Explain to me how they can provide links that cheap.
Hey guys,
I'm in France and our company was reached to get a backlink from Le Point (which is a big news company DR 90+). Their pricing is 2900€ for the link and 2000+ for pushing it on social media for a few days.
I am browsing the web to gather some information, and I found some dudes on fiverr or websites that are well ranked, that offer to get backlinks from high authority news websites (Le Point is in that list) for 140€. I even found one guy from pakistan that does it for 32€.
I understand that the service provided by Le Point is a 1 hour interview and directly by their media team, probably good quality content and some stats provided afterwards, but I don't understand how someone can get a backlink that cheap when the service is that pricey.
Do you guys have an explanation, is it a scam (fiver, etc), or are they (le point) just fishing for suckers?
Edit: One more question: do you think it's worth it? I'm tempted to get some skyscraper going with the backlink, but that's some serious budget for our small agency.

I know that trick, the legit website is ABC . com then they they sell backlink from ABC. net. shop. store…, that is why the price is low haha.

Sometimes those websites have blogs that are free to register and create content on them, so what they sell are links from those subsections of the website, but they are worthless. I had a similar situation on a big newspaper in Italy

They just claim that you will get link from that site and that!! But they end up wasting your time or they just give you a link from another site with the same name!! Don’t go to fiverr ever all the links they provide are just rubbish!! Keep searching hope you will find a loyal one who can give you link from that site.

You really wrote this here (and more) and later seriously asked if it was a scam??

It can, but most likely won’t, be legit. It’s very easy for someone that has access to the website to add links for personal gains to already published articles without anyone noticing. There are probably 10k+ pages/articles on their website. Who would notice if a link is added to some random page?

It might be a redirect, unlikely that it’s an actual link from the site.

Most likely a link edit or some backend blog or freepage or comment.
99% of the time if these links do even arrive they wont get indexed and are usually removed by the publisher so you get no money back -
You look to be comparing two distinct categories of services. The extra cost is justified by Le Point’s direct offer, which probably entails the creation of excellent content, a trustworthy backlink, and perhaps media exposure through their official channels. However, the less expensive offers from Fiverr or other platforms can be reselling low-quality links or even employing unethical SEO practices, which could eventually hurt the search engine optimization of your website.
It’s important to exercise caution; make sure the less expensive solutions are legitimate, as some may be scams or provide low-quality links. Le Point’s offer is pricey, but considering their authority, it’s definitely safer and more long-term SEO-friendly.
In the end, your organization may benefit more from a high-quality backlink than not, depending on your aims and budget.

Ask to see a sample of where the link will appear – ie, what section or category. You can then run it through Ahrefs or similar to see if there’s any traffic value. LOTS of sites have been hit hard with Google’s most recent algorithm updates and have lost a ton of traffic. I’ve seen websites that had thousands of visitors each day go to literally zero. So while the DA may still be relatively high, there’s no traffic to these sites.
Some of these websites also prop up the site with fake or spammy traffic, giving you the impression that there’s traffic value when, in reality, it’s all a faćade. But that’s a whole other conversation =)

It’s likely a scam.

Maybe it’s UGC backlink 🙂

Parasite SEO. Stay away.

Stay away from Pakistani sellers 🫡

Well, There are two possibilities of cheap. I my self provide guest post services from premium sites but not that low.
1: they have direct contact with Author of the sites or Writer Which offers them low rates.
2: secondly they may use Redirect option but this is only possible when the site is not providing any links so you get expired domain and redirect the page to your site page.
This is how it work.

Maybe you can ask for a sample link that they’ve provided on that website before? If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is unfortunately.
