LINK PRICE CHECKER
Check any backlink price against real listings
Check any publisher domain against Linkova's live catalogue — 225,000+ publishers, median $124 — or sanity-check a price someone quoted you. Either way, the comparison is against prices people actually pay, not a survey.
Domain checks query our live catalogue — we don't store what you look up. Quote checks run entirely in your browser.
What this can't tell you
Price and DR say nothing about whether the site's audience is yours, whether it has been sold links for years, or whether the article will still be live in a year. A fair price on the wrong publisher is still wasted money. Check the topic fit and the traffic trend before you check the price.
Or skip the quote. Every Linkova listing shows its price and the market median side by side, so there's nothing to negotiate against.
How the backlink price checker works
Check a backlink price in two ways
Check a domain: type any publisher domain and see its metrics and Linkova's live price range, next to the market median, average and highest listing.
Check a quote: enter a price someone quoted you, the site's Domain Rating and, if you have it, monthly organic traffic. The checker compares the quote with the going range for that authority level and flags anything unusual.
Backlink price by Domain Rating
Typical listing price ranges on Linkova by authority band, taken from the live catalogue. Use them as a sanity check for any quote.
| Domain Rating | Typical price on Linkova |
|---|---|
| DR 10–29 | $30 – $90 |
| DR 30–49 | $70 – $220 |
| DR 50–69 | $180 – $600 |
| DR 70+ | $500 – $5,000+ |
What changes the price of a backlink
Domain Rating is only the starting point. Monthly organic traffic, topic and language, the country of the audience, spam score, and whether the placement includes article writing all move the price. Two sites with the same DR can be priced several times apart.
A site with a high DR and almost no traffic can be cheap and still be worth little. Check the traffic trend and the topic before judging a price on DR alone.
How to compare backlink prices
Compare like with like: same Domain Rating band, similar traffic, same topic and the same scope. Check whether article writing, edits and approval are included, and whether the price is the listing price or has fees added on top.
On Linkova every listing shows its price beside the market median, so a price is never judged on its own. This tool gives you the same view for quotes from anywhere else.
Backlink price checker FAQ
- How much does a backlink cost?
- It depends on authority. On Linkova, placements run from about $30 on DR 10–29 sites up to $500–$5,000+ on DR 70+ sites. Traffic, topic and country move the price within each band.
- How do I know if a backlink price is fair?
- Compare it with the going range for the site's Domain Rating, then check the cost per 1,000 monthly visits and whether the traffic is real. A price far above the range needs a reason.
- Is the backlink price checker free?
- Yes. It needs no sign-up. Domain lookups query Linkova's live catalogue, and quote checks run in your browser.
- What is the market median?
- The middle listing price across Linkova's catalogue. Half of listings cost less and half cost more, which makes it a better benchmark than the average, which a few very expensive sites pull up.
- Does a higher Domain Rating always mean a better backlink?
- No. A high DR with little traffic or an unrelated topic is often a weak link. Relevance and real organic traffic matter at least as much as the metric.
