How it Works
At Link-able, we don’t build backlinks. Our authors do. We hire our diverse network of expert link builders (we call them authors) who have access to real sites to go out and build the most relevant, impactful backlinks for our users.
Here’s how it works:
01
Share sites where you can reliably build links and your rate for each. You should have solid connections with these sites.
02
We’ll send you relevant link building requests as they come in. Reliability is key, so we count on you to fulfill each accepted task.
03
Place the link, submit for review, and receive payment once approved. Earn consistently for each successfully built link.

To become a Link-able Author, you need two main qualifications:
1) Reliable access to real websites where you can place high-quality links (link inserts and niche edits)
2) Proven knowledge, skills, and experience in SEO and link building.
We look for professionals who can consistently deliver effective link placements and uphold high standards of quality and professionalism. Authors come from various backgrounds, including SEO experts, editors, website owners, and content writers, but all share the expertise and access needed to help our users secure impactful backlinks.
You should have access to real websites that receive real traffic. It’s that simple. No PBNs, low-quality sites, or platforms created solely for link building. We also discourage common self-publishing platforms like LinkedIn articles or Blogger, as these don’t meet our quality standards. The goal is to provide clients with valuable links on reputable sources that enhance their SEO and drive real traffic.
Yes, as long as they are good sites and you meet our Author qualifications.
As a Link-able Author, you have the flexibility to set your own price for each site where you can build links. We encourage setting rates that reflect industry standards to stay competitive, and we do have limits to prevent unreasonable pricing. Keep in mind, some authors may have access to the same sites, and in these cases, we may choose the author offering the best balance of price and reliability. While competitive pricing is important, reliability is key—authors who consistently deliver high-quality work will be favored, even if their rates are slightly higher.
No, there are no fees or paid subscriptions needed to join Link-able as an Author. If accepted, you will need to create your Link-able account, but can subscribe to our free plan (no payments necessary). From there, you’ll be able to start receiving link building requests and get paid for successfully completing them.
Payments are issued upon the successful verification of each completed link placement. Once your work is reviewed and approved, we’ll process your payment through PayPal (specific options will be confirmed soon). While we strive to send payments promptly, please allow up to one week for processing. Our goal is to ensure you’re compensated quickly and reliably for every successful job.
Yes, previous experience in link building or related fields (such as SEO, content writing, or website management) is required. We’re looking for authors who understand the basics of link placement and can reliably build quality backlinks on reputable sites.
Yes, authors can use our AI Link Finder, but you will still need to subscribe, just like any other user, to access its features.
The clients you’ll work with will likely come from industries relevant to the sites where you can build links. Link-able connects authors with clients whose businesses and content align with their site access, ensuring that all link placements are natural, contextually relevant, and beneficial for both parties.
No, authors do not communicate directly with clients. All link-building requests and communication are handled through Link-able to streamline the process and maintain client confidentiality. Authors receive assignments directly from Link-able and are not permitted to contact clients outside the platform.
If you lose access to a site in your Link-able portfolio, please remove it from your list on the Link-able platform as soon as possible. Keeping your portfolio up-to-date with accurate site access helps ensure you receive only relevant link-building requests and maintains trust with our clients.
If your application is approved, we’ll contact you directly to schedule an interview as the next step in the process. However, due to the high volume of applications, we’re unable to notify applicants who are not selected.
Utilize the power of AI and our diverse network of authors to build the most relevant, impactful backlinks.
Grow traffic, gain an edge.
