CHOOSE A BACKLINK WORKFLOW
Which backlink workflow fits your job?
Choose a paid marketplace when you need to select a publisher and buy a placement. Choose DIY outreach when you want to approach specific sites yourself. LinkBunny fits site owners who can contribute contextual nofollow links and want their coding agent to work with a participating matching network.
The job matters more than whether a service has an API or MCP. Backlink and Adsy sell placements; DIY outreach builds relationships and negotiations; LinkBunny matches participating sites. LinkBunny does not replace a fixed client order or a campaign that needs a particular publisher.
Start with the work you need done

Compare control, cost and link requirements
Buying a placement, negotiating outreach and participating in an exchange create different obligations. Compare the work you keep and the terms you can confirm before comparing headline prices.
Public vendor and LinkBunny sources checked . Vendor descriptions are not independently tested delivery promises. DIY describes a workflow you assemble yourself. Sources are linked above and in each comparison.
Scroll the table horizontally to compare every field.
| Workflow | Publisher and placement control | What you pay for | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backlink | Compare publisher offers before ordering; publication follows the paid order. | Placement price plus the advertised platform fee; inspect the offer before paying. | Check the selected offer's link attributes and publication terms. |
| Adsy | Choose an offer, specify the content task and review the publisher's delivery. | Task pricing depends on the publisher and whether writing is included. | Review link attributes, content requirements and the task's delivery terms. |
| DIY coding-agent outreach | You choose prospects; each recipient decides whether to reply and publish. | Your agent, research and email tools, plus the time to operate and maintain them. | Agree suitable content and link attributes with each publisher. A reply is not a placement. |
| LinkBunny | Check in for one request from the eligible pool; assess its context before publishing. | $20/month founding plan for up to 10 active sites; no per-link fee. | Every marketplace link requires nofollow. Requests and backlink outcomes are not guaranteed. |
When LinkBunny fits
LinkBunny can reduce prospecting and email operations when you already control suitable site content. Your coding agent assesses each request, prepares a relevant placement and handles reporting through the Skill, MCP or API. Giving and receiving are separated across the network; publishing a link does not promise a return link from that recipient.
LinkBunny may return no request. A subscription does not guarantee a named publisher, quantity, date, ranking gain or backlink outcome. If you need a specific publication, compare paid offers or build a targeted outreach workflow. You can use those approaches alongside LinkBunny for different jobs.

Verify the placement you receive
After publication, use the free backlink placement checker to inspect the href, anchor text, rel values and redirects. A visible link does not prove indexing, permanence, editorial quality or ranking credit.
Google recommends qualifying paid links with sponsored, and accepts nofollow for that purpose. LinkBunny requires nofollow on every marketplace link. Link attributes alone do not establish search-policy compliance. See Google's outbound-link guidance and link-spam policy (checked 27 September 2026).
