I saw one vendor openly stating this on their site: "We have an unlimited amount of inventory thanks to our very own SAPE-like network provided by a private friend who lives in a bunker and wears a tinfoil hat. This allows us to create a natural looking, stat-filled, niche relevant package of...

Unfortunately, that doesn't make any sense.

That sucks! If a significant percentage of those links disappeared, it further indicates that they might not have been placed with the knowledge of the webmasters in the first place. If they're being sold as guest post or outreach links, that sucks even more because someone can buy them (and pay...

There IS in fact a service on BHW that offers this, called RankNest/SERPShip, as mentioned by another BHW user: "I will be namedropping here. So it's a huge intel. Since last year I have been doing business with John Pim from Serpship.com (previously Ranknest). His profile is this one --...

Exactly. Can't believe some people justify even hacked links.

Dropbox image links that I'd posted above seem to be broken (maybe they're not meant to be shared directly), so along with fixed image links, here's a summary: This thread started receiving mixed responses, with some people saying they believed all "niche edits / revisionary links" were hacked...

If you check the other screenshots in the Dropbox folder, the buyer name seems to be made up just for the purpose of sending those emails/messages). Perfect argument. Wow! That's some serious stuff! I could spot other sites linking to the site mentioned in the OP in that Excel as well. I'm...

3 interesting screenshots from the Dropbox folder shared by the user "OnniChan": Reference: http://thehackernews.com/2012/10/15000-wordpress-blogs-hacked-for-making.html Responses from webmasters when asked about the links (from the same Dropbox folder by "OnniChan"):

Perhaps they're "too good (read: effective, convenient, scalable)" to admit the possibility of them being hacked. After all, you can buy from a pool of over "20,000 websites" (refer: https://dfylinks.com/niche-edits/) without needing to send even 1 outreach email. It's interesting to note that...

One way to be sure would be to email the sites who are suspected to have been hacked and exploited for backlinks and let them know about the links and ask them about them. The original author of the post (which I'm not) did that and posted a few replies that he got from such webmasters, which...

I won't stoop down to your level and attack you personally, but you're clearly ignoring all the other replies (including one of mine) which either indicate otherwise or present the other side of those hacked links branded as "niche edits / revisionary links". You may have an involvement with...

I know neither the author nor the owner of the site, but since when is hacking others' sites for personal gain a definition of "hard work"?

Free option: ExpiredDomains.net Paid option: DomCop Using these, you can basically filter all expiring and expired domains across various platforms like GoDaddy, NameJet etc. based on SEO metrics.

Just to clarify, I'm not the original author. I mentioned the source (Medium) at the bottom of my OP.

Or perhaps they'd restored the majority of those from Wayback Machine. Who knows!
