Link building platform alternatives

There is no single best one. The answer comes down to three things: which languages you need to publish in, whether you want to pick the outlet yourself or delegate it, and whether the publisher's social audience matters to you on top of the link. Every guide here answers those three questions for one platform.

In a marketplace you choose the outlet, see the price before you buy and pay per publication. With an agency you delegate the selection and pay a retainer or a project fee. The marketplace gives you control and a traceable cost; the agency takes the work off your hands.

The range is wide because each outlet sets its own price based on authority and traffic. What is worth comparing is what that price includes: copywriting, how long the link stays up, the link type, and whether you are also paying for social reach you may not need.

Publisuites carries more blogs and adds copywriters and influencers; Prensalink leans on newspapers and news portals. If your campaign is after press coverage, Prensalink fits better; if you want volume across topic sites, Publisuites gives you more to choose from.

The published articles stay up, because the agreement is with the outlet, but you lose the dashboard, the history and your point of contact. That is what happened with Link.builders and with Unancor: anyone whose whole link profile lived in one platform lost traceability overnight.
