Key takeaways

To rank in French, start with SEMjuice (premium, done-for-you) or the more affordable Ereferer and Soumettre.fr. For international SEO, Adsy and Collaborator.pro offer the widest catalogues, while Getfluence targets premium media.

Whatever the platform, quality beats quantity: a few topical, high-authority links outperform a pile of cheap ones. Use the DR/DA/traffic filters, vary your anchors and spread links over time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a backlink platform?

Start from your target market and budget. For ranking in French, favour French platforms with French publisher sites (SEMjuice, Soumettre.fr, Ereferer, Linkuma). For English or multi-country SEO, international marketplaces have far larger catalogues (Adsy, Getfluence, Collaborator.pro). Then weigh price against quality: cheap links from low-authority sites bring little, so use the DR/DA/traffic filters and prefer topical relevance.

French sites or international sites?

It depends on the language of the pages you want to rank. Google weighs links from sites in the same language and country more heavily, so to rank a French page, links from French sites work best — and vice versa for English. Platforms like Getfluence and Collaborator.pro are multilingual and cover many countries, which is useful for multi-market campaigns.

How much does a backlink cost?

It varies enormously by platform and by the authority of the host site. Entry-level guest posts start under $5 (iCopify) or around €10 (Ereferer, LinksClub, Linkuma). Premium editorial placements run to several hundred euros (SEMjuice, Getfluence), and top-tier media can reach thousands. There's no subscription on most: you pay per link.

Is buying backlinks risky for SEO?

It can be if done carelessly. Google tolerates editorial link building but penalises manipulative schemes: over-optimised anchors, a sudden spike in links, or links from off-topic or low-quality sites. The safer approach is to diversify anchors, spread links over time, and choose topically relevant sites — which is exactly why the filters (DR, DA, Trust Flow, traffic) matter.
