Our service gets updated so frequently that we decided to collect and showcase all the latest improvements in a dedicated blog post. At the same time, we’ll walk you through all the platform’s features — you might discover something new! ;)
What’s New
Top Marketplace Features
First things first — forget the word exchange. It’s now a Marketplace, period. We currently have a massive database of platforms, and it’s growing fast. In fact, we add at least 3,000 new platforms every month. So don’t worry — you won’t run out of link donors. And if you need thousands of links monthly or want a custom selection of platforms — just message your manager. They’ll definitely find something for you.
Here’s a quick reminder on how to use the platforms.
How to Navigate Platforms
Each platform in the list displays:
- Website
- Topic(s) (at least three, to give you a clearer idea of the content)
- DR and RD (to assess the domain’s authority)
- Traffic
- Country and traffic share from that country
To learn more, just click the "expand" button — that’s it. You can now evaluate link donors without needing to double-check in Ahrefs. A window opens with 6-month traffic trends (super helpful with ongoing Google updates that impact donor data), a list of categories, and even insights into "grey" niches — including specific prices for placing content in such categories.
You'll also see prices for Link insertion — where you can choose an already indexed article on a specific site and simply add your backlink to it. It's convenient and helps you cut down on copywriting costs.
Speaking of “grey” niches — if you're specifically looking for these types of platforms, we’ve added a dedicated filter for that. You can also narrow down your selection by choosing a specific category, and the system will only show platforms that accept "grey" content in that topic.
"Best Price" Filter
All platforms can be easily sorted based on whether you've worked with them before and by various other criteria — including the “Best price” option.
“Best price” means we’ve compared competitor pricing using LinkDetective (our system does this automatically within the marketplace) and highlighted the platforms where our offer is the most cost-effective. So when you apply the “Best price” filter, you're getting the most competitive link rates — without manual research or wasting extra time and effort.
Stop List & Favorites
Raise your hand if you hate scrolling through platforms that just aren’t relevant to you. Yep, we feel you — that’s why we built a smart solution: just click the “Stop List” icon and any unwanted links will be added to your personal stop list. Want to hide them from the marketplace? Simply apply the “Stop List” filter. (We’ll also be adding tooltips to all the buttons to make things even easier.)
You can use the Favorites feature the same way — just hit the heart icon to add platforms you like. When you're working with 50+ sites, this saves a ton of time.
Changed your mind? No worries — you can restore links just as easily.
Platform Comparison — When You Can’t Decide
If you’ve found a few decent options but aren’t sure which one to pick, we’ve got you covered. Just click the “Compare Platforms” button, add the ones you want to review (2, 3 — or even 5), and you’ll see a side-by-side table with key metrics like DR, traffic, and placement cost.
Saved Filters
If you often need to search for platforms with specific criteria — for example, in the “Finance & Investment” niche, with DR 40+ and traffic starting from 10,000 visitors — just set your filters, click “Save Filter”, give it a name (like “Main Business”), assign it to the project — and that’s it. Next time, just click on the saved filter and everything will load automatically.
You can also apply an additional filter that includes PBN links in the results.
We also have a little spoiler: our dev and marketing teams are currently working on a feature that will instantly notify you whenever new platforms appear that match your saved filters — or when we negotiate even better deals with webmasters for platforms you've liked.
So don’t hesitate to let us know what types of link donors you need to grow your projects — we’ll find them for you.
Of course, all saved filters can be easily edited at any time.
Cart & Order Placement
We’ve also revamped the cart — it’s no longer stretched across the entire screen and now looks much clearer. We added a “Total to Pay” field so you can instantly see the full cost.
But the coolest upgrade? A brief form for marketplace links. Click the “Edit” button next to a platform in the cart, and a form appears where you can enter:
- Your website URL
- Link type (Guest Post or Link Insertion)
- And if needed — a “grey” niche
Everything’s clear and neatly organized. Once all fields are filled in correctly, the “Place Order” button becomes active. If you missed something, the system will let you know right away.
The “My Projects” Section Just Got Even Better
What’s new?
- When creating a new project, you can now add your website URL, topic, and target geography — so everything’s in one place.
If you’re managing multiple projects, it’s now much easier to get back to work after a break — no need to waste time trying to remember the details.
- Need to open an existing project? Just click on it — done.
This is especially handy when you quickly need to check a project’s status — saves 5–7 seconds each time.
- The chat has also been moved to a more visible spot, and new messages are now highlighted with a red dot.
- And yes — you can finally archive projects (as long as they don’t have active services).
Finished a large quarterly project and already got paid? Archive it to keep your active list clean while retaining full history for future reference.
So when the client returns six months later with a new request — you’ll have all the details ready to go.
And the cherry on top.The new stats are super easy to access and use.
- You’ll now see all your links and their statuses in one place (only paid services are counted).
Previously, you had to count manually or export data to Excel. Now, just open the project and you’ll instantly see: total links — 45, in progress — 12, published — 33, along with start dates, deadlines, and types of links purchased — guest posts, crowd links, directories, etc. Time saved: 10–15 minutes.
Improved Project Reporting (and More)
We’ve optimized the space so more links now fit on a single screen. No more endless scrolling. You can now assess the full picture faster and make decisions more quickly — especially when working on 5–6 projects daily, this can save up to an hour of work time.
- Goodbye bulky buttons — hello elegant icons
- Made a wrong click? No worries — there's an undo button.
- The current project stage is clearly highlighted, and completed stages are clearly marked.
So when a client messages you asking for a status update, no need to dig through chats — just open the project and see the highlighted stage: “Text Approval”. That’s it — all project info is right in front of you. No more “Let me check with the person who’ll check”.
- Texts no longer take up space — they’re collapsed by default, but can be expanded at any time.
- Rejected platforms? We’ve pushed them to the bottom of the list in grey (where they belong).
Now it’s easier to focus only on the platforms you still need to work with — no time wasted on already processed ones.
Updated Dashboard — Everything Important at Your Fingertips
What’s new:
- Now, in addition to creating a new project, your two most recent projects are always displayed right next to it — super convenient and saves you time navigating the system.
If you spend 80% of your time working on 2–3 active projects, you can now access them with a single click. Over the course of a week, this can save up to 30 minutes of work time.
- Not sure where to start with link building — or already deep into it and looking for new opportunities?
Forget the back-and-forth — just one click to request a free 3-month strategy (and if you’d like, you can even chat with a manager).
We’ve also added the three most popular services directly to the dashboard. Need more?
There’s a quick link to the full services page and straight to marketplace links.
Improved Briefs
We’ve added convenient service packages to make life easier.
Now your client receives a clear, structured offer — and makes a decision faster.
- Crowd links: 30–50–100 — for any goal and budget
- Guest posts: 5–10–15
- Link insertion: now a separate service with 5–10–15 packages
- Directories: now customizable (minimum 10 — we’re professionals after all)
- PBN: customizable too (minimum 5 sites — anything less just isn’t serious)
We’ve also redesigned the brief logic — super handy when different business types need different strategies.
- Everything is structured: URL – GEO – Language – Topic
- There’s also a distinction between white-hat and grey-hat topics (with different pricing, of course).
- Each brief now supports comments, so if your client has specific requests.
There’s no need to message the manager separately — just leave a note in the brief. Fewer edits and faster delivery.
Updated Personal Profile
- We’ve added new fields so we can better understand your needs — and recommend the most relevant offers, checklists, and helpful bonuses.
- And very soon, you’ll be able to choose your own profile avatar (no more grey silhouette!).
New Header and Services Page
The header has been “slimmed down” and “refreshed”:
- We removed the side menu and placed everything essential at the top and under the profile icon — modern and convenient.
- The language switcher now smartly adapts to your browser.
We’ve completely revamped the services page:
- Now everything’s in one place — you can read about the service, see a content placement example, and instantly add it to your project.
No more “where is it?” or “how does this work?” — everything is intuitive.
Previously, you had to look for examples in presentations or ask your manager. Now you just open the service page, show your client a placement example, and add it to the project right away. Takes 30 seconds.
In Conclusion
Well, the LS platform has improved significantly. The marketplace is now more convenient, with new features for filtering and comparing platforms. The cart and briefs are now better structured — and we’re truly happy about it, especially because it enhances your user experience. We hope this guide helps you navigate all the features, especially if you’re using LS for the first time.
