Provider reviews
Research-based reviews of link-building providers, built from their published prices and terms. We label what's a published term, what's a vendor claim and what's our view, and we say so when we haven't tested a service.
Run by DotMirror, a link-building provider. Not affiliated with FATJOE. How we stay fair
What every review covers
- What the provider sells, in its own words, with the catalogue page linked.
- Pricing with currency, unit and the metric bands behind each price, plus what a “from” price does and doesn't mean.
- The ordering workflow, especially whether you can approve sites before placement.
- Guarantees and exclusions, quoted rather than paraphrased.
- Strengths and limitations, labelled as our editorial reading.
- When the provider may fit, and when another option may fit.
- Alternatives, compared on the same terms.
What we don't do
We don't publish star ratings or scores, and we don't mark our pages up as customer reviews. Without buying and testing a service, a score would suggest a precision we don't have. We report third-party ratings a provider displays as that provider's claim. We don't collect reviews, and this site isn't any provider's review or support page.
Our conflict of interest
This site is published by DotMirror, which sells link-building services and competes with providers we review. Each review says so at the top, includes a section on when a competitor may be the better choice, and labels anything about DotMirror as a first-party claim. Providers can ask us to correct factual errors through our corrections page.
