For publishers

Sell Links From Your Site Through an Invite-Only Marketplace

Linkfro buys editorial placements from vetted publishers on behalf of verified advertisers. You set your own rates, you keep editorial control over what runs, and you deal with one counterparty instead of fifty outreach emails a week.

  • Verified advertisers only — no anonymous resellers
  • You approve every brief before it publishes
  • Paid directly — no listing fees, no commission on your rate

The process

How selling links through Linkfro works

Most link marketplaces let anyone list a domain, then leave publishers waiting for orders that never arrive while buyers haggle the price down. Linkfro is invite-only on both sides. Advertisers are verified before they can spend, publishers are vetted before they can be sold, and the demand is already in the system before your site is listed.

Step 01

Submit your domain — or wait for us to find it

Most publishers reach us one of two ways. Either you send us the domain yourself, or our publisher team finds you while sourcing inventory for a live campaign in your niche. Both routes land in the same review queue, and neither costs you anything.

What we need up front

  • The domain and the sections open to editorial placements
  • Your indicative rates for guest posts and link insertions
  • Any niches, anchors, or link types you refuse outright
Step 02

Pass the publisher verification standard

Over 80% of applicant domains are rejected. That number is the whole product: advertisers pay Linkfro rates because the network is not open to anyone with a WordPress install and a PayPal address. Review is part automated, part manual, and always ends with a human opening the site.

What the review looks at

  • Authority and referring domains, checked against Ahrefs and Moz
  • Organic traffic history — real, sustained, no bot spikes or bought traffic
  • Spam and toxicity screening across multiple detection sources
  • Editorial quality: named authors, a real audience, no doorway or AI filler pages
  • Outbound link profile — sites that link out to anyone with a budget do not pass
Step 03

Set your rates and your editorial rules

Approved publishers price their own inventory. We do not run reverse auctions, we do not push you to undercut the network, and we do not quietly discount your rate to win an order. What you set is what the advertiser pays for your slot.

What you control

  • Price per guest post and per link insertion
  • Link attributes you will and will not issue
  • Turnaround time and monthly placement volume
  • Word count, formatting, and author byline requirements
  • Restricted categories you never want to see in your inbox
Step 04

Publish the placement, then get paid

Orders arrive as complete briefs — target URL, anchor, attribute, and content status already agreed with the advertiser. Accept the ones that fit your site and decline the rest without explanation. Once the placement is live and passes QA, it enters your payout balance.

How payment works

  • Compensation is paid monthly after placements complete successfully
  • Minimum payout threshold is $50 USD
  • Paid through the method set on your publisher account
  • No platform fee is deducted from the rate you set
  • Disputed or rejected placements are not compensated — see Publisher Terms

What we handle

Everything between the order and the payout

The work that makes selling links tedious — qualifying buyers, agreeing briefs, chasing approvals, defending a live placement months later — sits on our side of the transaction.

Buyer vetting

Advertisers are verified before they can spend. You are not selling to an anonymous inbox that disappears after the invoice.

Brief and content coordination

Anchors, target URLs, attributes, and drafts are agreed before the order reaches you, so you are not negotiating over email.

Quality assurance

Every placement is checked against the agreed brief. Disagreements are resolved against a written policy, not a chargeback threat.

Monitoring and reporting

Live placements are monitored for status and attribute changes, so nobody accuses you of removing a link you never touched.

One counterparty

One relationship, one payout schedule, one point of contact — instead of chasing a dozen agencies for a dozen small invoices.

A network worth being in

Continuous re-auditing keeps low-quality domains out, which is what protects your rates from being benchmarked against link farms.

The other side of the deal

What we ask of publishers in return

Rates hold up because the network is disciplined. These are the commitments every approved publisher makes, and the ones we enforce through continuous re-auditing.

Read the Publisher Terms
  • Keep placements live for the agreed duration and tell us before anything changes.
  • Use the exact link attributes agreed in the order — nothing swapped after publication.
  • No hidden links, misleading anchors, or automated placement without editorial review.
  • Disclose other domains you own if they are also in the network.
  • Keep the site's own standards intact: the audience is the reason the placement is worth buying.

Publisher questions

Straight answers before you apply

The questions publishers actually ask us, answered without the sales gloss. Anything else, our publisher team will answer directly.

Does it cost anything to list my site?

No. There is no listing fee, no subscription, and no commission taken out of the rate you set. Linkfro's margin sits on the advertiser side of the transaction, so the price you quote is the amount that reaches your payout balance.

What kind of sites get approved?

Sites with a real audience: sustained organic traffic, named authors, genuine editorial standards, and a clean outbound link profile. Niche relevance matters more than raw authority — a focused industry publication with modest metrics is often more valuable to us than a general-interest domain with a high DR and no readers.

How much can I earn selling links?

You set the rate, so earnings depend on your authority, niche, traffic, and how much placement volume you are willing to take. Commercial niches such as finance, SaaS, and legal command materially higher rates than general lifestyle content. We will tell you honestly if your pricing is out of step with comparable inventory in the network.

Will selling links hurt my site's SEO?

It can, if you sell indiscriminately. The risk comes from volume, irrelevance, and obvious footprints — hundreds of unrelated commercial links dropped into thin posts. Linkfro caps how much of your site becomes sponsored inventory, keeps placements contextually relevant, and supports whichever link attributes you choose to issue.

Do I have to accept every order?

No. Every order arrives as a brief you can decline, and you do not owe anyone a reason. Editorial control stays with you: if a brand, an anchor, or a draft does not belong on your site, reject it. Declining orders does not affect your standing in the network.

How and when do I get paid?

Compensation is paid monthly once placements complete successfully, with a minimum payout threshold of $50 USD, through the payment method registered on your publisher account. Disputed or rejected placements are not compensated. The full terms are set out in our Publisher Terms of Service.

Do you work with gambling, adult, crypto, or pharma sites?

Restricted categories are handled case by case and are never mixed into general inventory. If your site is in a regulated vertical, tell us during review — we would rather price and segment it correctly than have it surface in a campaign where it does not belong.

Put your inventory in front of verified buyers

Send us the domain. If it clears the verification standard, we will come back with indicative demand in your niche and the rates comparable publishers are earning.
