8 publications picked them up. The best of them is Entrepreneur.com, where buying your way in costs about $3,500. Nobody bought this one. A journalist needed a quote and the answer was already there.
Wolf King USA is a small independent tech brand. No newsroom, no PR budget, no relationships with any of the outlets below. It ran on the same $99 plan you would sign up for, and this is the entire referring domain profile that came out of it.
The 2 at the top are the ones that move the needle. Entrepreneur.com reaches 689,826 people a month, GoodFirms reaches 168,964, and both of them printed a quote naming the brand. The rest arrived off the same pitching, running quietly in the background. It is our own site, which is why we can show you the full list rather than the highlights.

8 referring domains, 11 placements. Winsavvy carries 4 of them on its own. 5 domains link dofollow and 3 do not, and the table says which is which.
* A featured post on Entrepreneur.com sells for around $3,500. This is not one of those. It is an editorial quote inside a piece the writer was already working on, and Entrepreneur.com does not sell those at any price, so $3,500 is the closest comparable rather than a price tag.
Every other link is priced against what buyers pay for a comparable editorial link at that Domain Rating, minus $100 where the link is nofollow. Where a domain carries more than 1 placement we price the domain once, because 4 links on 1 site is not 4 times the value. These are estimates, not invoices.
DR and traffic come straight from Ahrefs, untouched. A 9th domain is left out of the table, a DR 0.2 scraper republishing the Entrepreneur.com article word for word. It is not a placement and we are not counting it as one.
Placements arrived while pitching was running. We stopped the pitching partway through, and the profile stopped moving. We started it again, and it started moving again. Being able to switch it off is the one experiment you cannot run on a paying client, so we ran it here.
What that tells you is where the work happens. Requests get matched and answered within 30 minutes of a journalist asking. Do that consistently and placements accumulate. Stop and they do not. There is no reservoir of goodwill that keeps paying out after the pitching stops.
What it will not do is produce a link on a date you choose. A journalist decides when to publish, so there is always a lag between the pitch and the placement, and no service removes it. The quiet stretches in this profile are that lag plus the months we were not pitching. Both are normal and you should expect them.
A $300 to $500 link works like this. Someone emails a blog owner, sends a bank transfer, and a guest post goes live on a DR 40 site with no readers. That market is real, and it is most of what agencies sell.
Entrepreneur.com does 689,826 visits a month. A writer there was building a piece on virtual presentations, wanted a product person who had an opinion, and quoted one from a tech brand with a fraction of a percent of its traffic. The link is nofollow, which we are telling you rather than letting you discover, and it is still the most valuable line in the table. Nofollow does not stop a reader clicking, and it does not stop the next journalist trusting a name Entrepreneur.com has already printed.
Nobody sells that placement. The way in is to already be in front of the writer on the day they need a quote.
None of the 8 placements above went to a brand anyone had heard of. They went to a small tech site with an opinion and something in front of the right writer on the right day.
You are not buying an instant backlink. You are putting a name in front of writers until the right request meets the right answer, which is exactly why the time to start is before you need it.
