E-commerce Link Building: Selective by Design, Not by Volume
We’re not going to claim a huge e-commerce publisher list we don’t have one, and honestly, a huge list isn’t the point. Our e-commerce pool is smaller and deliberately selective: established retail and e-commerce publications with real authority, not a wide net of low-effort blogs. If you want volume above all else, this isn’t the right fit. If you want fewer, stronger placements, it is.
Our US E-commerce Publisher Pool, By the Numbers
Why This Pool Is Smaller on Purpose
Strong, established retail and e-commerce publications don’t need to accept every pitch that comes in and the good ones don’t. That’s exactly why the median Domain Rating in our e-commerce pool sits around 69, meaningfully higher than a typical general-niche pool. The tradeoff for that authority is size: there are simply fewer sites at this quality bar than in a broader, less selective category. We’d rather show you a smaller, honest pool than pad the numbers with sites that don’t actually move the needle.
Quality Over Volume
We’d rather place fewer links on genuinely strong retail and e-commerce sites than pad a report with low-authority placements.
Manual, Relationship-Based Outreach
Established retail publications get pitched constantly. A real, tailored pitch is what actually gets a response from this tier of site.
Transparent Reporting
You see the actual site, its traffic, and its relevance before you commit not just a Domain Rating number attached to a promise.
How We’re Different From a Generic Marketplace
| What Matters | Generic Link Marketplace | Your Link Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Pool size claims | Often inflated to look impressive | Honest about being smaller and selective, not padded |
| Vetting | Domain Rating only, often outdated | Real traffic and editorial fit checked per site |
| Outreach | Automated, high-volume pitching | Manual, relationship-based, matched to the publisher’s actual beat |
| Transparency | Site list often hidden until after payment | Real sample shown for your niche and budget before you commit |
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is your e-commerce publisher pool?
Smaller and more selective than our general pool by design median Domain Rating around 69, with typical monthly traffic ranging from the low thousands up to the high five figures for the strongest sites. We’re not going to inflate the count to sound impressive.
Why is the pool smaller than other niches?
Established retail and e-commerce publications with real authority don’t need to accept every pitch. Holding the bar that high naturally means fewer sites qualify, compared to a broader, lower-authority category. See our full pricing breakdown by tier here.
Is a smaller pool a bad thing?
Not if the goal is authority rather than volume. A handful of placements on genuinely strong, high-DR retail sites typically outperforms a larger batch of low-authority ones for both rankings and referral trust.
