What the most I should pay for DA70 backlinks?

[needtraffic24]

And how long will I start to see results?

It's not about the DA metric alone... Are the backlinks from quality niche-targeted sites and your targeting traffic pages?

That will increase the chances of seeing faster results.
In terms of pricing, that would depend on the niche too... Niches like finance and adult can be quite expensive.

What the average cost? According to the expert that would improve ranking in search results.

it's hard to say because it depends on many things (site quality, page quality, backlink quality, etc).

But assuming that everything is OK, I think you can pay anywhere from:

- $50 to $100 per month for a quality PBN
- $500 to $1000 (one time fee, although some sellers might want to charge monthly) for a quality niche edit
- $200 to $500 (one time fee) for a quality blog post

But again, it depends on many factors, because if that 70 DA is fake the link is worth precisely ZERO. So, you gotta know what you're paying for

Any tips on how to know what am paying for? I have bought before niche edit then my rank went to 80 average position on Google.

Any tips on how to know what am paying for? I have bought before niche edit then my rank went to 80 average position on Google.

as I mentioned previously, it depends on site quality, page quality, and backlink quality. There might be other things that could factor into the assessment, but I feel like these 3 are the more important ones...

Site quality... you want a site that google loves and / or trusts. Which sites does google love and / or trust? Well, the sites that have been ranking for a fair amount of time.

In my opinion, a site that's been having constant, or upward trends for the last 6+ months (although, for the last 12+ months ideally) for all of these things is a site that google loves / trusts:

- rankings
- indexed pages
- ranked keywords
- traffic

Even if a site doesn't tick all of these checkboxes, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad site. Some sites might have not been having a lot of indexed pages in the last 6 months, but if the other 3 metrics are at least decent, the site is worth getting a backlink from. So, do all of this research and use some common sense when assessing the quality of a site.

Also worth mentioning 2 other things that I nearly forgot:

- especially with niche edits you will want the site to have decent to high authority (DR). What is considered decent authority probably varies from one person to another, but for me decent means anything over 30 DR. But - of course - this DR would have to be legitimate, not fake. Which is where analyzing the backlinks in detail comes into play.

- it's possible for a site to meet all of these criteria but still be a link farm. And if this happens, sooner or later this site might be de-indexed, in which case your links will lose their value and - worse - your site could be de-indexed too if google suspects everyone that has a link from this site for foul play.

So, with regards to this 2nd point, you have to make sure that this "quality site" doesn't link out to every Tom, Dick, and Harry from each content page. If they do, it's most likely a link farm, and it's best - if possible - to refrain from getting links from it.

Now, there are some people (and I would do it myself too in certain cases, like if I was running a churn & burn site for example) who wouldn't mind still getting a link from such a website despite of them knowing that the site is a link farm and might get tanked at any point.

And such an offer is especially attractive if the site has 60 DR (and the DR Is real by the way, not artificially inflated), for example, but the site owner / editor offers niche edits for like $100-150.

You know that this is too good of an offer to be true, so you suspect that something's not right (or you outright know that it's not right ) but you still don't care because your c&b site might get tanked anyway long before this site gets tanked, so you can afford to waste $150 for a link that will make you few $1000s in a week. It's a calculated risk that sometimes you just have to take if it meets your goals

But yeah, in general, that's what a quality site means. If the site has been constantly ranking in, and getting traffic from google over long periods of times (3+ month at the minimum I would say, but preferably for 6-12+ months like I mentioned earlier), then any contextual backlink coming from it is considered a quality backlink even if the price seems high.

Page quality... I'm not sure whether the page quality is genuinely overlooked by many link builders, or it's simply not mentioned enough, but particularly with niche edits the page quality is paramount because if the page has high authority your link will be very powerful indeed. But if the page has low authority, the link might not be as powerful even if the site itself has high authority.

Since we are using Ahrefs' authority score (DR) to mention a site's authority, then we are also going to use Ahrefs' authority score for pages (UR) to mention a page's authority.

So, if we are talking specifically about niche edits, you will want a niche edit link from a page that has decent to high UR. And again, just like in the case with site authority (DR), the power of a page's authority also varies from one person to another, so I can't say what is considered decent page authority because my values are most likely different to yours.

But needless to say that if you're being charged $500 for a niche edit, for example, then the page authority (UR) should match the price, otherwise you're getting ripped off.

Personally, if I was charged $500 for a niche edit I would expect either the site authority (DR) to be at least 30 but the page authority (UR) to also be at least 30-40.... or if the UR is low (let's say 10-15) then - for this money - I expect that this page at least gets organic traffic (a few dozen visitors a month at the very least) but the site authority (DR) is also decently high (in this case I would be happy with a DR of at least 50...)

So, you gotta analyze everything in detail before you decide whether the price of a niche edit is fair or not, and not just look at the page's UR, or its traffic levels (although, a page with constantly decent google traffic and at least decent UR is almost always a must have backlink, even if the DR is not very high).

Anyway - if we're talking about niche edits exclusively - then the things to look for with regards to page quality are these:

- decent to good UR

- at least some lick of organic traffic to prove that the page is in good standing with google

- no other OBLs (Outbound Links) on this page, except maybe for links to big sites like Wikipedia, although - if the price is high - you might not want a Wikipedia link along with your backlinks either

- if other OBLs exist on this page (well, in this case I don't think I'd buy this niche edit to be honest ) at least make sure that your backlink is 1st or 2nd on the page as - many times - the links in these positions tend to get the most link juice

- the content is of decent quality (ie. if you find it informative and interesting when you read it, it's almost guaranteed that it's good quality) and (optionally) not generated by the AI (hard to find non-AI content nowadays, I know, but prefer human-written content if possible)

- last but not least (and this is something that I can't prove, but I feel that it's true, but I also don't see anyone mentioning), check which sites the page with your niche edit had linked TO before linking to your site.

Ideally, you will want to get a niche edit from a page that has never linked to other sites (excepting big sites like Wikipedia, obviously) before you. And the logic behind this is that if it's linked to other sites before then google already has this data, so they'll be able to tell that this site is a link farm, which - if I were to guess - is probably why your site dropped to 80 after you got that niche edit link. Probably google knows that THAT particular page (where you had your backlink placed on) links out to different sites periodically, so they've flagged / marked it somehow, and now, every site that gets a link from that page automatically inherits the penalty.

Backlink quality... I think this one's self explanatory, but in case that it isn't, just look for these:

- check the quality of the backlinks and the RDs that link to this site

- also check the quality of the backlinks and the RDs that link to this page (the page where your niche edit will be placed on)

- since we get niche edit links for their power and almost instant ranking boosts, you will obviously want a niche edit that is d0follow. If the link is nofollow (or if it - sneakingly - gets nofollow'd later on as some sellers do to the links they sell, without informing the buyers) at least you shouldn't be charged a lot of money unless the site is really trusted by google (think of sites like NY Times, BBC.co.uk, Forbes, etc)

There are probably more things you could pick on with regards to backlink quality, like anchor texts, natural flowness into the content, etc... but these things you can agree on with the seller. And if the seller is reasonable and cares about the partnership with you I'm sure (s)he'll agree to your terms anyway, especially if you give them an extra $50-100 for these minor "inconveniences"

And I think that's all... if I forgot anything let me know!

The price for DA70+ backlinks can vary a lot depending on the type and quality of the link.


If it's:


A real contextual link on a clean, high-traffic site — expect $100–$300 per link (sometimes more for premium placements).
A guest post or editorial with decent content — usually $70–$150 is fair.
A PBN or homepage placement pretending to be DA70 — those can be much cheaper ($20–$60), but they come with higher risk.

As for results it depends on your site’s current state, niche, and overall link profile. But in general:


You might see movement in 3–6 weeks for medium competition keywords.
More competitive terms could take 2–3 months or longer, especially if you're only relying on backlinks.

The best impact comes when links are paired with good on-page SEO and content updates.

A PBN or homepage placement pretending to be DA70

pretending

What about a site with a real authority of 70 which is not pretending to be real? (not making fun of you, but your "pretending" wording cracked me up lol)

IMO $20 is too little for a PBN link if the DA is genuine.... $60 might be where it's at, though. But even then, we are talking about rental instead of purchasing, right?

You might see movement in 3–6 weeks for medium competition keywords.

if we're talking niche edits I think it's too long... I mean, I did see nearly instant (well, within hours, but in terms of modern day SEO few hours feels like instantly ) ranking boosts from quality niche edits.

Now, to be fair to you, what I'm typing here is from other people's experiences as, personally, I've stopped doing SEO about 4 years ago. So, it's very possible that what you're saying is the new norm. But then, since I'm speaking from what I've noticed in other people's case studies / journeys, I also don't think that everyone else was wrong, which is why I am a bit conflicted on this and why I'm asking for details about your numbers (you can refuse to give details if you don't want to, of course, and I'm cool with it. But I still wanted to ask

The best impact comes when links are paired with good on-page SEO and content updates.

yeah, this seems to be the new recipe to success...

And how long will I start to see results?

The most you should pay for a DA70 backlink
varies, but generally, you can expect to pay
anywhere from $50 to $1000 or even more.
Prices depend on factors like the website's
authority, relevance to your content,
and the service's reputation.

 

[Titans]

It depends on the quality of the website, relevance, backlink quality, anchor placement, etc. If it's too cheap, it's probably not worth it.

And how long will I start to see results?

You need to wait for some time. Backlinks don’t bring top results overnight. It also depends on other factors like on page optimization, page speed, content quality, keyword competition, etc.

I bought a niche edit with DA 50 fast forward 8 months my average is 80.

 

[prince_nirala]

There are other things too to check before buying backlinks.
DA is not that much relevant metric for the backlink.
The website should have a clear record in Google Eyes. Traffic to that website must be genuine (not bot traffic).
Content quality that will make users click on your link.
Relevancy.

Now, come to the price, if you get what you want, then the price won't matter.

It will matter because I need a good ROI.

You're right, ROI does matter, and it's important to focus on that.
Backlink prices vary based on quality, traffic, and niche relevance. Sometimes, we need to balance price with long-term value, especially at the start.
There are many options out there, so it really depends on your goals and budget.
