Based on typical average prices across our marketplace. Real per-link cost varies by authority, traffic and niche — check live listings for exact numbers before finalising a plan.
How to use this estimate
Treat the output as a planning baseline, not a fixed order list. If your niche runs more expensive than average (finance, legal, SaaS), expect fewer total links for the same budget; if it runs cheaper, you may get more. See our full breakdown in guest posting vs. niche edits for how to decide the right mix for your specific page.
FAQs
Why does the guest post/niche edit split change with my goal?
A brand-new page with no existing links benefits more from fresh, purpose-written guest posts that establish initial relevance. A page that already has some coverage can stretch a budget further with lower-cost niche edits added to already-established, relevant articles.
Are these average prices accurate for every site?
They're rough averages across a wide range of authority and traffic levels. A single high-authority placement can cost far more than several smaller ones combined — use this as a planning starting point, then check real listings for your specific niche.
Should I spend the whole budget every month?
Not necessarily. A steadier, smaller monthly cadence often reads more naturally than one large burst, and gives you room to evaluate results before committing more budget.
