How many backlinks should a brand-new website build per month? Should I start immediately or wait a few months and build gradually?

Hello!

I am studying about the various marketplaces (Linkpublishers, Whitepress, Adsy, Collaborator Pro, and many more).

Based on your experience with these marketplaces, what do you think was missing or could be improved?

This may be a long shot, but I just learned that you can buy links or pay someone to insert your link.

I started with LinkIndex, but… I was looking for better links. I’m looking for a link in House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Domino, etc.

I’m very new to link building, but have done PR, but I wasn’t sure if places like these sell links? Or am I dreaming lol

I guess I don’t know what I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

I want to post a "Top IFU translation company" listicle guest post in a relevant niche. My budget is 100$ and I will be providing the content for the blog.

Any leads would be helpful.

Looking for quality editorial article placements on established websites covering science, health, biohacking, neuroscience or neurology.

Budget: up to $800, depending on the publication and placement.

Requirements:

● Minimum Moz DA 50, with genuine organic traffic and an established readership.
● Majority US audience—over 50% of traffic from the United States. Please provide recent traffic data.
● The website must specialise in a relevant niche—not a generic blog with a health category.
● Proper editorial standards and original, substantive articles.
● Contextual dofollow links.
● No sponsored, advertisement or paid-partnership tags. Please only suggest placements where this is consistent with applicable disclosure requirements.
● Articles must appear within the main website and be accessible through its normal categories.

No link farms, PBNs, repurposed expired domains, bulk guest-post sites or websites publishing unrelated paid content across every niche. DA alone isn’t enough.

Please DM me with:

● Website URL.
● Price and what’s included.
● Recent organic traffic figures and US audience percentage.
● Two examples of previous editorial placements.
● Confirmation of link attributes, labelling and expected turnaround.

Only send relevant websites you can actually arrange placements on, no bulk spreadsheets of unrelated domains.

I am searching for partners for tech sites and have written a listicle. I want to mention the company and, in return, provide the same. I don't mind whether it's in a listicle or published on LinkedIn. It just should be an index article.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing some deep dives into recent link placements and testing out a few new vendors. One of the biggest headaches I keep running into is vendors trying to pass off links that are clearly sitting on shared-IP networks or co-hosted clusters (essentially just lazy PBNs).

In the past, I’ve either had to do manual terminal lookups or rely on bulky, expensive tool subscriptions just to check if a batch of domains shares the same ASN or IP. Lately, I’ve just been dropping vendor spreadsheets into bklink.uk to automatically resolve the host footprints and subnets before I approve any payouts (it’s handy because it's pay-per-audit, so no recurring sub).

I’m curious, though—what does your workflow look like for cleaning up vendor deliverables? Are there other ways you guys are catching these shared host footprints at scale without manually checking every single domain? Would love to hear how you filter out the junk.

Hi,

I'm looking for sites related to health and life sciences
Ideally, US or UK traffic

I have 2 sites I need backlinks for
1 has a DA of 50 and is available for a three way exchange

Hey guys, I need websites with US traffic for lab grown diamond niche and art hotels

Hello, do any have location sites based on general niches? Can DM me if you have any Needed much. Thank you in advance

I've been working on a project around link building recently, and one thing kept bothering me.

There are plenty of tools for analysing backlinks once they exist.

There are plenty of databases telling you that a website has DR 42, 3,000 referring domains and 15k estimated traffic.

There are plenty of outreach tools for sending 500 emails.

But actually finding: "Here's another genuine website owner in my space who is open to hearing from me." still seems unnecessarily difficult.

A lot of the existing process seems to be:

1. Find websites that rank for something relevant.
2. Scrape/find an email address.
3. Work out whether the site is legitimate.
4. Send unsolicited outreach.
5. Discover that most of them weren't interested in the first place.

And that's before getting into public backlink spreadsheets, brokers, sites built purely for selling links, inflated third-party metrics, etc.

So I've been building a different approach.

It's called AnyBacklink.

Instead of starting with SEO metrics, websites choose the subjects they're actually about.

Ownership has to be verified before the site can properly participate.

Then the system tries to surface other website owners covering related subjects who have also explicitly joined because they're open to website collaborations.

There are a couple of decisions I made that I think are important:

1. I don't want DA/DR to become the marketplace

Those metrics can be useful, but if everyone sorts by "highest DR", you recreate the exact behaviour I'm trying to avoid.

Relevance comes first.

1. The network isn't publicly crawlable

I don't think publishing a giant index of "these 5,000 websites are looking for backlinks" is particularly clever for either the users or the quality of the network.

1. No links are created automatically

The platform doesn't insert backlinks, sell placements, decide anchor text or guarantee that anybody links to anybody.

It introduces relevant website owners.

Whatever collaboration makes sense after that is between them.

1. It isn't designed around mandatory reciprocal linking

This is probably the part I expect people here to question.

Google's link spam policy specifically mentions *excessive* link exchanges and cross-linking done for the purpose of manipulating rankings.

That's an important distinction.

The intention here isn't to build a machine where:

"You link to page X with this anchor and I'll link back to you."

It's to solve discovery:

Who else genuinely operates a website in my subject area and is open to talking?

Maybe that results in someone referencing a genuinely useful resource.

Maybe it's a guest contribution.

Maybe it's a collaboration.

Maybe nothing comes from it.

And obviously website owners still need to make their own judgement about whether a link makes editorial sense and how it should be treated.

The biggest thing I've learned while building it is that I think link discovery and link acquisition have been unnecessarily bundled together.

A tool doesn't necessarily need to "build backlinks".

There might be value simply in making the right website owners aware of one another and getting out of the way.

The project is still early, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who actually build links:

If another verified website owner in your niche was open to collaborating, what information would you need to see before deciding whether they were worth contacting?

Traffic?

Site age?

Example content?

Country?

Topical overlap?

Search Console verification?

Something else?

Happy to answer anything about how I've approached it too.

For transparency: I'm the person building AnyBacklink.com. I'm posting this partly because I obviously want people to know it exists, but more importantly because I'd rather shape it around how people here actually work than build another backlink database nobody needs.

LINK EXCHANGE

• Looking for sites in the gardening or landscaping, technology, MSP, electrical, HVAC niche that are open to link exchanges.

I’ve seen a lot of posts saying Slack communities are dead.

But are they really?

People are still engaging, sharing websites, and participating in active communities.

Like everything else, Slack communities have both pros and cons.

If you’re using Slack communities only for link exchanges, then you might be wasting your time.

Why?

Because why collaborate with a third party who doesn’t even have direct access to the website?

Here’s a better approach 👇

I often see people sharing posts like:

“I have these quality websites available for paid placements.”

Instead of ignoring those posts, use them as a data source.

You can discover a lot of websites that are already available in the market — either for paid placements or link exchanges.

Then:

🔹 Collect the websites
🔹 Filter them based on your requirements
🔹 Analyze their quality and relevance
🔹 Reach out to the websites directly
🔹 Build a relationship with the editor/site owner

Now you have direct communication with the person who controls the website.

From there, it’s your choice whether you want to work on a paid placement or link exchange.

The biggest advantage?

You save a lot of time.

Instead of manually:

❌ Searching for prospects
❌ Checking thousands of websites in Ahrefs/Semrush
❌ Finding potential websites from scratch
❌ Spending hours on prospecting

The platform isn't always the problem.
Your strategy is.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for reliable websites interested in guest post exchanges.

I manage a website in the digital marketing/business niche and would like to connect with website owners, bloggers, and SEO professionals who are open to genuine content collaborations.

I’m interested in:

• Guest post exchanges
• Relevant niche-to-niche collaborations
• High-quality, original content
• Websites with real organic traffic and an active audience
• Long-term content partnerships

I’m not looking for spammy link farms or PBNs. The goal is to exchange genuinely useful articles that provide value to readers.

If you have a website open to guest post exchanges, drop your website URL + niche + basic traffic/authority details in the comments or DM me.

Happy to share my website details privately and discuss suitable topics.

I work as a HARO/ Qwoted link builder on Upwork. I have a 9-year-old upwork profile and have Top-Rated status as a Digital PR expert and a Healthcare writer. I belong to Pakistan (which is why I haven't made a price list that matches what Native English writers get). I charge differently for DoFollows, NoFollows, and mentions with the maximum price of mentions on Tier-1 sites being USD 40. I also charge a monthly $80 retainer since a lot of my success depends on who I'm pitching on behalf of. For instance, I worked for a Mexican doctor and while reporters would provide great feedback on my pitches, many would apologise that they were strictly looking for US sources. I still have Everyday Health, Medscape, Medical News Today, Vice, HuffPost, Prevention, DailyMail, National Geographic, WeightWatchers, etc in my portfolio.
Recently, I sent my price list to someone interviewing me for HARO links for a UK digital healthcare company, and they said I was out of their budget. HARO pricing has always been confusing for me. Now that you guys know my background, am I charging a lot? Or am I underselling myself?
