The Team Behind Link Rain:

Our Origin Story

This service was created when we discovered how to turn sponsored posts into a great source of additional income—independent of Google—for authority sites.

We’ve managed dozens of 5-, 6-, and 7-figure authority sites since 2016 with varying levels of success. These sites tend to have a solid base of links (e.g., DR30+) with optimized content and nevertheless, many of them have been subject to the all-too-frequent Google algorithm updates over the years.

You know the feeling…

Now, the beauty of selling sponsored posts is that you can leverage your existing web asset without compromising your existing SEO strategy. Plus, you can have a fairly consistent revenue stream that isn’t directly proportional to your rankings and organic traffic.

Here’s why we really love this approach:

Selling guest posts has been a key strategy to regaining revenue lost from display ads and affiliate sales when traffic has dropped on our websites—as well as supplementing the income on sites with level or growing traffic.

In fact, several of our websites now make more from sponsored posts alone than they ever did from ads and affiliate revenue!

Now that we’ve been at it for several years we have processes in place for onboarding new websites into our system, reaching out to acquire new clients, as well as effectively cross-selling and negotiating with previous clients to create new income streams.

In summary, we know where and how to find link buyers to create a new, passive monetization stream for your site.

What do we look for in sites to partner with?

These are general guidelines, but typically link clients prefer:

• Ahrefs DR20+ (the higher, the better)
• Moz DA20+ (yes, some clients actually still use DA…)
• 1,000+ Ahrefs Traffic (the higher, the better)
• Majority US-based traffic

The better your metrics and the higher quality your website is, the more money link clients are willing to pay for the privilege of getting a backlink from your site.
