Buy Backlinks That Come With Monitoring
Linkwatcher vs Adsy
Both platforms let you buy guest posts and link placements on real publisher sites. The difference is what happens next. Adsy hands you the link and the job is done. With Linkwatcher, every link you buy lands in a dashboard that watches it, so you know the moment it changes or disappears.
- Every link you buy is monitored automatically
- Get alerted the moment a paid link drops or goes nofollow
- A transparent 2.5% fee keeps publisher prices lower

Which one fits you
An honest recommendation
Both tools are good at what they do. Here is who each one really suits, including where Linkwatcher is not the right call.
Pick Linkwatcher if
- You want the links you buy to be monitored and protected automatically
- You want one dashboard for buying, tracking, and reporting on backlinks
- You want real time alerts the moment a paid link drops or turns nofollow
- You want lower prices from a transparent 2.5% publisher fee, not a hidden cut
Where Linkwatcher falls short
- Our marketplace inventory is smaller than Adsy's 150k+ site catalog
- If you only ever buy links and never monitor them, a pure marketplace may feel simpler
- Adsy has been a dedicated placement marketplace for longer, with deep niche coverage
Pick Adsy if
- You want the widest possible publisher catalog and 150k+ sites to filter through
- You only need to acquire links and already monitor them somewhere else
- You want access to a very deep range of niche sites for a single campaign
Why it matters
Buying the link is only half the job
Anyone can sell you a backlink. The real value is in what happens after it goes live. Here is the difference between sourcing links on Adsy and sourcing them somewhere that keeps watch.
The link you paid for, six months later
A buyer spends their budget on guest posts, gets the live URLs, and moves on. Four months later three of those links have quietly been removed during a site redesign, and nobody notices until rankings slip. The spend is gone and so are the links.
Same spend, very different return
Another buyer sources the same links through Linkwatcher. The day one of those posts is edited and the link is stripped, an alert lands in the inbox, the publisher is contacted, and the link is restored within the week. Buying the link is only half the job. Keeping it alive is the other half.
