Link building for crypto and Web3
Crypto has plenty of outlets willing to publish and a large share of them are worthless: networks built to sell coverage to projects with a budget and a deadline. Telling them apart is most of the job.
Growwer is a link building platform with an optional managed service
- YMYL
- Financial content sits under the same high bar
- Volatile
- Outlets appear and vanish with the market cycle
- Global
- Demand is not tied to one country or language
- Noisy
- A large paid-coverage layer inflates apparent inventory
Why the catalogue matters more here
Crypto is unusual: you will not struggle to find outlets that accept the vertical. You will struggle to find ones with a real audience, because the category grew a whole industry of sites built to sell coverage.
Those sites carry high DR and almost no traffic, exist to link out, and turn over with the market cycle. A profile built on them ages badly, and it ages fast.
Financial content is also YMYL, so the quality bar applies here as it does in legal and health, even though the vertical often behaves as if it does not.
What works and what does not
Read from what outlets in this vertical actually accept.
What works
- Business and tech press that covers the sector as news, not as a product.
- Outlets with organic traffic you can verify, not only authority metrics.
- Content tied to a real event: a launch, a report, a piece of data.
- Specialist outlets with an editorial line you can read.
What does not
- High-DR sites with no traffic: the signature of a paid-coverage network.
- Press release blasts to hundreds of outlets, which buy nothing durable.
- Money anchors on token names, in a vertical Google already watches.
- Outlets that will publish anything, which is exactly why they are cheap.
What to demand from a provider
The questions that separate a usable provider from a risky one in this sector.
| What to ask | What Growwer answers | |
|---|---|---|
| How many outlets accept crypto content? | A number, not 'most of them' | Filterable in the catalogue before you pay |
| Can I see the outlet before publishing? | Yes, with its metrics | Yes, and the price too |
| Who writes the article? | Someone who knows the vertical | You, or copy ordered in the platform |
| What happens if the post is removed? | A stated policy, in writing | Payment held until you approve it |
| Is there a premium for the sector? | Say so openly | The outlet's price is the price you see |
| Can I control the pace? | Order by order, not in bulk | You buy one post at a time |
Growwer is our platform. Ask any provider the same questions before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask before starting in this vertical.
- Because the demand was there and the supply followed. A site with high authority and no readers can be spun up cheaply and sold as coverage. Check traffic, not just DR, and check whether the outlet publishes anything that is not sponsored.
- For distribution and for the record, sometimes. For links, a blast to hundreds of syndicated outlets buys you a footprint that looks exactly like what it is.
- The vertical is not, but financial content is held to the YMYL bar, and the patterns common in crypto — mass paid coverage, exact-match anchors, sudden volume — are the ones that get discounted.
- Yes, from €500 a month, with the media proposal sent for your approval. In a vertical this noisy, seeing the list before it runs is worth more than in any other.
