Home/Backlinks
Backlinks · UK EditorialBacklinks Google actually counts.
Most "backlink packages" are a graveyard of dead Web 2.0 properties, comment spam and PBNs that got deindexed months ago. LinkPress backlinks come from real, indexed, traffic-earning UK publications — the kind of link that moved rankings five years ago and still moves them today.
What you actually get
Three types of links. One rule: relevant or nothing.
The single biggest predictor of whether a backlink helps your rankings isn't domain rating or referring domains — it's whether the host page is topically relevant to yours. Every link from LinkPress is matched on topic first.
Niche Edits
Your link inserted into an existing, already-indexed article on a relevant network title. Faster than a guest post, often more powerful — the page already has age and traffic. More on link insertions →
Homepage / Sidebar
Site-wide placements on selected titles. Limited inventory, premium positioning. Best for brand-name anchors and long-term authority building.
The LinkPress standard
What separates us from the dropshipped backlink crowd.
Anyone can sell you "100 backlinks for £20" — Google will see them too, and not in the way you'd hope. Here's what LinkPress does instead.
Owned UK publications
Topical relevance
Contextual placement
Dofollow by default
Permanent
Indexed within 14 days
Diverse author profiles
No PBN footprints
"If the host page wouldn't be useful to a human reader, the link won't be useful to a search engine. We start from there." — LinkPress Editorial
When to use which
Pick the link that fits the job.
Best For: New Pages
Guest Posts
New site, new page, or a target URL with zero backlinks. Guest posts build the topical context Google needs to even start ranking you.
Best For: Ranking Boosts
Niche Edits
Page is on page 2 and you need a nudge. Niche edits push existing rankings faster because the host article already has equity.
Best For: Brand Authority
Site-Wide
Established brand wanting steady link velocity. Best used with branded anchors to avoid over-optimisation risk.
Best For: Local SEO
Local Editorial
Local business chasing Map Pack and "near me" rankings. Pair editorial mentions with citations and reviews for outsized lift.
Anchor text
The bit most link sellers won't talk about.
Over-optimised anchor text is the fastest way to turn a link campaign into a ranking drop. Every LinkPress campaign is planned against a distribution, not a wish list — and we'll push back if you ask for ten exact-match anchors in a row.
| Anchor type | Target share | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Branded | 40–50% | "Vesta Blinds" |
| Naked URL | 10–15% | "vestablinds.co.uk" |
| Generic | 10–15% | "this guide", "read more" |
| Partial match | 20–25% | "blinds fitted in Nottingham" |
| Exact match | 5–10% | "blinds Nottingham" |
Indicative starting distribution. The right mix depends on your existing profile — we audit before we build.
