Linkscope connects your site with agencies and brands that pay for placements. You set your own prices, you approve every order, and you decide what goes live on your site.
We reject around 80% of the sites that apply, so the bar is real. Sites that clear it sit in front of buyers who are already searching by DR, traffic, and niche.
The Process, Step by Step
-
Apply With Your Site
Create a seller account and submit your site through the application form. You will need:
- Your site URL and primary niche
- Ahrefs or Semrush access, or a screenshot of your traffic and DR
- The email address tied to your domain, so we can confirm you own it
- The placement types you accept: guest posts, niche edits, or both
One application per site. If you own several sites, add them under the same account instead of opening a new one for each.
-
Pass the Site Review
Our team checks every site by hand. We look at traffic quality, indexation, outbound link patterns, and whether the content reads like it was written for people.
Review takes around 2 business days. If your site does not qualify, we tell you why. You can fix the issue and reapply after 30 days.
Read the Publisher Guidelines before you apply. It lists exactly what we accept and what gets rejected.
-
Set Your Prices and Rules
Once approved, you control your own listing. Set a separate price for guest posts and niche edits, since they take different amounts of work.
You also set:
- Turnaround time you can commit to
- Separate prices for restricted niches such as casino, adult, CBD, or crypto.
- Maximum links allowed per article
- Whether you offer more than the 12 month minimum link guarantee
Price it the way you would price a direct client. Sites that undercharge get flooded with low-value orders and end up removing links later.
-
Go Live in the Marketplace
Your listing appears in the marketplace once you save it. Buyers filter by DR, traffic, niche, and price, then order directly. You do not need to pitch anyone. Orders come to you.
-
Accept or Decline Orders
Every order lands in your dashboard first. You see the topic, the anchor text, the target URL, and the content if the buyer supplied it.
Accept it, or decline with a reason. Declining costs you nothing. Accepting an order you cannot deliver does, so check the target URL before you say yes.
-
Publish and Submit the Live Link
Publish the article, then paste the live URL into the order. Our system checks that the link is there, dofollow, and indexable.
Publish within 3 business days of accepting a guest post, or 2 business days for a link insertion. Late deliveries push down your seller ranking, which decides where you sit in marketplace search results.
-
Get Paid
Payment releases after the buyer approves the placement, or automatically 7 days after delivery if they say nothing. We pay through PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, bank transfer and crypto. There is no minimum payout.
Payouts run on a Net 15 schedule, in a weekly batch. Linkscope deducts a commission from the price you set, and your exact payout shows on the order before you accept it. Buyers are refunded when a link comes down, so removals affect your payout. Full breakdown, including hold periods, on the Payment Terms page.
What Gets Sites Rejected
Four out of five applications do not make it through. Most rejections come down to the same handful of problems.
Traffic That Does Not Match the DR
A DR 60 site pulling 200 visitors a month usually means links were bought, not earned.
Sponsored Content Stacked in the Recent Posts
If your last twenty articles are all paid placements with commercial anchors, buyers get nothing from a link there.
No Real Audience
Zero comments, zero shares, zero branded search, and a homepage nobody visits twice.
Thin or Spun Content
We check a sample of your articles. If they read like they were generated in bulk, the site does not pass.
PBN and Link Network Footprints
Shared hosting patterns, interlinked domains under one owner, and outbound link profiles that only point at commercial sites.
Deindexed Pages
If your money pages are missing from Google, a link on them does nothing for the buyer.
Getting More Orders Once You Are Listed
Approval gets you into the marketplace. These things get you picked:
- Reply to orders inside 24 hours. Response speed is a ranking factor in our marketplace search.
- Keep your delivery time honest. A site that always delivers in 3 days beats a site that promises 1 day and takes 6.
- Keep links live. A removed link is the most common reason a buyer opens a claim, and publishers with a clean record get more repeat orders.
- Keep your niche list accurate. Wrong-niche orders waste your time and the buyer's.
- Add a second or third site if you own them. More listings mean more chances to match a buyer filter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay anything to list my site?
No. Listing is free. We deduct a commission from the price you set, and only on orders that complete. Your payout figure is shown on every order before you accept it.
Can I list a site that is on other marketplaces?
Yes. You are free to sell placements anywhere else at the same time.
What if a buyer asks for something I do not want to publish?
Decline the order from your dashboard. You keep full editorial control over what goes live on your site.
How long do links need to stay live?
A minimum of 12 months, and every placement is sold as permanent. Buyers are refunded when a link comes down early, so removals affect your payout. See Publisher Guidelines.
Can I change my prices later?
Yes, any time from your dashboard. New prices apply to new orders only.
Do I need to label posts as sponsored?
That depends on the rules where you and your audience are, and the duty sits with you as the publisher. What you cannot do is accept a DoFollow order and then add a NoFollow tag after payment. See Publisher Guidelines.
My site was rejected. Can I apply again?
Yes. We tell you what failed. Fix it, wait 30 days, and resubmit.
