Tier 2 Backlinks · Standalone Links

Ten cheap link types, one at a time. Because one type looks bought.

Profiles, wikis, article submissions, forums, comments, shorteners and .EDU. From 40¢ a link, pointed at pages you already own — never at your money site.


  • Four hundred forum links teach the wrong lesson. They announce the order form.
  • Four types cost 40¢ each. Forum profiles, profile backlinks, social profiles and shorteners.
  • The contextual types cost 80¢ to $1.20. Wikis, wiki articles, mixed platform, article submissions and comments.
  • .EDU is $2.40, warning left on. The product flags it not recommended for heavy use, and we kept the flag.
  • Buy several types, not depth in one. They're priced to spread, and spreading is the point.
  • Aimed at Tier 1 only. The money site is excluded from the asset list by design.
  • Indexing matters most down here. These platforms are the least likely to get crawled on their own.
  • Anchors come from rankings and Search Console. Spread across the links, or typed by you.

The cheap layer, ordered one type at a time.
So the links behind Tier 1 don't all look the same.

Nobody ranks on a forum profile. That was never the job.

Here's the job. Google finds a page by following links to it.

Your guest post needs links, and it needs them to look normal.

A layer made of one link type looks bought.

Four different types read more like something that grew.

All of them point at Tier 1. Never at your client's own website.

40¢ to $2.40 a link. The standalone types in the live catalogue, each with its own cost on the row. Nothing on this page costs more than $2.40.

The honesty these products require

These are not a ranking plan. They're the shape under one.

People buy cheap links in bulk, aim them at a homepage, then say cheap links don't work.

They're half right. Aimed at a money site, this end of the catalogue burns a profile.

Never point these links directly at your main or money website.

These are the lowest-trust products we sell.

Aimed at Tier 1 as a diversity layer under stronger boosters, they do a small, real job.

Site and blog aren't selectable. That isn't us being precious.

Want placements that earn trust on their own? Buy guest posts. Want graded weight? Buy authority bands.

Read the whole cheap shelf before you bulk one type.

Free account, no card. If you're about to order depth in a single type, stop and look at the table. Nothing on it is over $2.40.

How to actually use these

Buy four types. Not four hundred links of one.

These get a bad name because people buy one of them, in bulk, aimed at the wrong thing. Used the way they're priced, they do a real job.

  1. 01

    Pick the page first

    Articles, releases, guest posts and citations are already listed. Site and blog are excluded. Lowest-trust products, so target first, always.

  2. 02

    Spread across types, not depth in one

    Three or four different products against the same page beats one product ordered four times. A layer of four hundred forum links has a shape you can spot from orbit.

  3. 03

    Put the contextual types under the authority ones

    Article submissions and wiki article links put your link in a body of text. Comments, shorteners and profiles don't, and the product says so.

  4. 04

    Pool anchors from real data

    Tracked rankings and Search Console, spread across the links. Or type your own.

  5. 05

    Add the indexer if you want them to count

    A link that never gets crawled passes nothing. That's most acute down here. Three strengths sit on the form.

  6. 06

    Get one branded report

    Order six different products against one page and it's still one client-ready report.

What you end up holding

More than one shape behind the page you paid for.

Picture the layer under a guest post. A few contextual types, a few profile types, and zero homepage URLs.

Contextual placements
Article submissions and wiki article links, where your link sits inside a published body.
Profile and community links
Forum profiles, social network profiles and mixed profile backlinks. Diversity, labelled as diversity.
Trust-signal types used lightly
Wiki properties and .EDU placements, with the .EDU heavy-use caveat left on.
Volume and indexation types
Blog and image comments as a broad layer. Shorteners as lightweight indexation signals.
One branded report for the run
Every order in that run, grouped on the client record.

Pair these under an authority band. Don't replace it.

DA30 Authority does the load-bearing work. These change the shape around it. Credits don't expire. Buy the stack in the right order.

The countable facts

Ten products, with today's prices.

.EDU Authority
$2.40 today. A mix of .edu platforms. Flagged not recommended for heavy use, and that flag stays on this page.
Article Submissions
$1.20 today. Contextual links inside article-directory submissions.
Blog Comment Links
$1.20 today. A broad supporting layer for footprint diversity, not a primary authority push.
Wiki Backlinks / Wiki Article Links
80¢ each today. Wiki profiles and articles, plus contextual links inside wiki article bodies.
Mixed Platform
80¢ today. A high-volume blend of many platform types in one order.
Forum / Profile / Social / Shortener
40¢ each today. Diversity and indexation signals rather than authority.
The whole shelf, in money
40¢ a link at the cheap end, 80¢ to $1.20 for the contextual types, and $2.40 for .EDU. Nothing here costs more than that.
Where they point
Tier 1 pages only — your articles, releases, guest posts and citations. Site and blog excluded by design.
Anchor text
Pooled from tracked rankings and Search Console, or typed by you. Spread across the links.
Order extras
Indexer tiers one to three. Captcha backup, a second solving pass that completes roughly 130% more placements. Article batches. Social signals.
Indexing
Not automatic. Indexer tiers are a paid extra, and they matter most here.
Reporting
One branded report per publish run.
Minimum order
We don't publish one. Minimums come from the provider's live catalogue and show on the quantity field.
Delivery date
We don't publish one, for this or anything else we sell. The order status moves through its steps in the report.

Placement figures are ceilings, not promises. Dollar figures use the same credit rate the pricing page converts at, and buying credits in bulk lowers it. Catalogue prices come from the provider and can move, so the Order button is the price of record.

What it costs to find out

Read all ten standalone link types on one priced table.

The account is free and needs no card. Every standalone type sits on one table with its cost. Pick the page you want strengthened first, then spread across types.

Creating the account is free. Not a trial that takes your card "for verification" — no card at all, and no call with anyone.

And nothing expires on a timer. Credits sit in the account until you spend them.


When you're ready to spend

$0.35–$0.50

per credit, improving with the volume you commit to

What you are not signing

No contract, no minimum, no quote and no call. Buy credits monthly if the volume suits you, or buy a block once and owe nothing after it.

Every deliverable in the platform prints its credit cost on the button that spends it, so you always price the work before you run it.

Before you ask

The questions we'd ask before pointing this at a client.

What do these do for my SEO?
They change the shape of the layer behind a page you already paid for. Google finds a page by following links to it, so your guest post needs links pointing at it. It also needs them to look like they arrived over time rather than in one order, and that is what buying several types does.
Does a 40¢ forum profile link do anything?
On its own, close to nothing, and we won't pretend otherwise. What it does is add a different shape to the layer behind your Tier 1 page. That's the whole reason it's priced the way it is.
Will these move my rankings?
No, not on their own, and we won't suggest otherwise. Buy them underneath an authority band or a Web 2.0 run, where something stronger is doing the load-bearing work. These are depth, not the spine.
Can I point these at my client's site if I'm careful?
You can't. Site and blog are excluded from the asset list, and these are the lowest-trust products we sell, so that fence matters more here than anywhere else.
Why is .EDU flagged not recommended?
Because the product carries that flag, and deleting it to sell more would misrepresent it. The .edu space is high-trust, so it's worth a light touch at Tier 1.
Do they get indexed automatically?
No, and nothing indexes itself. Three indexer strengths sit on the order form, and this is the family where that matters most.
What's the minimum order?
We don't publish one. Minimums come from the provider's live catalogue and show on the quantity field.
What do they cost?
Forum profiles, profile backlinks, social profiles and shorteners are 40¢ a link. Wikis, wiki articles and mixed platform are 80¢. Article submissions and blog comments are $1.20. .EDU is $2.40.

The cheap layer, ordered one type at a time.
So the links behind Tier 1 don't all look the same.

The site above your client isn't always buying better links. Sometimes its booster layer just doesn't scream one order form.

Point four different products at one Tier 1 page. Read the report. Then put the authority band underneath, where the real work happens.

And keep the target where it belongs. Never the money site.

P.S. — Create the free account and open the table. Every type on it is between 40¢ and $2.40. If you were about to bulk a single type at a homepage, this page just saved you. Decide with the target list that refuses the money site.
