Buy high authority domains: what you really pay, and how, from abroad
You cannot take home a whole domain here. You buy a permanent placement on one, at a price that rises with its strength. This page explains the range and the money side.
Placement, not ownership
The phrase is slightly misleading. What you purchase is one dofollow link, set into an article or inserted into existing text, on a site that someone else keeps running.
Prices run from $1 per link to about $500 for top domains. That spread follows donor authority, organic traffic and niche, and it is why filtering before buying pays for itself.
If your goal is to own a strong domain outright, that is a different market with different risks. Buying aged or expired domains means auditing their past, a job we leave to specialists, so check our pyramid myths round first.
How to read a price in the donor list
| Signal on the row | What it pushes | What to ask yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Rating | Price up as it climbs | Does my page really need this much? |
| Organic traffic | Price up with visitors | Are those visitors in my language? |
| Niche | Price varies by niche | Is the topic close to my page? |
| Referring domains | A hint of the donor's own standing | Does it look natural for the site's age? |
A hypothetical $100 and a hypothetical $1,000
Example allocations only, using no real order.
$100
A handful of low and mid-priced placements in one language, aimed at one page. Enough to learn how a market reacts.
$1,000
A few premium rows plus a wider mid-range base, split across two markets with separate baskets so results stay readable.
Money questions we hear from abroad
Owners outside the dollar zone worry about three things: the exchange rate, the fee and the paperwork. All three are fair. The first two belong to your bank or card provider, so ask them before topping up.
Paperwork is the part we can help with, since invoices and proforma invoices are available from your account. Try one small top-up first, see how the receipt looks to your accountant, then decide how much more to add.
Plan the arithmetic in your own currency too. If a basket of $40 is a third of your monthly marketing budget, treat it with the respect it deserves, and read the language walkthrough before choosing donors.
The money questions, answered plainly
- Which currency are prices in?
- Prices are shown in dollars. Your card or bank may convert from your own currency, so ask them about the rate and any fee before you top up.
- How do I pay?
- You top up a balance in the dashboard and pay each basket from it. The balance is not topped up through the API, so the first step is always the dashboard.
- Can I get an invoice for my accountant?
- Yes. Invoices and proforma invoices are available from your account. A proforma helps when your finance team wants paperwork before the money moves.
- Is there a subscription?
- No. You pay per placement, from $1 upward, and nothing is charged until you confirm the basket.
- What if I want an agent to do the browsing?
- An AI agent over MCP, such as ChatGPT or Claude, can browse donors and fill the basket. Paying the basket stays a separate step that a human approves.
Before you top up
- Decide a ceiling in dollars for the month
- Ask your bank about foreign-transaction fees
- Choose the content mode: automatic, your instructions, or your own article
- Save the invoice details your accountant needs
- Build the basket first and sleep on it
