How LinkHonk works
For buyers
Browse and add
Filter by category, price and placement type. Add as many placements as you like to one basket.
Tell us where the link goes
Each placement belongs to a project, with a destination URL and the anchor text you want.
Pay once
One payment covers the whole basket. Each publisher then receives their own order.
We verify it
When a publisher submits the live URL, we fetch the page and check the link is really there, with the anchor and attributes we found reported back to you.
You have 72 hours
Time to look at the work before the order completes and the publisher becomes eligible for payment.
Monitored for 30 days
We keep checking the link and tell you if it is removed or changed.
For publishers
Add your site
A domain is all we need to start. We screenshot your homepage automatically, and you can replace that image with your own.
Set your prices
You decide what to charge. LinkHonk adds 20% on top for the buyer, so what you set is what you receive.
Prove you control it
Add a short code to any page on the site.
Accept the work you want
Every order can be declined, at no cost to you.
Get paid
After the placement is verified and the buyer's 72-hour review passes.
What we check
When a placement goes live we record:
- that the page loads and what it returned
- that it is on the publisher's own domain
- that your destination URL is there as a real link
- the anchor text actually used
- the rel attributes on the link, such as sponsored, nofollow or ugc
- whether the page is marked noindex
- where the link redirects to, when that is practical to follow
These are technical observations about the page. We do not grade links, and we make no claims about traffic, rankings or SEO outcomes.
Monitoring
Every placement includes 30 days of monitoring. We re-check the page and tell both sides if the link disappears, the anchor changes, the rel changes or the page goes noindex. You can extend monitoring to 12 months for $5 per placement at checkout.
