How to Get Backlinks from The Week

The Week has a Domain Rating of 84 and receives 5M+ monthly visitors. A single editorial link from The Week carries more ranking weight than dozens of links from lower-authority sites. Google treats The Week as a trusted, high-authority publisher, which is precisely why a link from them moves your domain authority faster than most other sources.

Paid link schemes involve paying directly for a placement with no editorial oversight, which violates Google's guidelines and risks a manual penalty. The The Week placements Dot Mirror secures are genuinely editorial: pitched through direct relationships with The Week contributors and editors, reviewed by their editorial team, and indistinguishable from organically earned links. They're compliant because they go through the same process any earned placement would.

Link inserts on existing The Week content typically go live within 14–21 days. Guest post placements require editorial scheduling and take 3–6 weeks from pitch to publication. We'll give you a specific estimate based on the type of The Week placement you want and your campaign brief.

A DR 84 link from The Week will meaningfully shift your domain authority and improve rankings on competitive keywords, especially when paired with a strategic anchor text that targets your highest-priority terms. Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days of their first high-authority placements going live.

Every placement comes with a 90-day link replacement guarantee. If a The Week link goes down for any reason within 90 days, we replace it with a comparable or higher-DR link at no additional cost. You can see the link URL, DR, anchor text, and indexed confirmation within 7 days of it going live.
