Placing an article on someone else's site comes down to three calls: which host article, where the link sits, what the anchor says. Our list holds 50,000+ vetted domains to choose from.
Anchor text link building when the page belongs to somebody else
A placed article behaves like a landing page you rent by the sentence. Four decisions decide whether the link earns its keep.
Judge the host like a landing page
Read the article the way a visitor would. If the paragraph around your link would still make sense without it, the host is a good one.
Let the sentence choose the anchor
Keyword lists do not write sentences. Start from the wording the host article already uses, then pick the closest phrase you actually want to be found for.
Match the page you point at
The anchor makes a promise and the target page has to keep it. A reader who clicks "pricing worksheet" and lands on a homepage leaves.
Write the brief once
Topic, target URL, anchor wording and a few banned claims fit on one screen. Reuse it for every order in the campaign.
Checklist
Six checks before anything goes in the basket
The host article's topic still holds together if your link is deleted
The anchor reads naturally in the sentence where it will sit
Your target page answers what the anchor promises
DR, organic traffic and referring domains were read in the filter, not assumed
The host language matches the language of your target page
You picked a content mode: automatic, your own prompt, or your own finished article
How it works
From empty basket to a live link
01
Filter the list
Narrow 50,000+ donors by niche, language, DR, organic traffic, referring domains and price.
02
Choose the content mode
Give a target URL and keyword, write your own instructions, or upload a finished article.
03
Review the basket
Adding a row charges nothing. Look at the whole set and drop the weakest.
04
Pay and track
After payment the placement usually goes live within about 24 hours, and its status shows under ordered links.
Timeline
Four dated changes that explain how links get read
Penguin 4.0
Google folded Penguin into its core algorithm and let it run in real time, devaluing spam links instead of demoting whole sites.
Link attributes
Google added rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" next to nofollow, so paid and user-made links could be labelled.
Link spam update
Google began using its SpamBrain system to neutralise unnatural links, including those bought to pass ranking signals.
Core update and new spam policies
Scaled content abuse joined the policy list. Mass-produced pages are judged on what they are, whoever or whatever wrote them.
Who it is for
What we do and what we leave to you
We list donor sites, take your order and publish one article with one clean link to your page. That is the product.
Choosing a host whose readers care about your subject, and an anchor that fits its sentence, stays with you. So does the judgement about risk. Placements are permanent dofollow, and Google's link spam policies cover paid links that pass ranking signals, so a handful of well-matched placements beats a bulk order of anything.
ArticlesLander suits marketers who place a small number of articles with a plan. It is not a keyword suite, and for rank tracking or full backlink audits Ahrefs and Semrush go much further.
Prices run from $1 up to about $500 per link
No rank is promised for any placement

FAQ
Questions marketers ask before the first order
What is anchor text link building for a placed article?
It is choosing the clickable words of a link inside an article on another site, plus the article and the sentence around them. The goal is a link that reads naturally, fits the host page and sends a reader to a target page that continues the thought.
Which anchor does an automatic order use?
In automatic mode you supply a target URL and a keyword, and the article is written around them with one clean link. If you need exact wording, switch to your own instructions or upload a finished article and place the phrase yourself.
Can I send my own finished article?
Yes. Each order takes one of three content modes: automatic from a URL and keyword, your own prompt or instructions, or your own finished article. The finished-article route gives you the most control over where the link sits.
How long until a placement is live?
Usually within about 24 hours of payment. The placement is permanent and dofollow. After you pay it appears under ordered links with a status, so you can watch it move from paid to live without emailing anyone.
What does a placement cost?
Pay-as-you-go from $1 per link up to about $500 for top domains. Price follows donor authority, traffic and niche. There is no subscription, and adding rows to the basket charges nothing until you review it and pay.
Is a paid dofollow link risky?
It can be. Google's link spam policies cover links bought to pass ranking signals, and SpamBrain exists to neutralise them. We promise no ranking and no immunity. Fewer, better-matched placements on relevant hosts lower the exposure but never remove it.
