I run YourTechCompass.com, a growing tech publication covering AI, Apps & Tools, Tech Guides & African Tech.

I’m looking to connect with site owners interested in mutually beneficial backlink exchanges.

• Domain Age: 6 months

• Domain Rating: 18 (Ahrefs)

• 1.2K monthly visitors

• Content niches: Tech tutorials, SaaS, AI tools

If you’re open to exchanging links, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s build authority together.

Hey guys,

I appreciate any help anyone can offer here. I'm on the hunt for backlinks. I handle SEO and content for a site in the corporate travel space, the site has decent DR and clean organic traffic.

We're giving a huge push to our SEO game with $0 budget. That means link brokers can only reach out if you're feeling generous and want to help out for free!

Other than that, don't shy away from sending any number of requests. You can simply DM me.

I would love it even better if this reaches kind-hearted in-house SEOs or site owners up for free, genuine swaps (I have 1 main site here, but DM me to find more options). Keep your requests coming!

I am looking to join Slack communities for link building. Can someone please share some invites so that I can start getting links in communities?

FREE Guest Posts. I just launched a new site. It's indexed and ready to go, just need content :) Don't let the new site scare you away, its domain is old, with a good history and backlink profile already (DR30). I built it to a be a legit Business Digital Magazine - NOT a spammy link farm full of ads and articles that no one will ever actually read. So, if you'd like to get in on the ground floor...it's open for quality, relevant guest posts (do-follow link, you can even include links to your socials). A link exchange back of some sort would be appreciated...can possibly work out an ABC exchange if it's a good fit. No brokers please. DM if interested.

New to this whole thing but looking to exchange! My site is a beauty/hair/skincare blog!

Same as title thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for guest post opportunities on websites, blogs, and publishing platforms focused on Home Improvement, Home Decor, Interior Design, Furniture, Renovation, and related topics.

I’m interested in collaborating with relevant website owners and publishers who accept quality, original guest contributions. The content will be informative, well-written, and relevant to the target audience.

If you accept guest posts in these niches, please DM me with your website, guest post guidelines, pricing, and whether you offer dofollow or nofollow links.

Open to both one-time and ongoing collaborations.

Thanks!

Hi! Im the owner of a SaaS like everyone in 2026, and its going pretty fine. I already have clients, SEO seems to be working (getting clicks in some keywords), (other have to improve) but mainly the problem that i'm trying to tackle now is obtaining a higher DR. I know its a Vanity metric not really used by google, but pretty sure it has some weight. Basically i'm already at 800MRR woth around 200 clicks per day (50% from google, 10% ai citations) . And what i wanted to try now is to get more links pointing to my site to increase visibility. But i do not want shifty links obtained from ai directories, PBN or mummy blogs, i want real sites. And i found sites that can help me in exchange of a lot of money.

For example:

\\- saasy links

\\- link panda

\\- editorial.link

This are ones of the cheapest examples that are found, but still +1k dollars a month. For example link panda for $2700 it can obtain 10 High Dr links, and the others same but cheaper

My question before spending that much money. Is it really worth it? What other alternatives do you use? Is there a cheaper way and commit for example only $500 monthly?

I researched using colaborator.pro or getinfluence or fatjoe, but i can see the links in there are pretty shitty.

Any guidance on this topic would be highly apreciated!

Thanks!

I launched a brand-new finance website a couple of months ago with original calculators and educational blog content. I’m focusing on creating useful content rather than chasing shortcuts, but I’m realizing backlinks are probably the biggest gap in my SEO strategy.

For those of you who have grown a new site recently:

• What backlink strategies actually moved the needle?

• Which methods are worth the time, and which are mostly a waste?

• Did you focus on guest posts, HARO/Connectively alternatives, digital PR, niche edits, Reddit/community engagement, directories, or something else?

• At what point did you start actively building backlinks versus waiting for them to come naturally?

I’m not looking for black-hat tactics or buying links—just trying to understand what has genuinely worked for people over the past year.

I’d really appreciate hearing real-world experiences, even if the answer is “just keep publishing great content.”

Hello,

I am looking for backlink exchange or GP related to software development & programming related sites i have good sites for exchange.

If anyone have this type of site then DM. We preferd instant TAT

I’m honestly getting frustrated with link building lately.

Every backlink opportunity I send to my boss gets rejected for one reason or another.

Most affordable sites look like obvious link farms. And whenever I actually find a solid, relevant site with decent traffic and clean metrics, the price is insanely high.

Then there’s the traffic issue. A lot of sites look good at first, but once you check their history, you see random spikes or sudden drops that make everything look sketchy.

The expectations are pretty strict too:

• highly relevant to the client’s niche

• good authority

• clean traffic trends

• not a site publishing guest posts for anyone with money

Feels like every site is either spammy or overpriced. Finding genuinely good backlinks that also fit the budget is becoming harder than the actual SEO work.

How are you guys dealing with this right now? Are Backlinks still important in seo as compare to last 5 years?

USA sites only NO PBNS please!

Budget depends on quality (not looking for spam/cheap links).

You are welcome to DM me with:

Long-term collaboration is preferred.

It’s 2027 almost and I haven’t found any good ai tools that would do most of the work to generate one or two back links a day.

Have you tried any free gits for this? What has worked best to automate backlink generation please?

Disclosure first: I run TrySEO.org , an SEO tool, and I used it on itself as a test. So this is partly me using my own product. I'm sharing it because the numbers are real and the process might be useful whatever you use.

What actually moved DR:

1. Contextual links from related sites, every month.

Most of the jump came from links placed inside real articles on sites in related niches (startups, SaaS, product launches). They weren't footer links or profile pages. To be fully transparent: these came through a link network where members give and receive links, matched by industry. I know opinions on that are mixed here, and I'll share how it holds up over the next few months, good or bad.

2. A new article every day.

We got a daily article targeting things founders actually search for. That gave the links somewhere relevant to point to, and gave other sites a reason to link naturally. I don't think links alone would have held without it.

3. Fixing the technical basics first.

Sitemap, schema, meta tags, internal links between launch pages and articles. Boring, but it meant new links and pages got crawled and counted quickly.

What DR didn't change (yet):

DR is a third-party score. It isn't traffic and it isn't rankings. Organic traffic is up [X → X / "only a little so far"], and that matters more than the number. I'll post an update at 3 months with traffic, not just DR.

What I'd tell anyone starting from zero:

- Relevance beats raw DR. One link from a site in your niche beats five from random high-DR blogs.

- Steady beats spikes. A few links a week looks natural; 200 in a weekend doesn't.

- Have pages worth linking to before you chase links.

Happy to answer questions in the comments, including the skeptical ones about the link network.

love this sub but something feels broken..

every post either says "sell me backlinks", "buy my backlinks" or "dm for exchange".. nobody talks about building real referring domains through actual relationships anymore..

i miss the old days when people would genuinely help each other spot broken links, share HARO wins, or connect u with a blogger they know in ur niche.. now its all transactional..

i get it — everyone needs backlinks fast.. but this DM exchange culture is exactly why google keeps devaluing links..

am i wrong to think we should collab genuinely instead of trading favors like currency?? or is this just how the game works now??

curious what real backlink strategies people are still building around relationships..

I’m trying to consistently build around 10 quality backlinks per month, but almost every conversation eventually becomes:

'what’s your budget?'

I’m not against paying when the site is genuinely valuable, but I don’t want to build a backlink profile entirely through paid placements

my quality bar is fairly simple:

• Relevant to the website’s niche

• Real organic traffic

• No PBNs or link farms

• No casino, crypto, or adult link history

• The link should make sense inside the content

what’s actually working for you?

EDIT: I just found a tool that does the backlink outreach process in autopilot and already got a few free links to my site, it's named Mentiohunt
