Find backlinks from sites in your niche.

A link from a site covering a related subject or serving a similar audience. A cycling gear site earning a link from a bikepacking publication is worth considerably more than the same link from an unrelated business directory, because a reader of one is plausibly a reader of the other.

Tag your site with three topics and you will see every verified site sharing one, ranked by how much you overlap. Search any keyword directly if you want to go wider. Sites that have completed swaps before rank higher, so the people you find first are the ones who follow through.

A few minutes. Sign in with Google, GitHub or a link sent to your email, then add your domain with a short description and three topics. The only part that varies is proving you own the site: uploading the file we name for you to your site root is checked the moment you click, a DNS record can take a little longer to appear, and connecting Search Console is instant if the property is already in your account. Once you are verified, every site sharing your topics is there waiting.

Yes, when the sites are relevant to each other. A backlink from a site covering your topic, placed where a reader would click it, is one of the strongest ranking signals there is. What gets discounted is volume without relevance, which is why AnyBacklink matches on topic first and keeps the number of keywords per site small.

Google treats a backlink as a vote of confidence. When another site links to yours, it tells Google your page is worth reading, and pages with more of those votes from relevant sites tend to rank higher. For a small business or a blog you do not need thousands of them. A handful of links from sites in your subject area is often enough to move you up for local searches and long-tail terms, the exact phrases your customers or readers type in. That is the hard part when you are starting out, because those sites do not know you exist yet. AnyBacklink solves that by finding verified sites in your niche and matching you by topic, so you can agree a relevant link with a real owner instead of buying links or emailing strangers who never reply.

That is what it is for. Google ranks pages partly on the links pointing at them, and relevant backlinks are the kind that count. Domain Authority itself is a score made by Moz rather than something Google uses, but it tries to measure the same signal, so it usually rises as those links build up. Every site here is verified and matched to yours by topic, so the links you agree come from your subject area rather than wherever you could get one.

Either works, and it is worth agreeing up front. Google treats nofollow as a hint rather than an instruction, so those links can still count, and a nofollow link from a relevant site still sends real readers. Every proposal here states what each side gives and expects before anyone publishes, so you are choosing rather than finding out afterwards.

Yes. A request is agreed between two owners and each side records where their link went live, so both are giving as well as getting. If you are looking for links without giving any, this is not the right tool.

No. There is no commission, no brokering and no payment of any kind between members. What you agree with another owner is between the two of you.

Only signed-in members. There is no public directory, the member area is blocked from crawlers, and the database itself refuses to return another member’s listing to anyone who is not signed in.

Yes, before anything is listed. You upload a file we name for you to your site root, add a DNS record, or connect Search Console for that property. All three prove you can actually make decisions about the site.
