Why direct costs less

A marketplace adds layers.
We removed them.

When you buy a placement through a marketplace, you're paying the publisher's price plus the platform's commission, listing markups, and sometimes a bidding premium on popular sites.

We negotiate directly with each publisher and hold the relationship ourselves. What you pay is the publisher's rate plus one thin, fixed margin for managing the placement end to end — that's the whole model.

Typical marketplace — same DR 68 site $215
+ platform fee & markup included above

Editorial standards

No pulse,
no listing.

A site with real readers has a heartbeat — organic traffic, a consistent publishing rhythm, an audience that comes back. A site built only to sell links flatlines the moment you look at its analytics. We list the first kind and reject the second. Roughly 60% of sites pitched to us don't make it in.

Signal detected — listed

What gets a site listed

  • Verified organic traffic — Ahrefs & SEMrush data, not estimates
  • Twelve months minimum of consistent publishing history
  • A real audience in a defined niche
  • Editor or owner we talk to directly
  • Do-follow placements with replacement guarantee
Flatline — rejected

What gets a site rejected

  • PBNs and link farms
  • No measurable organic traffic
  • Listed in ten other marketplaces with zero standards
  • Accepts any article on any topic
  • Traffic from suspicious or purchased sources

Every publisher re-checked periodically. If a site loses its pulse, it leaves the catalog.

Straight answers

Questions we actually get asked

Do you use PBNs or link farms? +
No. Every publisher is a real editorial outlet with verified organic traffic and at least twelve months of publishing history. Around 60% of the sites pitched to us get rejected. If it wouldn't pass your own audit, it's not in our catalog.
Why exactly are you cheaper than marketplaces? +
No platform fee, no bidding system, no commission layer. We negotiate directly with publishers and add one thin, fixed margin for managing the placement. On average that lands about 30% below what major marketplaces charge for the same site.
Can I see the full catalog before paying anything? +
Yes — that's the whole point of the access model. Request access, get approved within one business day, and browse every publisher with full metrics and exact prices. No credit card until you place an order.
What do I need to provide for a placement? +
An article (typically 500–1,000 words), your target URL, and the anchor text. If you'd rather we handle the writing, mention it when you order — we can take care of it.
What happens if a link gets removed? +
We monitor placements after they go live. If a do-follow link is removed or changed within a reasonable window, we replace it at no cost on a publisher of equivalent metrics.
Do you offer white-label for agencies? +
Yes. Reports are delivered without PulseUp branding, ready to pass to your clients as-is. Agencies running volume can get dedicated workflows and priority turnaround — just mention it after access approval.
Which languages and markets do you cover? +
English (US, UK, AU, CA), Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Portuguese, and a growing set including French, German, Italian, and Dutch. Filter by language and country inside the catalog.
Is there a minimum order? +
No. One placement or fifty — identical pricing and process. We don't do forced packages; they exist to benefit platforms, not buyers.
