On autopilot
BlogSEO builds the contextual links for you
Finding niche sites, pitching them and writing guest posts takes weeks per link. BlogSEO does it every day without a single email: it writes and publishes SEO articles for your site, and places links to your pages inside articles on related websites.
See how the backlink exchange works →Matched by topic
Every day, BlogSEO pairs your site with a related member website. Sites with a high spam score are filtered out.
Inside the article
One link to your most relevant page, written into a sentence of a long-form article. Never in a footer or a link page.
Dofollow and verified
Standard HTML links with no nofollow. Our crawler checks every live page, and lost links are refunded and replaced.
A natural pace
One new backlink a day at most, never reciprocal, so your profile grows the way earned links do.

FAQ
Free backlinks, answered
What to know before you submit your site anywhere.
What is a dofollow backlink?
A dofollow backlink is a regular link with no rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" attribute. Search engines read it as a vote of confidence and pass part of the linking page's authority to yours. Every site in the dofollow part of this list was checked on a live listing or profile page.
Are free directory backlinks still worth it in 2026?
Yes, as a foundation. They help search engines and AI assistants discover your brand, send some referral traffic, and the best ones are pages people actually read. On their own they will not rank a page: for that you need contextual links from articles in your niche.
Do nofollow links help SEO?
Not directly: a nofollow link does not pass authority. They still bring visitors, brand searches and mentions on pages that AI assistants read, and Google treats nofollow as a hint rather than a rule, so they are worth the few minutes they take.
How many sites should I submit my website to?
Start with the 20 to 30 most relevant sites for your type of business, spread over a couple of weeks. Write a real description for each listing, keep your name and logo consistent, and skip categories that have nothing to do with what you sell.
Where does the Domain Rating come from?
Domain Rating (DR) comes from Ahrefs and was refreshed on October 13, 2026. It scores the strength of a website's backlink profile from 0 to 100. Check your own site with our free Domain Rating checker.
How does the DR 30+ guarantee work?
Subscribe to the Premium package: the Ambition plan ($97/month) plus the Premium Backlinks add-on ($149/month). If your website's Ahrefs Domain Rating is not 30 or more 3 months after you start, you get a full refund, or we keep working for free and building you backlinks until you reach DR 30.
