You pay the publisher. We charge one percentage.
Cost-plus, on separate lines. You set a budget per client, we decide what it buys and write the reason on every order, the publisher invoices you directly, and our fee is one line on its own. There is no rate card on this site, and that is a decision rather than an omission.

Why there is no rate card
- 01
Publisher cost varies tenfold
Across sites with near-identical traffic and authority, what they charge varies by a factor of ten. No metric you could tier by predicts it.
- 02
A tier price is a bet you lose
A flat price per tier loses money at one end and overcharges at the other, so the good publishers quietly stop being offered once the tier is set.
- 03
You see the real number
The publisher's own price, per domain, on the order, with the reason we chose it. Nothing folded in, nothing rounded up.
What lands in your inbox
Two invoices per placement, from two companies. One worked example at a publisher price of 300 euro and our fee at the 30% average. The article has no line because it has no charge.

Between 25% and 40% of the publisher cost depending on volume and market. It does not rise with the publisher's price, so an expensive site never quietly becomes a more profitable one for us.
Split lines mean you can mark up transparently, bundle into a retainer, or pass the publisher cost through at cost, whichever matches how you bill your own client.
What you actually pay
One price from the publisher, one percentage from us.
You pay the publisher directly. We charge a percentage of that, and nothing else. It is the only pricing model where you can check the supplier's margin yourself, because the publisher's own invoice is in your hands.
- 01
We choose the placement at the publisher's own price
The figure you see is what that publisher charges, and the order says why we chose it for the budget. Not a band, not a tier, nothing folded in.
Publisher's price, unchanged
- 02
The publisher invoices you, and you pay them
Their invoice, in your name, settled by you. We never sit on top of that money, which is the only way you can be certain the number was not moved.
Invoice 1: the publisher

We invoice our fee on its own
Between 25% and 40% of the publisher cost depending on volume and market, averaging around 30%. One line, one percentage, nothing else attached.
Invoice 2: our fee, ~30%

The article costs you nothing
Research, writing, the images, fitting it to the publisher's house style and handling their revisions. All of it is inside the fee rather than beside it.

Your client sees one price from you. The publisher invoice and our line stay with you, so the margin is yours to set and yours to see.
Marketplaces such as Bazoom, Collaborator and PRNEWS quote a single price with the publisher fee folded inside it. We do not know what any of them would charge you, which is exactly why their markup is a slider here rather than a number we assert. Set it to what you are actually paying and the comparison becomes yours rather than ours.
Our fee does not move with the publisher's price. A more expensive site never quietly becomes a more profitable one for us, which is the incentive problem every marketplace has and none of them mention.

Direct pricing sits above yours
We do sell directly to brands who find us on their own. Our direct pricing sits deliberately above typical agency retail, so a client who approaches us independently pays more than they would through you.
Your clients are suppressed in code
Every domain you register is excluded from our own outreach permanently, across every brand we operate. Not a clause with an expiry date.

Where our terms differ from the ones competitors publish
Read from suppliers' own public pages, September 2026. Stated policies, not quality. Every row is checkable against any supplier in five minutes.
| Dimension | Commonly published | LinkTribune |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic threshold | Often global traffic, from 500/mo | 2,000/mo in the publisher's own locale |
| Unmeasurable domain | Passes - absence is treated as clean | Fails. The check must run and pass |
| Relevance | Stated as “topically relevant” | A number per publisher-client pair, floor 40 |
| Guarantee window | Commonly 6 months | 12 months, replace or refund |
| Monitoring | Usually on claim - you report it | Nine states weekly, report to you monthly |
| Indexation | Rarely covered | Not indexed in 60 days is replaced or refunded |
| Late delivery | Claim-based, dates often non-binding | Automatic daily credit, no claim needed |
| Links per page | Not disclosed | Hard cap of two of ours per page, ever |
| Your clients | Non-circumvention clause, 12-24 months | Permanent suppression list, enforced in code |
| Pricing | Rate card, or quote on request | Cost-plus, publisher fee shown separately |
Cost-plus, quoted per order
No rate card, because publisher cost varies by a factor of ten across sites with identical metrics. A tier price is a bet, and the supplier never loses it.
