General

What is Linkfabrik?

Linkfabrik is a link building service that sells placements on our owned network of ~100 content websites. Unlike marketplaces or brokers, we control the sites directly, which means faster turnaround, consistent quality, and full accountability for every placement.

Are these sites "PBN" (Private Blog Network)?

We operate an owned network of real content sites - each with genuine content, regular updates, and organic traffic. We don't use the term PBN because it has negative connotations with spam networks. Our sites are maintained as genuine resources.

That said, any owned network carries some risk profile. We'll share full site details privately so you can assess fit for your specific risk tolerance and use case.

Do you guarantee rankings improvements?

No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Rankings depend on many factors outside our control: your on-page SEO, technical health, competition, content quality, algorithm changes, and more.

What we guarantee: live links on real sites, editorial content, niche relevance, and replacement if links drop. The SEO impact is your responsibility to measure and assess.

What niches do you cover?

We focus on 4 niche clusters where we've built deep topical authority:

  • Pets & Vets - Pet care, veterinary, animal health (~25 sites)
  • Solar & Energy - Photovoltaik, renewables, German market (~20 sites)
  • Consulting & Sales - B2B services, German market (~25 sites)
  • Insurance - All insurance types (~15 sites, limited availability)
Can you place links in niches outside your clusters?

Generally no. We focus on niches where we have genuine topical authority. Placing a link about crypto trading on a pet care site would harm both the site and your SEO.

If your niche is adjacent (e.g., pet insurance overlaps with both Pets and Insurance), we can often find relevant placement opportunities.

Process

How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is 7-14 days from payment confirmation. This includes content creation, editorial review, and publication.

Rush delivery (3-5 days) is available for an additional 25%, subject to writer availability.

How do you select which sites to use?

We match sites based on:

  • Topical relevance to your niche
  • Your tier preference (A/B/C)
  • Current availability and publishing schedule
  • Natural link distribution (we avoid over-linking from any single site)

You see the exact sites before confirming - nothing is published without your approval.

Do you write the content or do I need to provide it?

We handle all content creation. Our in-house writers produce 600-1000 word editorial articles relevant to your niche. The content is original, informative, and naturally incorporates your link.

You can provide guidelines or specific angles if you prefer, but most clients leave content to us.

Can I choose my own anchor text?

Yes, with guidance. We'll work with you on anchor selection, but we advise following best practices:

  • Mix of branded, URL, and generic anchors
  • Avoid over-optimized exact match keywords
  • Consider your existing anchor profile

We'll flag any anchors that seem risky and suggest alternatives.

What reporting do I receive?

For each placement, you receive:

  • Live URL of the published article
  • Exact anchor text used
  • Screenshot of the placement
  • Guarantee expiration date (12 months from publication)

Retainer clients also receive monthly summary reports.

Quality & Trust

What happens if a link drops?

If any link goes down within 12 months of placement, we replace it at no charge. Simply report the issue via email, and we'll place a new link on a comparable site within 14 days.

No arguments, no fine print. If the link is gone, we fix it.

How do you ensure relevance?

Three ways:

  • Niche clustering - We only operate sites in specific verticals, so every site has genuine topical focus
  • Content matching - Articles are written to be relevant to both the site's audience and your link target
  • Editorial review - Our editors verify that placements make sense contextually
What's your editorial policy?

Our content standards:

  • Original content only (no spinning or AI spam)
  • 600+ words with proper structure
  • Natural language, no keyword stuffing
  • Links placed contextually (not forced)
  • Accurate information (we fact-check claims)

For YMYL niches (finance, insurance), we're extra careful about claims and include appropriate disclaimers.

Can I see example sites before committing?

Yes. When you request an inventory list, we share actual site URLs with metrics so you can evaluate quality firsthand. We don't hide behind anonymized lists.

Note: We share this information privately and ask that you don't publish or share it publicly.

What if I'm not satisfied with a placement?

If a placement doesn't meet our stated quality standards, we'll make it right. This could mean:

  • Content revisions if the article is subpar
  • Replacement on a different site if the site quality doesn't match expectations
  • Credit toward future orders in edge cases

We're not interested in keeping unhappy clients - we'd rather fix problems.

Pricing & Payments

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is based on:

  • Tier - A (premium) costs more than B (quality) which costs more than C (starter)
  • Niche - Insurance costs more than Pets due to limited inventory and higher demand
  • Volume - Bundles and retainers get 10-25% discounts

We provide exact pricing in our inventory lists - no hidden fees or surprises.

What payment methods do you accept?
  • Bank transfer (SEPA for EU, wire for international)
  • PayPal
  • Credit/debit cards

For retainer clients, we can set up recurring invoicing. Large orders may qualify for payment terms (50% upfront, 50% on delivery).

Do you offer refunds?

Once a link is published, we don't offer refunds - but we do offer our 12-month replacement guarantee. If you're unhappy before publication, we can pause or cancel with a full refund.

For quality issues post-publication, we focus on fixing the problem rather than refunding.

Are there bulk discounts beyond bundles?

Yes. For orders of 20+ links or retainers of EUR 5,000+/month, we offer custom pricing. This typically means 25-30% off standard rates, plus priority delivery and dedicated support.

Contact us to discuss volume pricing for your specific needs.

Do you offer trials or samples?

We don't offer free trials, but single placements serve the same purpose. Order one link at standard rates to test our quality and process. If it meets your standards, scale up with bundles or retainers.

Technical

Are the links dofollow?

Yes, all links are dofollow unless you specifically request nofollow. We place contextual links within the article body, not in author bios or footers.

Do you help with indexation?

Basic indexation is included - we submit new posts to search engines. For an additional fee, we offer enhanced indexation assistance (GSC submission, ping services, social signals).

Note: We can't guarantee indexation timing - that's ultimately up to Google.

What metrics do you provide for sites?

For each site in your inventory list, we share:

  • Domain Rating (DR) - verified via Ahrefs
  • Estimated organic traffic
  • Tier classification (A/B/C)
  • Niche/topic focus
  • Example URLs so you can review content quality
Can I see existing links on the sites?

We can share example posts with outbound links so you can see how placements look. We don't share full lists of client links for privacy reasons.

Our link density is managed - we don't overload sites with outbound links. Typically 1-2 links per post maximum.

Do you provide link monitoring?

We don't provide ongoing monitoring as a service, but we recommend you use your own tools (Ahrefs, Moz, Monitor Backlinks, etc.) to track your link profile.

If you notice a link has dropped, simply email us with the URL and we'll investigate and replace if needed under our guarantee.

How many links can I place per site?

To maintain natural link patterns, we limit placements to one link per domain per client per article. For multiple links from the same site, we'd place them in separate articles over time.

We also manage overall site link density across all clients to avoid over-optimization.
