r/linkbuilding

Curious what people managing link building for multiple clients are actually using these days. There are so many tools that claim to be good, but it’s hard to know which ones are genuinely useful once you’re managing several campaigns.

For anyone working at or running an SEO/marketing agency, what does your link building stack look like right now?

I promised my client 10 backlinks by tomorrow! Heres the details:

- DA 90+ ONLY
- Must be do-follow
- Sites must have 1m+ traffic
- PERMANENT placement
- No sponsored tag
- Budget = $10 PER LINK

LINKS MUST BE LIVE AND INDEXED BEFORE PAYMENT!

Hi folks,

I’m looking to connect with SEO professionals, website owners, and link builders interested in long-term link exchange partnerships.

Ideally, I’m looking for websites with:

• DR 50+
• 1,000+ monthly organic traffic
• Clean, genuine traffic
• Relevant, quality content

In return, I can provide similar-quality websites with comparable metrics and value. I’m mainly interested in building ongoing partnerships rather than doing a one-time exchange.

If you have suitable sites and are open to collaborating, feel free to DM me.

I am putting together a Link Building Scheme (I posted a few days about it looking for feedback but didn't receive any, presumably because it was too long). I've made a shorter pitchdeck and would love to hear your feedback on whether you think it has legs.

The pitchdeck is here. Happy to answer any questions!

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! We are an international translation company receiving significant traffic from the US, UK, Canada, India, the Philippines, and beyond. We are looking to arrange link exchanges with businesses fields mentioned in the title. Given our DR 71 and organic traffic of over 36K, we are seeking partnerships with websites that have comparable statistics. Please leave a comment or send me a DM only if you meet these requirements, so we can respect both of our time. Thank you!

I’m looking to build around 10 high-quality, relevant backlinks every month.

I’m not interested in spammy links, PBNs, or low-quality directories. I’m looking for genuine, relevant websites with decent authority and real traffic.

If you offer this service or have a reliable strategy, DM me and we can discuss the requirements, pricing, and approach.

Thanks!

interested dm if you have any site it is okayy !! but need an decent DA

I've been researching different link-building marketplaces and guest-posting platforms, and there seems to be a huge range in both pricing and site quality.

I'm mainly looking for a marketplace rather than a fully managed agency. Being able to review the actual sites, compare traffic and SEO metrics, and choose individual placements would be important.

I'm also looking for platforms that provide proper business invoices and company details, since this would be for a legitimate business rather than personal use.

One thing I'm particularly interested in is whether people are seeing any value beyond traditional SEO. For example, are certain types of relevant backlinks or brand mentions helping with visibility in AI search tools such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, or Perplexity?

For those working with link building in 2026, which marketplaces or platforms have you found useful? I'm especially interested in ones with transparent pricing, a decent inventory, and enough information to evaluate the sites before purchasing.

Hey folks, we have around 50 clients in the Home niche, and need support from someone who can supply us with enough Home niche domains consistently (in an ongoing basis).

If anyone can provide enough Home niche specific domains, please drop me a DM.

NOTE: general category sites that post about everything - every topic/category are not accepted. Please do not contact me with garbage domains. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!
I'm in need of construction, home, housing, finance, tax, debts, finance sites. Mainly AU but US and UK are welcome too.
If you think we can do good together, let me know!
Just send a straight message over to me and let's chat!

Cheers!

As the title says. Figure I’d ask the community if there were any places they typically look that I can add to my list.

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!

Hey everyone,

I run a bilingual recipe manager and meal planning app (DR 4, small but growing). I am looking to build some genuine links with other B2C sites in the productivity, home organization, food, or family space.

I would rather avoid a straight reciprocal swap (my site linking to yours, yours linking back to mine) since that tends to carry less real SEO value these days. Instead I am open to two better options:

Option 1: Triangular exchange
You link to another site in the group, that site links to a third one, and someone links back to me. Nobody links directly back to whoever linked to them. If you already have one or two other people lined up for this, even better, we can coordinate placements.

Option 2: Mention in content
Instead of a permanent footer swap, a natural mention inside a relevant article works even better, something like a "best tools for meal planning" or "useful apps for home organization" roundup. I am happy to do the same on my end, for example a footer line like "Other useful tools like [YourSite]" alongside a few tools I genuinely use, or a mention inside a relevant blog post if I have one that fits.

What I am looking for:

• A site in a related niche (home, productivity, cooking, family life, organization)
• Real traffic or active content, not a parked domain
• A natural placement, not a sitewide spam link

If you run something in this space and are interested in either option, drop a comment or DM me and we can sort out the best fit.

Thanks!

Curious what everyone has in their current link-building stack.

I’m especially interested in tools for:

• Backlink/competitor research
• Finding relevant link prospects
• Outreach and follow-up
• Guest posts or niche edits
• Digital PR
• Tracking acquired links

I’m not looking for a best SEO tools list. I’d love to hear what you’re actually using in your workflow, what saves you the most time, and what you stopped using because it wasn’t worth it.

Bonus points if you share the tool + what you use it for?

Here are the requirements

DA 35+

SS under 10

Index must be good

Traffic source sem rush

Need 20 each sites every month

Budget is good

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find blogs or websites that allow free guest posts. If you run a site or know someone who accepts guest contributions without a fee, I’d really appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks in advance 🙌

I built a small app to make SEO work easier for beginner bloggers, and I would really like some feedback from SEO people here.

This app takes your article and generates all the SEO details and creates a finalised draft in posts section in wordpress. After that, internal/outbound linking, and adding images are the only steps left before publishing.

I run my own tech website, and I found myself spending a lot of time doing the same SEO work for every article. Things like choosing a focus keyphrase, writing the SEO title, making the meta description, creating the slug, choosing a category, and adding tags.

So I built my own tool called DraftPal. (inspired from the horrible bosses 2)

The idea is simple. I write the article myself in Word, then the app reads the article and analyzes it. It uses a local AI model to suggest the SEO details. It does not write the article for me.

You can approve the analysis and it will automatically create a draft for you in your posts section in wordpress.

Right now it can:

• Read my Word documents
• Detect headings, paragraphs, lists, links and tables
• Detect a focus keyphrase if I provide one
• Suggest a focus keyphrase if I do not provide one
• Create an SEO title
• Create a meta description
• Create a clean slug
• Suggest a category from the ones available in wordpress.
• Suggest relevant tags
• Check the SEO results for basic issues
• Prepare the article for my WordPress site

The biggest benefit for me is time. Instead of manually doing the same SEO work for every article, I can let the app handle the first version and then review it myself.

I am still improving it, so I would really like opinions from people who know SEO, especially people who work with smaller websites or beginner bloggers.

What would you add to this?

Are there any SEO checks that you think a beginner blogger should always do before publishing?

Would you trust an AI tool for SEO suggestions if the writer still reviews and approves everything?

And are there any parts of my current process that you think I should change?

I am mainly looking for honest feedback from SEO people before I take the project further.
