What RocketLinks is
RocketLinks is a French link building marketplace operating since 2010, connecting what it announces as 110000 blogs and press sites with 6000 advertisers and agencies. It covers French, German, English and Spanish, and it is one of the two or three genuinely large platforms on the European market.
Its own figure on market position is worth quoting carefully: it states that 87% of French SEO agencies with more than 10 employees use the platform, based on a study of LinkedIn data. Treat that as the platform's own research rather than an independent audit. Even discounted, it points at something real, which is that RocketLinks is the default account most French agencies already hold.
Scale, and what it changes
A catalogue of 110000 sites paired with 6000 buyers produces a genuine marketplace rather than a catalogue with a payment button. Prices move with demand, inventory refreshes, and the range of verticals covered, real estate, DIY, luxury, automotive, B2B, generalist and press, is wide enough that most campaigns find something relevant.
The cost of that scale is saturation. Sites listed on the largest marketplace in a country are the sites every competitor can also buy, and popular domains accumulate sponsored articles quickly. On a platform this size, your screening discipline is the entire difference between a good campaign and an ordinary one.
Check paid-link density on any domain you shortlist. A site carrying forty sponsored articles a year passes on very little, whatever its authority score says.
The offers and the pricing
Pricing is set per site and visible in the catalogue before you order, with no subscription. Placements are in sponsored articles and in partner media.
Because it is a marketplace with real competition on both sides, prices vary considerably: the same budget buys very different things depending on where you spend it.
How it works
You register, filter the catalogue by language, theme and metrics, and order with your target page and anchor. Sites are visible before purchase throughout.
Guarantees, limits and what to watch
Three strengths: fifteen years of operation, a visible catalogue, and four-language coverage from one account. It also holds a solid Trustpilot rating.
Two limits. There is no API and no affiliate programme, which is surprising at this scale. And the saturation risk is real precisely because so many buyers use the same inventory.
If you want inventory your competitors are less likely to be using, a smaller or closed catalogue such as Develink is worth holding alongside it.
