Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a highly experienced link building specialist to help scale the authority of BuyVPS.com in a sustainable, long-term way.

This is not a bulk backlink job.

This is not a guest post marketplace job.

This is not a PBN job.

We are building a premium infrastructure brand in the VPS and cloud hosting space. Every backlink must strengthen brand trust, topical authority, and organic rankings.

We only want real editorial placements on real websites with real traffic.



Project Scope

Your responsibility:

• Prospect highly relevant websites in hosting, cloud, DevOps, infrastructure, cybersecurity, SaaS, and developer ecosystems.

• Perform manual outreach.

• Secure contextual editorial backlinks.

• Deliver approved placements with verified metrics.

We want quality over volume.



Strict Requirements Per Link

Every link must meet ALL of the following:

1. Relevance

• Hosting, VPS, cloud, infrastructure, DevOps, cybersecurity, SaaS, or developer-related topics.

• Content must be contextually aligned with the linking page.

2. Traffic

• Minimum 1,000+ estimated organic traffic per domain.

• Preferred 100+ estimated organic traffic to the linking page.

• Traffic must be visible in Ahrefs.

3. Authority

• DR 30+ minimum.

• DR 50+ preferred for higher-tier placements.

• Authority alone is not enough. Traffic and relevance matter more.

4. Risk Control

• No PBNs.

• No link farms.

• No obvious guest post networks.

• No sites overloaded with outbound paid links.

• Semrush Toxicity Score preferred 0–44.

5. Placement Quality

• Contextual in-body placement.

• No footer links.

• No sidebar links.

• No author bio links.

• Permanent placements only.

• No rental links.

6. Anchor Strategy

• Natural anchors only.

• No aggressive exact-match spam anchors.

• Mix of branded, neutral, and contextual anchors.



Process Structure

We work in two phases.

Phase 1: Prospect Approval

Before any outreach payment:

You submit:

• Domain URL

• Target page (if known)

• Niche category

• Ahrefs DR

• Domain organic traffic

• Linking page estimated traffic

• Semrush Toxicity score

• Proposed placement type

• Expected cost

We approve before outreach continues.



Phase 2: Live Placement Delivery

After the link goes live:

You deliver:

• Live URL

• Target URL

• Anchor text used

• Date published

• Screenshot of contextual placement

• Confirmation of indexation within 7–14 days

No payment for links removed within 60 days. Payment will be released after 60 days.



Budget Structure

We prefer a fixed price per accepted live link.

Example tier model:

• Tier 1: DR 30–49, 1K–5K traffic

• Tier 2: DR 50–69, 5K–20K traffic

• Tier 3: DR 70+, 20K+ traffic

Please provide pricing per tier, or per link if there is an opportunity for a link insert. Don't fool us with pricing, we've been here 20 years in the market. We know how to value prices. You may earn, but don't fool us. Provide purchase and sales price. Ensure the margin is clear. You can earn money.

Quality determines scaling potential. We are open to long-term collaboration.



What We Do NOT Want

• Fiverr-style link packs.

• Automated outreach.

• Generic blogs that publish anything.

• Sites that clearly sell links on every page.

• Irrelevant “business blogs” with no niche focus.



What We Value

• Deep niche understanding.

• Ability to evaluate real site quality.

• Long-term relationship mindset.

• Transparent reporting.

• Strategic thinking beyond DR metrics.
