Backlink intelligence for guest posters
Know what a backlink is worth before you pay for it.
Every website we list is measured with real SEO data (authority, organic traffic, backlink profile, spam signals) and analysed by hand: who a link there suits, which link type fits, and the risks to check first.

8 metrics per site No invented numbersThe problem
DA and DR alone don’t tell you whether to buy
A seller shows a high DA, a traffic screenshot and a price. Beginners and seasoned SEOs face the same gap: nothing says whether a link from that site makes sense for your site. Every analysis here answers what those numbers leave open.
- Is this site worth a backlink, or a link farm with good-looking numbers?
- Who is this website a good fit for, and who should stay away?
- When does a link here help, and when is it wasted money or a risk?
- Guest post, link insertion or shared link: which one fits this site?
- What do its DA, DR, traffic and Spam Score actually say?
- What should I check myself before I pay for the link?
How it works
Three layers, always labelled
So you can tell measured fact from our opinion at a glance.
Measured data
Moz, Ahrefs and Semrush metrics plus the registry record, measured on a stated date. Anything unavailable is N/A, never guessed.
Our analysis
Transparent rules flag patterns like authority without traffic or a high Spam Score, and each flag shows its evidence. Then a human reviews the site itself.
Our recommendation
Who a link suits, which placement fits (guest post, insertion or shared link), the risks, and a checklist to run before paying.

The standards behind every analysis
No invented numbers
Every metric is measured on a stated date. A missing value is labelled N/A with the reason, never filled in or shown as zero.
Third-party metrics aren’t Google
DA, DR and Spam Score are useful estimates from SEO tool companies. Google has said it doesn’t use Domain Authority, and we never present them as proof of value.
Google’s rules, stated plainly
Paid links meant to pass ranking credit are link spam under Google’s policies unless marked rel="sponsored" or nofollow. Read the policy guide.
Specific, never generic
Every verdict is written for that one website from its own data. If two sites get the same advice, it’s because their data says the same thing.

Frequently asked questions
What is Rapid Palace?
Rapid Palace evaluates websites that offer backlinks, one site per page. Each analysis shows the site’s measured SEO metrics, what they mean, who a link there suits, the risks, and the checks to run before you pay.
How do you decide whether a website is worth a backlink?
We start from the site’s measured metrics, read them with published rules, then review the site itself: its niche, audience, contributor rules and the outbound links in recent posts. The analysis ends with one of five verdicts and the reason for it.
Are DA and DR Google ranking factors?
No. Domain Authority (Moz) and Domain Rating (Ahrefs) are estimates built from each company’s own link index. Google has said it does not use Domain Authority, so we treat both as rough, comparable signals rather than proof of a link’s value.
Is buying backlinks against Google’s guidelines?
Google’s spam policies treat links bought to manipulate rankings as link spam unless they are marked rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". Every analysis states the risk for that specific site, and our policy guide explains the rules in full.
Should I choose a guest post or a link insertion?
It depends on the site. A link insertion helps only on a page that already ranks and gets traffic, while a guest post is a new page that starts with no links of its own. Each analysis says which placement fits that website and whether it is offered.
How current is the data?
Each analysis shows the date its metrics were measured, separately from the date the analysis was last edited. Sites are re-measured over time, and a re-measure updates the figures on the page.
