A backlink is a link from another website to yours. Links help people discover your site, and search engines use them to find new pages and to understand how pages across the web relate to each other. Earning links from relevant, trustworthy sites is a long-term job, and the tools in this section are built to make the research part of that job faster.
Available now
- Guest Post Finder helps you find sites in your niche that accept guest posts. AI suggests candidate sites, then we open each one live, look for a write for us page and read it. Sites that explain how to submit are marked Confirmed, with the quoted proof shown. Pages that say the program is closed, and domains that do not exist, are removed before you see the results.
More tools coming
We are adding more backlink tools to this section. A tool will only be listed here once it works, and each one will explain where its data comes from.
How to approach guest posting
- Pick a specific topic and run the Guest Post Finder.
- Read each Confirmed site's guidelines and a few of its recent articles to see whether your idea fits.
- Look into the site's background. The Domain Age Checker shows how long a domain has been registered.
- Pitch an original article written for that site's readers, and follow the submission rules exactly.
Avoid paying for links that pass ranking credit. Google's spam policies treat buying links for ranking purposes as link spam unless the links are qualified with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow", and they also list links with optimized anchor text in guest posts distributed on other sites as an example of link spam.
To learn the basics, read what is a backlink and how to find guest post sites.
Frequently asked questions
What is a backlink?
A backlink is a link on another website that points to a page on your site. It is also called an inbound link.
Is guest posting still worth doing?
It can be, when you write genuinely useful articles for relevant sites and their readers. The problems Google's spam policies describe are paid links without the right attributes and keyword-stuffed anchor text spread across guest posts.
How does the Guest Post Finder avoid fake sites?
It visits every suggested site live. Domains that do not exist are dropped, and a site is only marked Confirmed when its guidelines page explains how to submit, with the quoted proof shown.
