is built

Two scores produce this ranking: the Provider Buyer Score from our M1.2 methodology, and the Service Fit Score from this page's fixed guest-posting rubric — availability and specification 0.22, publisher selection 0.18, relevance and real-traffic safeguards 0.15, workflow transparency 0.12, content responsibility 0.11, link terms 0.10, replacement remedy 0.07, buyer control 0.05. Overall Score is the geometric mean of the two: sqrt(Provider Buyer Score × Service Fit Score). Every provider fact comes from the provider's own current pages, read on 30 August 2026. No provider paid for placement or position. Full method: /methodology/.Link Building Rankings methodology

Provider Buyer Score measures the provider overall. Service Fit measures this service and query. Overall Score is the geometric mean of those two. The full method is on the methodology page.

Provider names, scores, ranks and profile links are derived from the ranking store at publish time and are not authored here. A cell reading 'Not published' means the term does not appear on the provider's public pages; an absent term is not a bad term.

An Overall Score gap below 0.5 is a tie: shared rank, alphabetical display, no hidden tie-breaker. Currently tied: fatjoe, Rhino Rank, Page One Power, uSERP.

A 2.0-point Overall Score band is an editorial warning only and does not reorder the table. Closely matched providers: fatjoe and Rhino Rank sit 0.4 points apart; Rhino Rank and Outreach Monks sit 1.1 points apart; Outreach Monks and Loganix sit 1.3 points apart; Vazoola and Stan Ventures sit 0.9 points apart; Page One Power and uSERP sit 0.4 points apart.

Editorial standards and corrections

Link Building Rankings does not sell link building, guest posts, or placements of any kind. Placement is not bought: no provider paid for inclusion, position, or a score on this page, and providers cannot buy a position. Providers do not approve copy before publication, and no provider was contacted for, or supplied information to, this assessment. If that ever changes, this page will say so before it changes.

This page makes no money. There are no affiliate links, no sponsored positions, and no referral fees; provider names link to our own profiles, and the links out to providers are plain links. If a commercial relationship is ever introduced, it will be disclosed at the top of the ranking and it will not change scores or order.

Google's spam policies define link spam as creating links "primarily for the purpose of manipulating search rankings", and the examples name this market directly: "Buying or selling links for ranking purposes", including "Exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links", and "Advertorials or native advertising where payment is received for articles that include links that pass ranking credit, or links with optimized anchor text in articles, guest posts, or press releases distributed on other sites."Google Search Central spam policies — link spam

Google also states the way out: it is "not a violation of our policies to have such links as long as they are qualified with a rel=\"nofollow\" or rel=\"sponsored\"" attribute. Here is the catch, and it is the honest core of this market: a qualified link does not pass ranking credit, which is the thing most guest-post buyers are paying for.Google Search Central spam policies — link spam

Most providers on this page are paid, in cash or in kind, for the placement, and the resulting links are typically not qualified. We have not inspected individual delivered links, so we do not claim any specific provider's placements are or are not compliant — that is a per-placement fact, not a verdict we can reach from a sales page.

The genuine distinction is payment, not vocabulary. A publisher who accepts your article on merit, with no payment, sits outside the paid-link rule. A paid placement does not, whatever it is called — "blogger outreach", "ghost posts", "editorial links" and "guest posts" are marketing words, not policy categories.Google Search Central spam policies — link spam

So the risk is real, and it is borne by the buyer, not the vendor — it is your site that is exposed. We do not tell you paid guest posting is safe, and we do not tell you it guarantees a penalty. If you want links nobody paid to place, the end of the buyer's guide names two firms that earn coverage editorially and sell no placements at all.

Each review carries a plain-English policy-exposure note: "paid placement, unqualified" where the provider sells placements with no stated link qualification, and "mixed or unclear" where the published method leaves the payment position ambiguous. The note is a label, not a penalty — it never changes a score.

Spot an error? Every provider profile on this site carries a "Request a change" form, and anyone — provider or reader — can submit evidence through it. We acknowledge within 5 working days and respond substantively within 20. Successful corrections produce a corrected record and a dated public correction note.

Two price figures are deliberately not published. The HOTH's current price could not be verified on 30 August 2026 — its rendered buyer journey returned an on-site error, and its catalogue headline conflicts with its product page — so no figure is quoted rather than quoting a stale one.The HOTH Link Outreach product pageThe HOTH homepage

And an older, lower FATJOE entry figure still returned by its crawlable HTML is stale: the rendered buyer-facing price is £60 (about $83) per placement, and that is the figure this page publishes.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

No approved verified reviews.

Every provider fact on this page cites that provider's own current pages, read on 30 August 2026, and dated in the source list. Where a provider has not published something, the page says "Not published" — an absent term is not a bad term, and the page must not let it look like one.

Scores shown are the Provider Buyer Score under methodology M1.2 and the Service Fit Score under this page's SFS-GP v1 rubric, combined as the Overall Score. The full method, weights and evidence rules are on our methodology page.

No provider paid for inclusion, position, or a score. No provider was contacted for, or supplied information to, this assessment.

Nothing on this page is independently measured. No provider's publisher inventory, placement overlap with other providers, or realised link quality has been tested by us; every quality statement is either a published provider term or an attributed provider claim. Prices and terms change — treat every figure as dated.

None of the ten providers has an approved verified customer review under our review standard yet, so no ratings appear anywhere on this page. The line "No approved verified reviews." is shown instead of a synthetic score.

Best for

Strongest published remedy; fixed-price DR ladderThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

What they do

A guest-post placement on a real blog, with the article written by FATJOE's in-house writers and one do-follow link placed in the flow of the post — never in an author box. FATJOE calls these "ghost posts": the piece reads as the blog owner's own, not as a contributed byline.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe FATJOE homepage

Verdict

The most tightly specified blogger-outreach product on this page. Every tier publishes both a DR floor and a monthly traffic band, the link terms are unusually explicit, and both a lifetime link guarantee and a money-back guarantee are in writing. The trade-off is deliberate, and FATJOE states it itself: you cannot pre-approve the site or the article. If you need to see the domain before anything goes live, buy from a provider that sells approval instead.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Strengths

Every tier publishes a DR floor and a monthly traffic band.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Authority and traffic are guaranteed only on the day of placement.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Price and engagement

From £60 (about $83) per placement, prepaid, no contract; 10% off for monthly-spend subscribers.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Paid placement, unqualified — high policy exposure. Placements are paid for and the links are not published as sponsored or nofollow, so the paid-link risk sits with your site.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

What you get

A guest-post placement on a real blog, with the article written by FATJOE's in-house writers and one do-follow link placed in the flow of the post — never in an author box. FATJOE calls these "ghost posts": the piece reads as the blog owner's own, not as a contributed byline.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Six tiers, each with a guaranteed DR floor and a guaranteed monthly traffic band measured through Ahrefs: DR10+ (0–1,000 visits), DR20+ (0–5,000), DR30+ (100–10,000), DR40+ (500–20,000), DR50+ (1,000–30,000) and DR60+ (1,000–60,000).The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

One anchor and one target URL per placement, and no duplicate domains across your orders — the dashboard cross-references live Ahrefs link data so a site is never placed twice for you. A white-label report sample is published for resellers.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

English-speaking blogs; UK, Australian and Canadian clients are targeted locally first, with a stated fallback to worldwide .com and .net sites when the local pool is too small.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Price and terms

From £60 per placement (about $83) at DR10+, rising through £80, £100, £180, £280 and £380 (about $111, $139, $250, $389 and $528). Prices are billed in pounds; the dollar figures are the rendered buyer-facing equivalents we observed on 30 August 2026.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Prepaid per order, with no contract. Monthly-spend subscribers get 10% off. Delivery is stated as from 14 days. Tax treatment is not published.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

How they choose publishers

Each tier pairs its DR floor with a traffic band, and both are guaranteed at the moment of placement. FATJOE states that it never works with PBNs.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

There is no published per-article relevance standard beyond those bands; the closest thing to a relevance commitment is the published full refund if FATJOE cannot find relevant websites for your niche.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Your control

None, and FATJOE says so plainly: you cannot pre-approve blog post placements, and there is no content approval step — its stated position is that pre-approval is unnecessary given the guarantees. You do choose the anchor text and target URL.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

If it goes wrong

A lifetime link guarantee: if a placement is removed, FATJOE replaces it on notice. A money-back guarantee covers orders that miss the stated guarantees, and a full refund is published if no relevant sites can be found for your niche.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

One exclusion matters: DR is guaranteed at the moment of placement, and FATJOE will not refund or replace a blog whose DR falls later.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Where it falls short

Control. There is no site approval and no content approval at any tier, which makes FATJOE a poor fit for agencies that answer to a client's domain whitelist. And the authority and traffic figures are day-one guarantees: if a blog's DR or traffic falls after placement, the guarantee does not follow it.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Content is written in-house by a UK team. The five-step process is published: research and article creation, manual outreach, the pitch, secured publication with a QA review, then a report — with a named operations owner and an anonymised example placement showing the article format and the link in context.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

The report lists every live placement URL and can be exported unbranded for white-label resale.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

From $75 per placement at DA10+; the DA30+ tier is shown at $130 per post, and the ladder runs to DA60+. No contract and no stated minimum quantity.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

The stated delivery target is 7 to 14 days. Tax treatment is not published.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

How they choose publishers

Rhino Rank states that it vets every placement site for authority, organic traffic, niche relevance and editorial standards, and that impressive metrics with zero real traffic get filtered out.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

The DA30+ tier publishes "traffic guidance: authority-first selection" rather than a numeric traffic floor, so the traffic safeguard is a stated practice, not a threshold you can hold it to. Its general terms elsewhere decline to guarantee complete contextual relevancy.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

Your control

On the standard product, none before publication: you see the site after it is live. You choose the anchor text and target URL. A managed route discusses approving proposed placements, but its scope is not published.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

If it goes wrong

Every delivered link carries 12-month replacement cover. A first-order money-back guarantee covers any reason, up to $550, across all services.The Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Rhino Rank homepage

The refund promise conflicts with the general terms' final-sale wording once an order is in progress. The product-page version is the one a buyer would reasonably rely on, but the conflict is on the record, not resolved.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

Where it falls short

No pre-approval on the productized service, and no published traffic floor on the authority-first tiers — the two safeguards a cautious buyer most wants in writing are the two Rhino Rank leaves as practice.The Rhino Rank guest posts service page

Verdict

The most completely published per-placement offer we found. Six DR tiers with prices, an itemised inclusions list, a 750-word article, a unique-domain guarantee and live link-level reporting are all on the service page. One serious caveat, and it is not small: the service page sells site pre-approval as an included feature, and the Terms of Use flatly deny it.

The single price covers manual outreach, a 750-word article written in-house with two rounds of editorial review, traffic, spam and ad-density verification on every domain, and a six-month replacement guarantee. A bring-your-own-copy option exists.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Link terms are explicit: a do-follow, in-body editorial link — never footer or author box — with the DR tier verified before outreach begins, and a unique referring domain that is never reused for your account, tracked across every order.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Reporting is a live Google Sheet with DR, traffic and do-follow confirmation per link; you see each placement the moment it goes live. Volume tiers are published at 50, 100 and 200-plus links a month.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Per-placement prices from $99 to $399 by DR tier, all-inclusive, with no retainer and no lock-in. First placements are stated to go live in two to three weeks.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Bulk discounts start at 50 links a month. The Terms of Use add harder edges: PayPal is not accepted, and recurring packages can be cancelled only within two days of order. Tax treatment is not published.The Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Outreach Monks Terms of Use

How they choose publishers

Traffic verification is stated as the selection gate, not a bonus: "traffic verified before we pitch", with spam and ad-density checks on every domain, and the stated position that a DR60 site with 200 monthly visitors is worthless.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

The vetting dimensions are published; numeric thresholds are not, so you cannot hold Outreach Monks to a traffic floor the way Loganix's published numbers allow.The Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Your control

Contested. The service page says you approve every site before any pitch — "We don't pitch anyone without your sign-off" — and lists domain approval in the price. The Terms of Use say pre-approval is not provided, costs extra when insisted on, and that rejections it considers invalid will not stop the order. The sales-page version is the one a buyer would reasonably rely on; the conflict is real and unresolved.The Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Outreach Monks Terms of Use

If it goes wrong

A six-month replacement guarantee: a removed placement is replaced free within six months. The Terms of Use state that refunds are not possible once links have been published, and that no link is guaranteed to stay up permanently.The Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Outreach Monks Terms of Use

Where it falls short

The terms contradiction. Pre-approval, refunds and link permanence all read worse in the Terms of Use than on the service page, and the two-day cancellation window on recurring packages is tight. No registered company name or number is published, and no numeric vetting threshold is.The Outreach Monks Terms of UseThe Outreach Monks About Us page

Loganix is the only provider here that publishes its site-vetting thresholds as numbers, lets you approve or veto every domain before anything is written, and states honestly which of its own products are multi-topic rather than niche-relevant.

Published turnaround is three weeks from approval of site selections — the slowest published target among the productized providers here. Checkout tax treatment is not published.The Loganix guest post service page

How they choose publishers

The vetting standard is published as numbers: 100+ indexed pages, 1,000+ monthly organic visits, 50+ referring domains, average DR 40 and DA 40, citation and trust flow of 10+, at least half of traffic from the site's own country, plus DNS, SSL, hosting, hyphen-spam, TLD and language checks and category exclusions.The Loganix Authority Links page

A human then reads 5 to 10 recent posts against named rules — including less than 50% paid posts and no obvious PBN designs — and checks the site's history for penalties, expirations and wild traffic or link swings.The Loganix Authority Links page

Your control

Approval is the default, not an upgrade: Loganix's SEOs source opportunities for you to approve or veto, and send a shortlist of hand-picked sites for your review. The $50 content upgrade adds pre-submission review of the article.The Loganix guest post service pageThe Loganix Authority Links page

If it goes wrong

A placement guarantee: if a link is rejected, Loganix replaces it with an equal or better opportunity at no extra cost — in its words, you'll never pay for links you don't get. A six-month live-link replacement is also on record.The Loganix guest post service page

The entry Guest Posts product is multi-topic, not niche-relevant — Loganix says so itself and steers relevance-sensitive buyers to Authority Links, which makes the honest entry price for those buyers $400, not $200. Higher-tier publishers may refuse exact-match anchors, and three weeks is the slowest published turnaround here.The Loganix guest post service pageThe Loganix Authority Links page

Buyer guide

Guest posting, blogger outreach, and what you are actually buying

You are buying a new article published on someone else's site, containing a link to yours. Three things arrive together: the placement, the article, and the link inside it. Everything else on this page — tiers, turnarounds, guarantees — is a variation on that single transaction.

The name varies; the transaction does not. Guest posting and blogger outreach are two labels for the same product, and providers title their own pages with both. FATJOE draws the one real distinction: its "ghost posts" are written to read as the blog owner's own piece with the link in the body, while a classic guest post carries the link in an author bio. Same purchase, different packaging.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Three neighbours are not this product. A niche edit inserts your link into an existing, already-indexed page — faster, often cheaper, and a different purchase we do not rank here. Digital PR is earned coverage: a journalist writes their own story about you, so it cannot be bought as a placement; our digital PR ranking covers agencies that earn it. And a marketplace lets you browse publisher inventory and buy it yourself — more control over the exact site, but the same inventory is resold to many buyers and the vetting is yours to do. This page ranks managed services only.

How to judge a publisher, and why DA and DR are not enough

Domain Authority and Domain Rating are third-party estimates of link authority. They are useful for pricing a tier and useless at telling you whether real people read the site. A DR60 blog with no organic traffic is a number, not an audience.

The things that actually matter: real organic traffic and where it comes from; topical relevance at both the domain and the article level; whether the site publishes mostly paid posts; indexation and traffic history; and whether the outbound link profile looks natural.

This is not theoretical. Loganix publishes its floors as numbers — 1,000 monthly organic visits, 50+ referring domains, less than 50% paid posts, and a manual read of 5 to 10 recent posts. FATJOE publishes a traffic band per DR tier. Outreach Monks publishes the dimensions it screens — organic traffic, spam score, ad density, topical fit — but no numbers. Most providers publish neither.The Loganix Authority Links pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services page

Learn the difference between a vendor naming a check and a vendor publishing a threshold you could hold it to. The first is marketing. The second is a standard.

What it costs, and how the engagement models differ

Three models sell this product. Per placement: Outreach Monks from $99 rising to $399 by DR tier, Rhino Rank from $75, Vazoola's published example tiers from $50, Loganix from $200, FATJOE from £60 (about $83), The HOTH tiered with the current price to confirm, and Stan Ventures quote-gated with a published $37–$247 per-link range at DA30–50. Package: Editorial.Link at $1,750 for five links or $6,000 for 20. Monthly programme: uSERP from $5,500 a month on a three-month minimum, Page One Power from $3,700 a month on a six-month contract.The Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Vazoola pricing pageThe Loganix guest post service pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe HOTH Link Outreach product pageThe Stan Ventures homepageThe Editorial.Link pricing pageThe uSERP pricing pageThe Page One Power custom link building page

The spread is the lesson. The same DA-or-DR-30-ish placement sells from under $100 to over $200 across this list, and the difference is mostly what the vetting, the writing and the guarantee are worth. A cheap placement with no traffic floor and no remedy is not the same product as a dearer one with both.

The real cost drivers are the authority tier, the traffic floor, niche relevance, and whether content is included. Treat every "starting price" as the cheapest tier, not a typical order. And note what is missing: almost no provider here publishes whether its prices include tax.

How the process works, and how long it takes

The sequence is the same everywhere: order, publisher sourcing, approval where offered, content, outreach and pitch, publication, report. What differs is whether you sit in the approval step.

Published targets from this page's evidence: Rhino Rank 7–14 days; Stan Ventures 14 days guaranteed after you approve the target sites; FATJOE from 14 days; Loganix three weeks from approval; Outreach Monks two to three weeks; Editorial.Link's first batch within seven days of approval.The Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Stan Ventures homepageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Loganix guest post service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Editorial.Link homepage

Watch where the clock starts. With providers that offer approval, the timeline runs from your sign-off, not from your payment — a slow buyer, not a slow vendor, is often the real delay. And set the expectation early: the fastest option is rarely the most relevant one.

The risks, and what protects you

The policy risk is stated above the table: most guest-post placements are paid links without qualification, and the exposure is yours. What follows is the practical layer — who publishes which protection.

Site pre-approval: Loganix, Editorial.Link, Stan Ventures, Vazoola on its guest-post and blogger-outreach routes, and Outreach Monks on its service page — but read the Outreach Monks caveat below. Content approval: Stan Ventures and Vazoola, with Loganix offering it as a $50 upgrade. Replacement cover: FATJOE for the lifetime of the link; Rhino Rank, Vazoola and Stan Ventures for 12 months; Loganix, Editorial.Link, uSERP, Outreach Monks and The HOTH for six months, with The HOTH's longer cover tied to a specific tier or subscription. Non-delivery refunds: FATJOE's full refund if no relevant sites exist for your niche, and Loganix's marketplace refund FAQ. Duplicate-domain protection: FATJOE's dashboard cross-reference and Outreach Monks' unique referring domain per account. PBN exclusions are stated by FATJOE, Outreach Monks, Stan Ventures and The HOTH.The Loganix guest post service pageThe Editorial.Link homepageThe Stan Ventures guest post services pageThe Vazoola blogger outreach service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Vazoola guest post service pageThe uSERP pricing pageThe HOTH Link Outreach product pageThe Loganix Authority Links page

Page One Power publishes no placement remedy at all beyond its contracted link quota — no public replacement, no public refund.The Page One Power custom link building page

Two disclosures belong here, not buried in a review. Outreach Monks' Terms of Use state "We don't provide pre-approval" and charge extra for it, which directly contradicts the approval promise on its service page. And Stan Ventures' 12-month replacement requires an active recurring plan paid within the previous 60 days, so a one-off buyer's cover is narrower than the headline suggests.The Outreach Monks Terms of UseThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Stan Ventures guest post services page

The general lesson: read the terms page, not the sales page. On this evidence the two disagree more often than they agree.

Before you buy, ask any provider five questions. Can I see and approve the exact sites before publication — and is that in your terms, or only on the sales page? Can I review and edit the article, who writes it, and how long is it? What traffic and relevance thresholds do you vet to — numbers, not adjectives? What happens if the link is removed, the site disappears, or the link turns no-follow, for how long, and under what conditions? What exactly is included in the unit price, and what is the minimum total spend?

If you resell to clients, add two more: will my report be unbranded, and will you ever contact my clients? FATJOE, Rhino Rank, Outreach Monks, Stan Ventures and Vazoola all publish unbranded reporting; Stan Ventures adds a pre-start NDA and a stated never-contact-your-clients rule.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Stan Ventures About Us pageThe Vazoola homepage

Which provider fits which buyer

A decision guide, not a re-ranking. Lowest published entry price: Rhino Rank at $75 — or Vazoola's $50 example tier if you accept a demo-gated route. Strongest published remedy: FATJOE's lifetime replacement plus money-back guarantee. Strictest published vetting: Loganix's numeric thresholds and manual review. Maximum buyer control: Stan Ventures, approving domain and article, or Editorial.Link, approving every prospect with a trial link first. Published traffic verification as the selection gate: Outreach Monks — read its terms page first. A managed programme with strategy: uSERP or Page One Power.The Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Vazoola pricing pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Loganix Authority Links pageThe Stan Ventures guest post services pageThe Editorial.Link homepageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe uSERP pricing pageThe Page One Power custom link building page

One honest caveat about the order itself: the top three providers on this page are closely matched on Overall Score, as are Vazoola and Stan Ventures, and Page One Power and uSERP. The published method does not separate those groups meaningfully, so treat each as a group and choose on fit.

When guest posting is the wrong purchase

If the goal is tier-one press coverage, journalist-earned links, or links with no paid-placement exposure, guest posting is the wrong product — our digital PR ranking covers the agencies that earn coverage instead.

If the target page already has relevant articles pointing near it, a niche edit may be cheaper: your link is inserted into an existing, already-indexed page rather than a new article. We do not rank niche-edit services on this page.

And if you want to browse publisher inventory and buy it directly, you want a marketplace, not a managed service. The trade is self-serve control against inventory resold to many buyers, with the vetting left to you; marketplaces are a separate category and are not ranked here.

If guest posting is the wrong product

Two firms we assessed do not sell guest posts at all, and say so on their own pages. They hold no position in this ranking and no scores. They are named here because the cautious reader often wants exactly this: links nobody paid to place.

Reboot Online declines guest-post work and argues against buying guest posts on its own link-building page. It earns links by creating data-led and freedom-of-information stories and pitching them to journalists, with digital PR retainers from £3,500 per month.The Reboot Online link building agency pageThe Reboot Online digital PR page

Siege Media states that it will never buy links or mentions on your behalf. Its model is content assets that attract links, plus earned digital PR, with services starting around $12,000–$15,000 per month and first links expected around month four.The Siege Media digital PR pageThe Siege Media link building page

Both are a different purchase at a different price on a different timescale, and both are ranked on their own terms on our digital PR page.

FAQs

What is a guest posting service, and what do you actually receive?

A supplier writes an article, places it on someone else's site, and includes a link to yours — you receive the placement, the content and the link as one purchase. On this page, per-placement prices run from $50 to $600 depending on the site's authority tier, and managed versions sit inside monthly programmes. Published delivery targets run from about one to three weeks.

Is guest posting the same as blogger outreach?

Yes, in this market. Providers use both names for the same transaction — a new article on a third-party blog containing your link — and several title their service pages with both terms at once. FATJOE draws the one real distinction: its "ghost posts" read as the blog owner's own piece with the link in the body, while a classic guest post carries the link in an author bio. Same purchase, different packaging.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service page

Is buying guest posts against Google's rules?

Yes, as Google writes it. Its spam policies name "Buying or selling links for ranking purposes", including "Exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links", as link spam. It is "not a violation of our policies to have such links as long as they are qualified with a rel=\"sponsored\" or rel=\"nofollow\"" attribute — but a qualified link does not pass ranking credit, which is what most buyers pay for. The risk is real and borne by the buyer; no honest page should promise safety.Google Search Central spam policies — link spam

How long does a guest post placement take?

Published targets on this page run from 7 to 14 days at Rhino Rank and from 14 days at FATJOE, up to two to three weeks at Outreach Monks and three weeks at Loganix. Stan Ventures guarantees 14 days after you approve the target sites. Where an approval step exists, the clock starts at your sign-off, not at payment — so slow approvals, not slow vendors, are often the real delay.The Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Loganix guest post service pageThe Stan Ventures homepage

Can I choose or approve the sites before publication?

With some providers, yes. Loganix sends a shortlist for you to approve or veto; Editorial.Link shows you every prospect before outreach; Stan Ventures lets you approve the domain and the article; Vazoola publishes a site-list approval step on its guest-post route. FATJOE, Rhino Rank and The HOTH offer no pre-approval on their standard products. Outreach Monks advertises approval, but its Terms of Use contradict that — read both.The Loganix guest post service pageThe Editorial.Link homepageThe Stan Ventures guest post services pageThe Vazoola blogger outreach service pageThe FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe HOTH Link Outreach product pageThe Outreach Monks Terms of Use

Who writes the article, and is the content included in the price?

Usually the provider's own writers, and usually yes. FATJOE, Rhino Rank, Outreach Monks, Loganix, Vazoola, Stan Ventures, Page One Power and The HOTH all include writing, with published lengths where stated: 750-plus words at Rhino Rank, 750 at Outreach Monks, about 500 at Loganix, 500 to 2,000 at The HOTH. Stan Ventures and Vazoola let you review the content, and Loganix sells a $50 review upgrade.The FATJOE blogger outreach (guest posting) service pageThe Rhino Rank guest posts service pageThe Outreach Monks guest posting services pageThe Loganix Authority Links pageThe Vazoola guest post service pageThe Stan Ventures guest post services pageThe Page One Power link building service pageThe HOTH Link Outreach product page

What happens if the link is removed or the site disappears?

Replacement windows are published by most providers here: FATJOE replaces for the lifetime of the link; Rhino Rank, Vazoola and Stan Ventures cover 12 months; Loganix, Editorial.Link, uSERP, Outreach Monks and The HOTH cover six. Conditions differ — Stan Ventures requires an active recurring plan, and The HOTH's longer cover needs a specific tier or subscription.

How do I tell a real publisher from a site that only exists to sell links?

Ask for thresholds, not adjectives. Real vetting looks like Loganix's published floors — 1,000 monthly organic visits, 50-plus referring domains, fewer than half of recent posts paid, a human reading 5 to 10 recent articles. Warning signs: no traffic standard, any niche accepted, mostly sponsored content, and prices that scale with authority metrics alone. Editorial.Link's stated rule is the blunt version: if a site sells links, they will not use it.The Loganix Authority Links pageThe Editorial.Link homepage

Are DA and DR reliable measures of a site's quality?

They are useful pricing axes and poor quality measures. Both are third-party estimates of link authority; neither tells you whether real people read the site, whether the traffic is genuine, or whether the site publishes mostly paid posts. Treat a DA or DR floor as the start of vetting, not the end. The providers that add traffic floors, relevance rules and manual review — Loganix most explicitly — are the ones taking quality past the metric.The Loganix Authority Links page

How is guest posting different from niche edits and digital PR?

A guest post is a new article on someone else's site containing your link. A niche edit inserts your link into an existing, already-indexed article — a different product we do not rank on this page. Digital PR is earned coverage: a journalist writes their own story about you, so it cannot be bought as a placement and sits outside the paid-link problem. Our digital PR ranking covers agencies that earn it.

How did you rank these providers, and does anyone pay to be listed?

No provider paid for inclusion, position, or a score. We scored each provider twice: a Provider Buyer Score under our published M1.2 methodology, and a Service Fit Score under this page's fixed eight-criterion guest-posting rubric; the Overall Score is the square root of the two multiplied. Every provider fact comes from that provider's own current pages, read on 30 August 2026. Providers that do not sell guest posts were excluded from the ranking entirely.
