How to Evaluate Backlink Sites

Use the database fields to prioritize backlink sites that fit your product, show useful SEO signals, and match your submission budget.

Start with relevance

A relevant backlink site is usually more useful than a random high-DR listing. Check whether the site's audience, category, or niche matches your product.

Compare DR with traffic

DR helps estimate domain strength as a third-party reference signal, while traffic references show whether the site still has real visibility. DR is not a Google metric and does not guarantee ranking impact.

Check the submission type

Some backlink sites accept free submissions, some require payment, and some ask for a badge. Review the type before spending time on a submission.

Review login requirements

Login-required sites may take longer to submit to, but they can still be valuable when the site is relevant and actively maintained.

Check link attributes

Some sites may use nofollow, ugc, sponsored, redirects, or other link attributes. Treat link behavior as something to verify, not assume.

Backlink Sites FAQ

What are backlink sites?

Backlink sites are websites where you can create a public listing, profile, product page, directory entry, or resource submission that may include a link back to your website.

What types of backlink sites are included?

This database includes directory sites, product discovery platforms, software listing sites, profile-based sites, startup directories, AI tool directories, and other websites that may accept website or product submissions.

How are backlink sites selected for this database?

Backlink sites are selected based on whether they have a clear submission path, useful SEO reference metrics such as DR and traffic, identifiable submission requirements, and enough relevance to be worth reviewing. Low-quality, inactive, or unclear submission targets are filtered out when found.

How often is the backlink sites database updated?

The database is reviewed weekly. Metrics, submission types, login requirements, and visible submission rules may be refreshed as sites change their policies or availability.

How should I choose which backlink sites to submit to first?

Start with relevance. A site that matches your product category, audience, or niche is usually more useful than a random high-DR site. After relevance, compare DR, traffic, submission type, login requirements, and how much effort the submission may take.

Are all backlink sites free?

No. Some backlink sites accept free submissions, some require payment, some ask for a badge or reciprocal placement, and some use mixed rules. Use the submission type field to compare the expected cost or requirement before submitting.

Are backlinks guaranteed?

No. Each backlink site controls its own review process. A submission may be approved, rejected, delayed, changed, or removed later if the site updates its rules.

Do all backlink sites provide dofollow links?

No. Some backlink sites may use dofollow links, while others may use nofollow, ugc, sponsored, redirects, or other link attributes. Link behavior can also change over time, so it should be treated as something to verify rather than assume.
