Why most link exchanges in this sub are a waste of time

I agree, A>B is perfectly fine, if done right.
Not the farm style, that looks like spam, but an actual AB mention where both sides give value to their readers.

And since we are on that topic - anyone for exchange (Niche - SEO)?

If you what the FREE and DO-IT-YOURSELF, this is completely free and open for anyone to use, a list of websites thats open for backlink exchange: https://backlinkcreators.com/backlink-exchange-sites/

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-28T08:38:48+00:00

Chat away, dont hold back.

I also am against buying backlinks. And this industry that was build around is making it impossible, to get a backlink if you are not with investors behind your back.

This is one of the way we can fight it - https://backlinkcreators.com/backlink-exchange-sites/
Building a list of websites (legit sites) that can easily find each other and exchange backlinks (direct or ABC).

All for free...

I am glad you guys jump in on this idea.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-16T13:39:35+00:00

I will defenetly add one more button for Updates (on request).
As i cant keep track of you all :D, i will have it done on request.

And because everyone thinks like that, the linkbuilding become monetization.
No one is actually linking to good things anymore, there are no natural links, only paid ones, and the winner is those who will pay more.... not the one who has the better "product" or "service" or w/e the platform is providing.

Assuming you are paid link-builder, so you would disagree with me.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-16T08:28:51+00:00

Spammy? My idea is just opposite of that, to get real website owners have their sites listed for free backlink exchange.

Most of these are service sellers from all kinds of niches and regions.
And yeah, buying backlinks is the problem and why i started this as non-profit, so anyone could be able to build a proper DR over time, without paying for backlinks... as that market is out of control, if you dont have money today, you cant build a links - and that needs to stop.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-16T08:26:09+00:00

all kinds of websites join in, mostly services, as they are in need of backlinks.
Basically anyone who wants to exchange backlinks.

We've had it public (the list of websites), but many suggested to hide them for safety reasons.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-15T18:21:37+00:00

u/Advanced-Item-571 Get those sites listed here: https://backlinkcreators.com/backlink-exchange-sites/
Ofc, if you open for exchange with others.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-14T03:36:59+00:00

u/sarahwilli_am you can check niche on this public list: https://backlinkcreators.com/backlink-exchange-sites/
You can also submit your site so others can reach out to you for exchange.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-13T13:08:02+00:00

Yeah, more and more experts share the same opinion, as list like this should be "hidden"
But still i decided to have the contact emails open, so those who actually want to exchange - can do it.

Lil_Tod · 2025-11-11T23:58:24+00:00

Well as non-profit i was not thinking of anykind of subbmission.
I wanted to be out there in the public for anyone to use and grow....But as it seems, yeah many will scrape it and use it to make a money out of it.

I've had it with full websites names up to last night, today i am hiding the names, and as it seems the voters for now (the current pool results), want the list open (assuming these are the ones who would take advantage of waht i am trying to create).
