How much does link building cost?+
Across 45,415 live listings, the median link costs $240. A 10-link campaign at any authority typically runs $1,808 to $4,220. Authority is the biggest cost driver: DR 60+ links cost roughly 1.9x the overall median.
Where do these numbers come from?+
Every estimate is a median of real listed prices on the CiteMP marketplace, filtered to your selections. Nothing is modeled or surveyed; the calculator recomputes when inventory updates.
Why medians instead of averages?+
A few $10,000 celebrity-site listings would drag averages far above what you'd actually pay. Medians describe the middle of the market, which is what a real campaign buys.
