Backlinks
Where to Submit
Places to submit a new site for backlinks. Several backlink lists merged and de-duplicated into one table, then checked against competitor backlink data: which channels are really in use, and whether the link is actually dofollow or nofollow. The ones I have submitted to are marked. Filter by type, cost, DR, and link attribute.

How to read this table
- On the link-attribute tag, “observed” means the attribute was actually seen in competitor backlink exports; “claimed” means only the lists say so and it has not been checked. When they differ, the observed one is shown.
- On the automation tag, “Submitted by script” means my script submitted and got a success receipt, not that the link is live. “Can be automated” is inferred from an open form with no login. “Blocks bots” and “Submit page gone” are what the script actually ran into.
- 431 channels are claimed to be dofollow and could be checked against competitor backlinks; 36 of them were observed as nofollow. Where nothing was observed, the claim is only a hint.
- The amber line under the automation tag is the step you must do yourself when submitting: logging in, confirming by email, passing a captcha, or writing to the site. No amber line means no manual step has been found so far.
- “Used by N competitor groups” counts unrelated groups of competitor sites that got a link from the channel. Several sites run by one operator count as one group.
- DR and monthly visits are third-party estimates. The overall score combines competitor use, how many lists include the channel, DR, and link attribute, and is only used for sorting.
- “I submitted” and “Link is live” are my own records: the first means a submission was made, the second that the link later showed up in backlink data.

This table merges and de-duplicates the lists below, then adds checks against competitor backlinks and my own submission records. 450 channels were left out: dead sites, ones that require a reciprocal link or badge, and ones judged low quality by hand.
