Buying backlinks is one of the fastest ways to juice a site’s Google visibility—and one of the easiest ways to waste money on links that never get indexed.
A French netlinking platform called Linkuma is pitching a cheaper, more controlled alternative: backlinks starting at €7 (about $8) with the writing included, plus an indexation guarantee that promises a replacement if Google doesn’t pick up the link within 21 days. There’s also a promo path tied to an SEO creator, TristanSEO, that can unlock €15 in account credit—roughly $16—if you follow a specific signup-and-support process.

Linkuma positions itself as a streamlined marketplace for sponsored posts and backlinks—aimed at people who want links without negotiating with publishers, hiring writers, or managing a messy spreadsheet of placements.
The headline offer is price: placements start at €7 (about $8). Unlike many link-buying setups, Linkuma says the article writing is baked into the cost, so you’re not paying extra for content production after you’ve already paid for the link.
The big promise: an indexation guarantee within 21 days
Here’s the pain point Linkuma is trying to solve: you pay for a backlink, it goes live, and then it sits in Google limbo—never indexed, never counted, never helping.
Linkuma advertises a 21-day indexation guarantee. If a purchased link isn’t indexed by Google within three weeks, the company says it will replace it at no additional cost. For buyers, that’s essentially an insurance policy against “ghost pages” that never show up in search.
How the TristanSEO promo credit works (about $16)
The article’s main “hack” is a promotional credit tied to TristanSEO. The offer: €15 in Linkuma credit (about $16), but only if you enter through TristanSEO’s dedicated signup link.
After you register, you’re instructed to contact Linkuma support—via chat or message—and tell them you came from TristanSEO. The credit is then applied manually, according to the article.
There’s also a separate discount code mentioned—“WIZARDS”—that the article says can stack for roughly 15% off when buying credits. (As with any promo, terms can change, and readers should verify the discount at checkout.)
Pricing tiers: from about $8 to $35 per placement
Linkuma’s menu is built around a few core tiers, with minimum article lengths that increase as you pay more:
• Starter: €7 (about $8) for a placement on a general-interest site with at least 300 words of content.
• Linkuma tier: €10 (about $11) for more niche-relevant, themed sites with at least 450 words.
• Boost: €30 (about $33) positioned as higher “power” placements with stronger metrics and at least 500 words.
• Custom: starting at €60 (about $66), aimed at higher-authority or marketplace-style placements.
How Linkuma tries to lower costs further: credit top-up bonuses
Beyond promo codes, Linkuma uses a volume incentive: load more money into your account at once, and the platform adds extra credits as a bonus.
The article points to example top-ups starting around €100 (about $110), with bonuses around 15% in additional credits. The pitch is simple: stack a discount code plus a top-up bonus and your per-link cost drops.
Who this is for: from solo bloggers to SEO agencies
The platform is marketed at two very different crowds: beginners trying to get a first site off the ground, and professionals running larger campaigns.
For small publishers and personal blogs, the appeal is obvious—testing link-building without committing thousands of dollars up front. For agencies and consultants, the draw is operational: ordering in bulk, choosing anchors and target URLs quickly, and tracking placements in a dashboard.
Features highlighted: themed sites, anchor options, and fast turnaround
Linkuma’s workflow is designed to be plug-and-play. Buyers select a category, provide a URL and preferred anchor text (or generic anchors), and the platform handles writing and placement.
The article claims typical delivery windows of 24 to 72 hours for writing and publication, plus a dashboard that tracks link status and visibility.
What users say: strong ratings, according to the article
The piece cites high user scores—around 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot and 5 out of 5 on Google Reviews—based on 123 reviews referenced in the original write-up.
It also claims some customers report meaningful traffic lifts over a few months, including anecdotes of gaining roughly 40 to 80 clicks per day after link-building campaigns.
The bigger picture: cheap backlinks still come with real SEO risk
Even with an indexation guarantee, buying backlinks is still a high-wire act. Google’s guidelines have long discouraged manipulative link schemes, and the line between “sponsored content” and “ranking manipulation” can get blurry fast.
For marketers who decide the risk is worth it, Linkuma’s pitch is about control: clear pricing, content included, and a replacement policy if Google doesn’t index the page. The real test, as always in SEO, is whether those links move rankings without triggering the kind of attention no site owner wants.
