A bulk backlink price checker lets you paste a whole list of domains and see what each one costs, instead of searching marketplaces one site at a time. If you work with outreach lists, client proposals or vendor quotes, it turns an afternoon of tab switching into a few minutes.
This guide shows you how to prepare your list, how to read the results, and how to turn them into a shortlist you can actually buy from.
Why use a bulk backlink price checker
Checking one domain is easy. Checking forty by hand is where mistakes and wasted time creep in. Bulk checks make sense when you have:
- An outreach list. You found a set of relevant sites and want to know which are sold on marketplaces, and at what price, before you email anyone.
- An agency proposal. You need realistic costs for a client’s campaign, based on real listings rather than guesses.
- A vendor quote. A link seller sent you a spreadsheet of sites and prices, and you want to know whether those prices are fair.
- A recurring campaign. Prices change, so a list you priced three months ago may look different today.
The same site is often listed on several marketplaces at different prices. A bulk check shows you those gaps across your whole list at once.
Prepare a clean domain list
The results are only as good as the list you paste. Spend two minutes cleaning it first.
- One domain per line. Do not separate domains with commas or spaces on a single line.
- Strip full URLs down to the domain. Turn https://www.example.com/blog/post-title into example.com. Prices are listed per site, not per page.
- Remove “www.” and trailing slashes so the same site does not appear twice in different forms.
- Remove duplicates. Lists merged from several sources often repeat domains.
- Drop obvious junk. Social networks, big platforms that do not sell placements, and dead sites only waste lookups.
A spreadsheet helps here. Paste your URLs in a column, use find and replace to remove “https://” and “www.”, then remove duplicates. If your lists tend to get messy, our guide to organizing guest posting lists has a simple structure to follow.
Add your quoted price after each domain
If a seller already gave you prices, you can include them. In LinkAcquire, put the price after the domain on the same line, separated by a space:
- example.com 150
- anotherblog.net 320
- nicheguide.org 90
The bulk backlink price checker then compares your quote with the live marketplace prices and shows how much you could save on each site. This is the quickest way to audit a vendor’s spreadsheet. If several sites come back much cheaper elsewhere, read how to spot inflated guest post prices before you reply to that vendor.
Lines without a price work too. You simply see the marketplace prices without a savings figure.
How to read the results of a bulk price check
Once you run the check in the free price checker, each domain gets one of two outcomes.
| Result | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Listed | The site is available on one or more partner marketplaces | Review the lowest price and the other options |
| Not listed | No live price was found from partner marketplaces | Use the links to check other marketplaces, or contact the site directly |
For listed sites, look at:
- Lowest price. The cheapest offer found for that domain, shown first.
- Other options. The same site at other prices, sometimes for different formats such as a guest post or a link insertion. Insertions are often cheaper than guest posts on the same site.
- Your savings. If you added a quoted price, the difference between your quote and the lowest offer.
LinkAcquire shows live prices from partner marketplaces, and partners are added or removed over time. A “not listed” result does not mean the site does not sell placements. It means no live offer was found from current partners, so follow the links to compare on other marketplaces.
Check that you are comparing the same thing. One offer may include writing while another does not, and sensitive niches such as casino, crypto or loans commonly carry a surcharge.
Export and organize your shortlist
A bulk check is the start of a decision, not the end. Move the results into a sheet with columns for:
- Domain
- Quoted price (if any) and lowest marketplace price
- Format (guest post or link insertion)
- Relevance and quality notes
- Status: shortlisted, rejected, ordered, live
Then vet the cheapest options for quality before you buy. A low price on a site with no real readers is not a saving. Our guide to what makes a high-quality backlink covers what to check. Once links go live, keep the same sheet and add the live URL, so it doubles as your tracking record.
Why there is a daily lookup limit
LinkAcquire is free, and that includes bulk checks. To keep it that way, accounts have a daily lookup limit. The limit exists to stop automated scraping of marketplace prices, not to slow down people pricing real campaigns.
If you have a very long list, split it into batches and prioritize the domains you are most likely to buy. Cleaning out junk and duplicates first also stretches your limit further. If you prefer the terminal, there is also a small open-source CLI.
FAQ
How many domains can I check at once?
You can paste a long list in one go, but each domain counts toward your daily lookup limit. For very large lists, split them into batches over several days.
Do I need to remove https and www from my list?
It is best to. Clean domains, one per line, give the most reliable matches and avoid counting the same site twice.
Why does a site show as not listed?
No live offer was found from current partner marketplaces. The site may still be sold elsewhere, so use the links to other marketplaces or contact the owner.
Is the bulk price checker free?
Yes. LinkAcquire is free to use, with a daily lookup limit to prevent scraping.
