The Link Building Price Index

What guest posts actually cost — by Domain Rating, category, and country. These are real averages computed from live listings across the Bazsy marketplace, not a vendor rate card, and they refresh as the catalogue changes.

The headline finding: price tracks authority steeply. A guest post on a DR 41–60 site averages $778 — about 13.2× the $59 average on a DR 0–20 site. Traffic climbs even faster, which is why relevance and real traffic — not the DR badge alone — decide whether a placement is worth its price.

DR 0–20$59$15 – $100499

The regional price gap

Location moves price as much as authority. Among the markets with the most inventory, VE publishers average $10 a guest post, while France averages $4,150. Non-English and emerging-market publishers routinely offer the same authority for less — the case for filtering by country and language, covered in our multilingual link building guide.

How this is measured

Figures are computed directly from live, vetted listings on the Bazsy marketplace and updated as the catalogue changes (last updated August 8, 2026). Prices are guest-post rates in USD; averages exclude listings without a published price. Because the index reflects live inventory, bands and regions with little current inventory will read “—” until more sites are added.
