Vetting a niche-edit marketplace before depositing: a checklist

Vetting a niche-edit marketplace before depositing: a checklist

Pulled from buyer complaints and praise across a few communities.

— Sample one link first, never bulk-order, per a recurring Reddit warning.
— Ask for live examples on their actual inventory, not a portfolio (a forum thread).
— Check for PBN tells: templated themes, no real traffic, identical footers — an agency teardown lists these.
— Refund policy on dropped links in writing before paying.

Editor's note: the loudest complaints were always about permanence and undisclosed link networks.

Pick of the week: a community thread maintaining a shared blocklist of marketplaces caught reselling the same expired-domain inventory.
