Who we are
About TrueLinkShop, a link shop built for careful first orders
We sell backlinks. Our aim is that you never have to take our word for any of it.
What the shop is
TrueLinkShop is a self-serve marketplace for individual dofollow backlinks: editorial placements and link insertions on real, traffic-vetted websites. The inventory runs past 50,000 donor domains, and every row shows Domain Rating, organic traffic, referring domains, niche, language and price.
Prices start at $1 and reach about $500. There is no subscription.
What we show on purpose
The row
All the donor metrics beside the price, so comparing is quick.
The basket
Filling it charges nothing. You review it, then pay.
The order list
Every paid placement sits under ordered links with its status.
The flow
Find links, add to the basket, review, pay, placement goes live. That is the whole process.
How an order moves through the shop
You search the donor list, narrowing by Domain Rating, traffic, referring domains, niche, language and price. You add a row to the basket, and you can add and remove as often as you like, because nothing is charged at this stage.
Then comes the decision.
When you pay, the article for your placement is written automatically, with one clean link to your page, or from your own prompt or finished text. Delivery usually takes about 24 hours. The order appears in ordered links with its status, and you can open the live URL yourself. We have no hidden step after that. If something looks wrong on the live page, your account is where you tell us, and the donor row teardown shows what to compare against.
How we see our limits
We do not promise positions. Google's Penguin was folded into its core systems in September 2016, SpamBrain-based link spam fighting arrived in December 2022, and the spam policies were widened in March 2024.
Simple enough. A link is one signal among many. No seller can tell you what it will do on your site. What we can do is give you clean data, a small starting price and a way to inspect the result. Read the red-flag list and judge us against it, or begin with a test order.
Why a cautious buyer is our favorite buyer
The people we like best arrive with suspicion and a spreadsheet. They fill a basket, leave it a day, pay for one link and write down what they see.
That habit is rare.
Rare, and welcome. It is also the habit that keeps a marketplace honest, because a buyer who checks the live page pushes every donor row to be accurate. We would rather earn a second order from someone who verified the first than win a bigger first order from someone who guessed. If that sounds like you, the mistakes list and the budget plans were written for exactly this situation. And if the shop is not right for what you need, the comparison with press-release services may point you elsewhere.
For site owners and for agents
Publishers can also sell links on their own sites: you set the price, you approve every placement and payouts are weekly.
Buyers who prefer automation can order through a REST API with a Bearer key, or let an AI agent over MCP browse donors and fill a basket. Paying the basket remains a step a person approves. Top-ups of the balance are done in the dashboard, not through the API.
Where our data comes from
Metrics in the rows come from our own crawler and our own index.
Questions about an order go through your account, where the order list and invoices also live.
