The link exchange that keeps looking
Buy a guest post or a link insertion, and we re-read the page every day: the rel, the anchor, the robots tag, the canonical. Switched to sponsored in month three, and the payment comes back out of the publisher’s balance.
Both sides are here

This panel fills with real services and ad placements the moment sellers publish them. It is deliberately empty rather than seeded with examples.
LinkBourse is a marketplace for internet advertising where a buyer can hire the specialist and book the media in one order, under one escrow. It sells two things: advertising services — 551 types of work from paid search to podcast attribution — and advertising inventory, which is bookable space on newsletters, websites, Telegram and YouTube channels, podcasts, apps, communities, streams, CTV and digital screens. Nothing is listed yet; this page fills as sellers publish. What makes it different from a freelance marketplace is that advertising is measurable, so payment can be conditional on measurement: escrow for a placement releases against impressions and clicks LinkBourse counts at its own endpoint, plus a daily check that the ad is actually live on the page. A campaign that delivers 60% of the contracted volume releases 60% and refunds the rest automatically, without either side opening a dispute.
Every kind of internet advertising, from paid search to podcast sponsorship.
Booked 50 000 impressions at $18 CPM. $900.00 into escrow.

Nobody opened a ticket. The shortfall was refunded pro rata the night the flight ended, and commission was charged on the $759.24 that actually moved.
Advertising is measurable, so payment can be conditional on measurement.
Money leaves the buyer and sits in escrow. The seller sees it is there and starts work.
A campaign gets built, or a placement goes live on a real audience for the booked dates.
Impressions, clicks and a daily check that the creative is live. Services are reviewed against the brief.
Targets met, payment moves. Short delivery refunds the difference automatically.
For publishers
A site, a newsletter, a Telegram channel, a podcast, an app, a Discord. List the slot, choose the price model — flat, CPM, CPC or CPA — and open a booking calendar. You also get a public rate card at linkbourse.com/p/your-site: the “advertise with us” page you never got around to building.
For agencies and in-house teams
One organization, several members, shared payment method and a single statement. Buy media and services in the same order, keep the approval trail, and hand the client a report that matches what was actually delivered.
Two things. You can buy media here, not only labour: a newsletter slot, a podcast mid-roll, a banner on a real site, with dates and a booking calendar. And because advertising is measurable, escrow releases against measured delivery rather than a button someone clicks.
Placements run through our own tracker, which counts impressions and clicks and checks every day that the creative is live on the page. If a campaign delivers less than contracted, the difference is refunded automatically instead of becoming a dispute.
Only the badged ones, which is the point. Publishers connect analytics read-only — GA4, Search Console, Cloudflare, their email platform — and we pull the figures ourselves. Anything typed in by hand stays marked as self-reported.
Sellers pay a commission on completed orders and buyers pay a service fee at checkout. Media bookings carry a lower rate than services because the ticket size is larger. Nothing is charged for listing or browsing.
Yes. An organization holds members with roles, so an agency buys for clients and sells services from the same profile, with one payout account and one set of invoices.
Pick the exact job, fund it once, and let the numbers decide when the money moves.
