Most of you know our story.
We started small. Worked only in the toughest niches (gambling, payday, pr0n, s3x toys, the big V for the men with the bent P). Directly with agencies only.
Then we went global with the Reach Creator brand.
Doing real outreach. Only building links to natural pages that make sense for webmasters to link to. Never paying for links.
But you all also know what happened - niche edits returned (the ‘hacked’ kind first, then more often paid links), paid links generally became huge.
Everyone wanted fast links. In DA buckets. That went to sales pages. With aggressive anchors.
Our paid links became our biggest product by miles - away from BuSo and sometimes for members here who asked for it, we were doing the same as everyone else but being more fussy and at a lower margin. No penalised sites. No outbound spam. No ‘write for us’. Heck we even sourced virtually all our own paid links instead of just reselling like half the agencies you find do.
We got seduced like you all did by the short term success paid links brought.
But as more and more joined us on that journey we started to see the few clients who stuck with natural links, with a minority just using paid links strategically to ‘snipe’ key pages, dominating more and more. Getting more long-term success. Hardly any of them even noticed the late 2022/early 2023 updates.

The truth is Dutka is right. Most link agencies are garbage. His list may be a tiny bit too long (it includes a handful of sites that aren't paid link farms/probably have only worked with the odd agency etc) but the concept is true.
Everyone selling links that aren’t guaranteed 100% not paid is basically selling links that are somewhere on that list.
Google knows it. You know it. And the majority of people who lost 80% of their traffic this year know it. Those links don’t work if they’re all your links anymore. Not for the long term.
We’re still here grinding real outreach. Finding real businesses, blogs and creators in your niche, location or who cover topics that make sense (even if the DA isn’t high enough for one of those buckets). But imagine the value of a link on a site that links to nobody vs a link from a site on Shane’s list that 50 agencies are using? Imagine the long term safety and not worrying about updates so much anymore?
Paid links are still powerful when used correctly - to boost tough pages that can’t get natural links or to get a site off the ground - heck use ours, they’re great - but they can only be part of your strategy going forward. Building up that site authority and relevance with natural links nobody else is getting is worth so much more than anything almost all the other vendors out there are pulling in.
Here’s our latest pricing and products. As always mention BuSo when ordering and you’ll get 10% off. These really are the only Pure links you can buy ‘in a box’. Need content - just order 10 links and I’ll even take care of the linkbait for you on any package (written linkbait is free, animated/designed linkbait extra).
