PBN provider comparison 2026
Five PBN link providers compared on published price, metrics, delivery and refund terms, plus an honest look at the risk. Written by a provider: we rank our own service first and say so up front. We’re the only one here selling both sticky homepage links and one-off posts, with optional tier-two boosts.

Short answer
PBN links are backlinks from a network of websites one owner controls, usually built on aged or expired domains. They are placed to pass authority to your site.
If you want to buy PBN links, the five providers below are compared on published price, metrics, delivery and refund terms. We’re one of them and rank ourselves first: we’re the only provider here that sells both sticky homepage placements and one-off posts, and our one-off posts are the cheapest per link on this list. The table shows where competitors publish more than we do. On published terms alone, ClickDo shows the most before you pay (sample domains).
Disclosure first
We sell links from our own network. SEOlutions has built and used private blog networks since 2012, so read our #1 spot with that in mind.
To keep the comparison fair, we used only what each provider publishes. We checked every pricing page, product page and refund policy on October 19, 2026. Where a provider doesn’t publish something, the table says “not disclosed” instead of guessing.
We did not place test orders with competitors, so none of the verdicts below are based on delivery we tested ourselves.

Why it mattersThe basics
A private blog network (PBN) is a group of websites owned by one person or company and used to link out to other sites.
Most networks are built on expired or aged domains. Those domains already have backlinks from their previous life, and the owner rebuilds them with new content. The links you buy are the contextual links placed inside those articles.
Two placement types
Sit on the homepage for a while, then drift into category and archive pages as newer posts push them down.
Stay pinned to the homepage for as long as you pay. The homepage usually holds most of a domain’s external backlinks, so this is the most valuable spot a PBN post can occupy.
Provider reviews
Each review uses only what the provider publishes. Where something isn’t published, we say so.
Our sticky service pins your article to the homepage of an aged network domain for as long as the subscription runs. It costs $119 per quarter for 10 links, or $189 for 20. One-off, non-sticky posts cost $99 for 10, or $9.90 per link: the lowest price per link on this list. The network has 80+ custom-coded sites with an average domain age of 8+ years. Each homepage carries at most 20 outbound links. We publish average DR (20–24) and referring domains (167–188) for each of our three niche clusters. We deliver live URLs, not screenshots, so you can check indexing yourself.
We rank ourselves first for three reasons. We’re the only provider here that sells both sticky homepage placements and one-off posts. Sticky orders can add tier-two High-Performance links that feed more authority into your PBN posts. And every PBN site is custom-coded, with no WordPress, plugins or admin logins to attack. The homepage cap and the cluster averages are published too. What we don’t show: domain names, before or after purchase.
See sticky PBN linksSaket Wahi is one of the best-known PBN sellers on Legiit. He sells 10 links for $110 (10-day delivery), 25 for $275 (20 days) or 50 for $550 (30 days), a flat $11 per link. The listing describes 1,500–2,000 sites at DR 5–40+ with 30–150+ referring domains (Ahrefs). It promises low homepage outbound links, different themes per site, blocked third-party crawlers and drip-fed delivery.
Articles are 300–500 words and general rather than niche-matched. Posts stay on the homepage for 4+ weeks, then move to inner pages permanently. The service shows 2,600 reviews averaging 5.0, and the seller lists 7,773 completed orders since 2018.
ClickDo is the only provider here that shows a list of sample domains before purchase. It lists 28 partly masked domains with DA 55–60 and partly masked IP addresses. Packages run from 5 links for $75 to 100 links for $1,350, all advertised as DA 50+ / DR 40+ permanent contextual placements.
Rank-Jacker has sold links since 2014 and offers three tiers. Budget links (DA 30+) cost $15, Advanced (DA 50+) $20, and Premium (DA 50+, niche-relevant) $25. Orders are processed within 48 hours. Agencies can order in bulk through a reseller dashboard.
SerpAbove sells PBN posts in three packages: 20 for $300, 40 for $600 and 60 for $900. That’s a flat $15 per link. Packages advertise DA/DR 20+ sites with low homepage outbound links. The seller has a long marketplace history, including 455 Fiverr reviews averaging 4.8.
Sticky or one-off
Every other provider on this list sells one-off posts only, as far as their pages show. We sell both formats from the same custom-coded network, so you can mix them in one campaign.
$119per quarter for 10 links · $189 for 20
$99once for 10 links · $149 for 20
Want the most links for your budget? One-off posts at $9.90 are the cheapest per link on this list, with the same capped homepages and live-URL reports. Want to hold the homepage spot? Sticky costs about $4 per link per month and keeps it for as long as you pay, so it wins once you need more than a month of homepage time.
Four providers on this list sell one-off posts only. On their published terms, our one-off package is the cheapest per link and the most transparent.
| Provider | Price per link | Min. order | Time on homepage | Homepage outbound links | Metrics | Report | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEOlutions one-off | $9.90 | 10 links ($99) | While the post is new | Max 20 | Avg DR 20–24, 167–188 RDs per cluster | Live URLs | 10 business days |
| Saket Wahi | $11 | 10 links ($110) | 4+ weeks | “Low” (no number) | DR 5–40+, 30–150+ RDs | Partial report | 10 days (10 links) |
| ClickDo | ~$13.50–15 | 5 links ($75) | Not disclosed | Not disclosed | DA 50+ / DR 40+; 28 masked samples | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Rank-Jacker | $15–25 | Not disclosed | Not disclosed | Not disclosed | DA only | Not disclosed | Processed within 48 hours |
| SerpAbove | $15 | 20 links ($300) | Not disclosed | “Low” (no number) | DA/DR 20+ | Screenshots | Not disclosed |
On published terms, our one-off posts win on four counts: the lowest price per link ($9.90), the only stated homepage outbound cap (20), live URLs instead of screenshots or partial reports, and articles matched to your niche cluster. Every post also sits on a custom-coded site.
For balance: Saket Wahi’s network is larger (1,500–2,000 sites against our 80+) and has 2,600 reviews on that one service, so very large monthly orders can spread across more domains there.
Tier-two boost · sticky only
Tier-two links point at the PBN articles that link to you, not at your own site. They add authority to those articles and keep the higher-volume links one step away from your domain.
We build them with High-Performance Links, our best-selling service since 2012. They are dofollow homepage and inner-page links on real, established websites. That inventory is separate from our custom-coded PBN. Add them when you order sticky PBN links. They make the most sense for competitive keywords, where you want the PBN layer itself to carry more weight.
How our network is built
Most PBNs run on WordPress. It’s a good CMS when someone keeps it updated, and we’re not knocking it. But running dozens of WordPress installs as a link network is an outdated way to build one.
Every install brings a login page, a theme and a stack of plugins that need constant patching. When maintenance slips, those sites become easy targets for automated attacks: hacked network sites get spam injected, outbound links swapped or removed, or the whole site deindexed. That takes your links with them.
Our 80+ PBN sites are custom-coded, with no plugins or admin logins. There’s nothing to patch, nothing to brute-force and no shared WordPress footprint for an algorithm to group. Each site is individually designed, fast and never interlinked with the rest of the network.
| Factor | Typical WordPress PBN | SEOlutions network |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | A WordPress install per site | Custom code per site |
| Plugins and themes | Need regular security updates | None |
| Admin login page | On every site | None |
| If maintenance slips | Open to known exploits | No CMS to exploit |
| Shared footprint | Same CMS paths, themes and plugin code | Individually designed and coded |
| Interlinking | Varies by seller | Zero |
The honest part
It depends on your risk profile. PBN links still have their place, and experienced link builders keep using them where they work best: competitive niches where outreach links alone won’t move a page, local SEO, and money pages stuck on page two. They’re also a staple for affiliate and iGaming sites, where earned links are hard to come by.
What PBNs aren’t is risk-free. Google’s spam policies treat links created “primarily for the purpose of manipulating search rankings” as link spam, and buying links is the first example they list. Since its December 2022 link spam update, Google says SpamBrain can detect both sites buying links and sites used to pass links on.
In practice, detected links are usually neutralized rather than punished: they stop counting, so you lose the money, not the site. Manual actions still happen, mostly where a site’s whole profile looks bought. That’s why the network matters more than the tactic. Detection works on patterns across many sites, so a well-built network holds up and a sloppy one gets ignored.
A good fit for affiliate sites, competitive and local niches, and pages that need a push past strong competitors. Be more careful with a brand site you can’t afford to put at risk. Either way, keep PBN links to one layer in a mixed profile.
The factors below decide how much risk you take on. None brings it to zero, so treat any “100% safe” claim, including the ones on some pages above, as a red flag.
Sites that share a theme, code, analytics IDs, author names or legal text are easy to group together. Different designs and code per site matter more than different hosting.
Topic-consistent articles on sites with several categories, not spun 300-word filler.
A deindexed PBN post passes nothing. Check site: results before and after delivery.
A homepage with 100 commercial links looks like a link farm, to people and to algorithms.
Network sites that link to each other give the network away.
Lead with branded, URL and partial-match anchors. Use exact match sparingly.
Network links work best as one layer next to guest posts and PR, niche edits and earned links.
Before you pay
Run every provider through the same ten questions, including us.
Masked is fine; nothing at all is not.
You can’t check indexing or anchors from a picture.
What happens if a post isn’t indexed after 30 days?
Read the product page and the refund policy side by side.
Ask for the cap. Under 20 is a good sign.
Sticky, or a regular post that slides off the homepage within days?
Both are easy to inflate on expired domains.
Ask for an example article from the network. Read it as a visitor would.
Ask how sites differ in design, code and ownership signals. Vague answers like “unique IPs” alone aren’t enough.
A provider that says “Google-safe” is either naive or misleading you.
Choose the right link type
A PBN gives you control and price. Guest posts and niche edits give you real publishers. Most competitive campaigns use both.
| Factor | PBN posts | Guest posts | Niche edits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who controls the site | The link seller | An independent publisher | An independent publisher |
| Typical cost | Low to mid per link | Higher, priced per publisher | Mid, priced per publisher |
| Control over anchor and placement | High | Medium | Medium (existing article) |
| Real audience and traffic | Usually little | Often yes | Often yes |
| Risk profile | Higher | Lower | Lower to medium |
| Speed | Fast | Slower (editorial review) | Fast to medium |

From the providers we checked in October 2026.
In our experience, price tracks how many links share a homepage more closely than it tracks DA. Before you buy PBN links at any price, ask how many outbound links each homepage carries and how long your post stays there. Then compare cost per month of homepage placement, not cost per link.
Questions

Contact the teamThey are backlinks from a private blog network: sites owned by one operator, usually on aged or expired domains, built to pass authority to other websites.
Yes. Google’s spam policies classify links bought or created mainly to manipulate rankings as link spam. Detected links are usually ignored rather than penalized, and aggressive cases can lead to a manual action. Whether that risk is worth it depends on your site, your niche and the quality of the network.
They can, when the network has real content, few outbound links and no shared footprints. Low-quality networks are often already ignored by Google, so results vary widely by provider.
Between about $10 and $25 per link from the public price lists we checked. Sticky homepage placements are usually sold as a subscription: ours cost $119 per quarter for 10 links.
Yes. One-off posts cost $99 for 10 or $149 for 20, with no subscription. They start on the homepage and move into category and archive pages as new posts go up. Sticky posts stay pinned to the homepage for as long as you subscribe.
High-Performance links pointed at your sticky PBN posts rather than at your site. They sit on established websites, separate from our PBN. They add authority to the PBN layer. You can add 50, 100 or 200 links for $150, $300 or $450 when you order sticky PBN links.
No. Every site in our PBN is custom-coded, with no plugins or admin logins. There is no CMS to patch or attack and no shared WordPress footprint.
A link in an article that stays pinned to the PBN site’s homepage for as long as you pay, instead of moving into the archive as new posts are published.
Usually not. Most providers, SEOlutions included, let you pick a niche and show masked metrics, but don’t reveal domain names. That protects the network for every customer.
