The short answer
For a SaaS-led cybersecurity company that wants to buy individual link placements, Husky Hamster ranks first in this list of 11: a flat $295 per link, DR 40+ and 2,000+ monthly organic visits on every publisher, hand qualification, client approval before each placement goes live, and 12 months of monitoring with free replacement. The other ten fit different jobs, from monthly packages to content-led campaigns to full demand generation. Last reviewed: October 27, 2026.

How we ranked
We used four criteria, and Husky Hamster’s position follows from them:
- Link quality standards: how a company screens sites, filters link-farm patterns and protects your domain.
- Niche focus: whether it shows work with cybersecurity, SaaS or technical markets.
- Transparency: pre-approval, clear reporting, and a monitoring and replacement term you can read.
- Evidence of results: case studies and verifiable placements, not link counts alone.
For a longer checklist, see how to choose a link building agency.
What a good cybersecurity link partner does
Cybersecurity companies can build links without risking their domain when the partner focuses on publishers with real organic traffic and technical readers, and qualifies each domain by hand before money changes hands.
Security content is judged closely because it affects infrastructure and data protection decisions. Search systems assess these pages against E-E-A-T standards, so placements need accurate technical phrasing, credible sources and publishers that security practitioners actually read.
A balanced program usually mixes four link types:
- guest posts on relevant technology and security publications
- link insertions inside existing, indexed articles that already get search traffic
- content-led outreach that earns editorial coverage
- brand mentions on comparison pages and software alternative lists
Most software teams also need links pointed at commercial pages, such as product pages, integration documentation and buying guides, because those pages drive conversions.
DR is a filter, never the verdict. A focused site read by security practitioners can be worth more than a broad, high-DR site with an unrelated audience. We explain why in why niche relevance beats authority in security.
Paid links and Google’s rule
Every company in this list sells placements, so this section applies to all of them, including us.
Google’s spam policies list buying or selling links for ranking purposes as link spam. They give advertorials and guest posts with links that pass ranking credit as examples. The same page says buying and selling links is not a violation when the links are qualified with rel=“nofollow” or rel=“sponsored” (Google spam policies, read October 27, 2026). In July 2021, Google added that excessive sponsored and guest posting without proper link tags can draw algorithmic and manual action (Google Search Central, July 26, 2021).
Search spam policies also flag automated link generation, large-scale link exchanges and manipulative paid links. Legitimate agencies use manual outreach and disclose publisher fees. Anyone who promises a ranking position without explaining publisher standards adds risk to your site.
The question to ask each vendor is which attribute its placements carry, and why.
What a traffic floor does and does not tell you
Ahrefs studied the top 10 results for 44,589 keywords in 2019 (page last updated December 18, 2025). It found that the number of referring domains with organic traffic did not correlate with rankings any better than the total number of referring domains. Ahrefs described its own numbers as correlations built on estimated traffic, which it said can be off by 3 to 7 times.
So treat a floor such as 2,000 monthly organic visits as a risk screen: it removes abandoned domains and many private networks. It is not proof that a link will lift rankings. That is our position, and it is why we do not promise rankings, traffic or timelines.
Detailed profiles
1. Husky Hamster (Andreea Paluszak)
Cybersecurity focus. Husky Hamster builds links for SaaS companies, AI products and software houses. It has operated since 2021, mainly for US and UK markets, which fits cybersecurity companies whose commercial model is SaaS-led. Andreea Paluszak, Head of Outreach, leads the outreach team.
Services. Link insertions (niche edits), guest posts, international links, brand mentions and link building strategy.
What stands out. Every publisher must pass two thresholds before it is considered:
- DR 40+: a filter that removes weak domains early, never the sole verdict.
- 2,000+ monthly organic visits: checked on the publisher domain to confirm ongoing search visibility and active readership.
A domain can show an inflated DR while receiving almost no organic traffic. The traffic check screens out abandoned domains and many private networks. After both checks, a person qualifies every domain by hand for topical relevance, editorial standards and audience fit. The client approves each placement before it goes live. Placements are monitored for 12 months, and a link that drops or a page that changes in that period is replaced free of charge. Husky Hamster is part of the non.agency group. Co-founder Rafal Moszkowcow has almost 20 years of SEO experience, including more than 15 years in agencies.
Ideal use cases.
- SaaS-led cybersecurity companies that sell to buyers in the US or UK
- security-adjacent AI products that need placements on technology sites
- teams that want written quality floors and manual site qualification
- marketers who want 12 months of monitoring and free replacements
Pricing. Flat pricing from $295 per link, with every link meeting both floors.
2. Jeenam
Cybersecurity focus. Jeenam is a link building agency for B2B SaaS. Its homepage describes monthly packages, not a cybersecurity-only practice.

Its homepage lists packages from 5 links per month at $1,250 (about $250 per link) to 30+ links per month at $5,100 (about $170 per link), targets sites with DR 50 to 90, and says you pay only for delivered links. It also lists continuous monitoring and replacement and a 15-step link quality checklist, without a stated replacement window on the page we read. An earlier Jeenam pricing page showed different tiers, so confirm current numbers with Jeenam.
Ideal use cases. SaaS teams that want a predictable monthly link count.
3. Linksman
Cybersecurity focus. Linksman is a self-service marketplace for guest posts, niche edits and listicle placements. It is not cybersecurity-specific.
What stands out. Buyers browse publishers and see metrics before ordering, and Linksman says it manually reviews every listed site and offers link replacement. Its pages quote different entry prices (for example, niche edits from $199 on one page and from $29 or $30 on others), and different publisher counts, so confirm price and inventory on the order screen.

Cybersecurity focus. AWISEE is a remote European agency that specializes in multilingual and international link building. Its pages list guest posts, niche edits and white-label work.

Ideal use cases. SaaS teams that want contextual links to commercial pages and a written refund option.
7. Ironpaper
Cybersecurity focus. Ironpaper is a B2B marketing agency with a cybersecurity practice built around demand generation, account-based marketing and content.
What stands out. It frames success as qualified leads and pipeline. On the pages we read, link building is not listed as a standalone service, so treat it as a marketing partner first.

Ideal use cases. Growth-stage SaaS and security firms that want SEO as a main lead channel.
Cybersecurity link building and AI answer engines
Google still dominates classic search. StatCounter lists Google at 89.94% of worldwide search engine pageviews for September 2026, down from 91.31% in July (measured, pageview-based, not query volume).
AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews add a second place where buyers look. In a June 2026 survey of 320 enterprise cybersecurity decision-makers by the Ponemon Institute and NOLA Marketing, research and survey reports had the strongest direct impact on selection (46%), and more than a third of respondents used AI overviews or chatbots in product selection (survey, self-reported).
GrackerAI, which sells AI-visibility software, reported in April 2026 that 73% of 100 cybersecurity companies received zero ChatGPT citations on buyer-recommendation prompts in their category, across 250 prompts (vendor-run benchmark, ChatGPT only). We found no public data showing that a brand mention causes an AI citation. Track citations alongside traditional search metrics, and do not buy links on a promise of AI results.
Vendor vetting checklist
Vendor vetting checklist
Tick each statement that is true for the vendor you are checking. Your ticks stay in this browser only.
0 of 8 Do not buy yet.
Text version of the checklist: score one point for each “yes” and read the verdict.
- The vendor states a minimum domain quality floor before you sign.
- A person qualifies every publisher, not only a tool score.
- You approve each placement before it goes live.
- Reports list live URL, anchor text, target page and publisher traffic for every link.
- The monitoring term and the replacement rule are written down.
- The vendor says which rel attribute its placements carry.
- You can compute cost per delivered link from the contract.
- The vendor does not promise rankings, traffic or timelines.
Verdict: 8 yes means you are ready to compare quotes. 6 or 7 means ask for the gaps in writing first. 5 or fewer means do not buy yet. Worked example: a vendor with a floor, hand qualification, approvals, full reports and a written replacement rule, but no attribute statement and no way to compute cost per delivered link, scores 6, so ask for those two gaps in writing.
Key takeaways
- Match the model to the job. Per-link buying suits a SaaS-led security team that knows which pages need links. Retainers and demand-generation agencies suit teams that need strategy, content or pipeline reporting as well.
- Compare vendors by cost per delivered link: the monthly fee divided by the links that actually meet your quality floor, not the quota on the invoice.
- Google lists buying or selling links for ranking purposes as link spam. Links are allowed when qualified with rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored" (Google spam policies, read October 27, 2026). Ask every vendor which attribute its placements carry.
- A traffic floor screens out abandoned and farmed domains. It does not predict ranking lift. Ahrefs' 2019 study of 44,589 keywords found that referring domains with traffic correlated with rankings no better than all referring domains.
- Replacement terms differ by vendor, from a stated 12 months to a window the vendor does not state on the pages we read. Get the window, and what counts as a dropped link, in writing.
- In one vendor-run benchmark (GrackerAI, April 2026), 73% of 100 cybersecurity companies received zero ChatGPT citations on buyer-recommendation prompts. Treat it as a vendor-run measurement, not a market census.
