Our position
A rented site needs a link plan the renter would sign off
The renter never sees your link order, but he sees the phone ring or stay quiet. Spend like the call volume is the only report that counts. Small, spread-out orders beat one big batch.
- Buy one link at a time and log what each cost
- Mix donor niches so the profile does not look stamped
- Stop buying once calls cover the monthly rent, then top up slowly
What it is for
Rank and rent backlinks: four jobs for a thin local site
A rented site is usually five to ten pages about one trade in one town. Links do four different jobs for it, and each job has a different price.
Lift the money page
One service page, say emergency plumber in one city, takes the first links. Start with a couple of mid-priced placements and wait for the next crawl.
Fill the profile with variety
A page with ten links from ten unrelated donors reads like a business that people mention. Ten from one family of sites reads like a plan.
Test a new city page cheaply
Clone-city pages are where thin sites die. Buy a $1 to $5 link for one of them first and see whether it even indexes.
Protect the rent
Once a renter pays, losing the top spot costs real money. Keep a small monthly line for links and treat it as upkeep, like hosting.
Who it is for
Why per-link beats a package for a rental
Packages hide the unit price. Rank-and-rent owners run on thin margins per site, and a bundle of fifty links you did not choose is exactly how a footprint appears.
Here the flow is different. You search donors by Domain Rating, organic traffic, referring domains, niche and language, add what you like to the basket, and nothing is charged until you pay. Prices run from $1 up to about $500, scaled by authority, traffic and niche.
Delivery is quick. The article is written automatically with one clean link to your page, or you give your own prompt, or you hand over a finished article. Delivery is usually within about 24 hours. Order history stays under ordered links in the dashboard.
Owners who run many sites should read the footprint red-flag list before the first order.

FAQ
Questions rank-and-rent owners ask us
What are rank and rent backlinks, and how many does a site need?
They are ordinary dofollow links bought to lift a lead-gen site you plan to rent to a local business. Count depends on competition: a quiet suburb may need a handful, a big metro far more. Start with three and watch Search Console.
Can I use the same donor on several of my sites?
You can, but we would not. Identical donor lists across sites are what a network looks like from outside. Spread orders across donors and track which donor went to which site.
How fast do links from a rented-site order show up?
The placement usually goes live within about 24 hours of payment. Google needs to crawl it afterwards, which can take days or weeks. No one can say when a ranking will move.
Is $1 per link enough for a plumber site in a small town?
Sometimes it is a fair test, not a plan. Cheap donors are fine for indexing experiments. For a money page in a contested city you usually want some higher-authority placements as well.
Do I have to write the article myself?
No. The default is an automatic article with one clean link to your page. You can also give your own prompt or supply a finished article if you want local detail in it.
Can I order for many sites through the API?
Yes, there is a REST API with a Bearer key, and AI agents can fill a basket over MCP. Paying the basket stays a separate step that you approve. Balance is topped up in the dashboard.
Will buying links get a rented site penalised?
It can if the pattern is careless. Google has fought link spam since SpamBrain in December 2022 and the March 2024 spam policies. We cannot promise any outcome, only help you keep orders varied.
