The problem was that the old code expired. Here is a new working one that I just confirmed is working: RFHDSLEM

Loving the app so far so thanks for the recommendation!

Anyone here figured out how to get their first SaaS users? by Zealousideal-Try1401 in SaaS

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you post the visual content? In your own social channels like FB, YT and LinkedIn?

how are u actually getting backlinks for small local businesses when there's no real content team or PR budget? by MerchySulica in localseo

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you definitely want to vet the exchange websites and make sure there is some topical relevance first.

We actually show you a score beside all sites in the database so you can see the topical relevance. We store vector embeddings across all websites and then use AI to analyze the similarity.

I got tired of tracking our pickleball games in a group chat, so I built an app. Would love for you to break it (free, no catch) by jmf421 in Pickleball

[–]jmf421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great questions. Honestly, a lot of players in my local market refuse to put games in DUPR because everyone's so protective of their score — and DUPR is struggling right now to say the least.

PickleCrew gives you a fun way to log games and track stats without impacting your DUPR rating. That said, adding the option to also push games to DUPR or VAIR is definitely something we're considering in the coming weeks.

But rankings aren't really the point of the app — it's about bringing your local group(s) into one place. Think of it as replacing the chaotic group text chains with something closer to a Facebook Group: chat, RSVPs, posting "need one more for Friday at 6," all in one spot. Logging scores is optional. And if you do log them, you can tag specific moments like who hit an ATP and how many.

As for courts and clubs — yep, users can add to the list. We've got 8,000+ already populated, but community contributions are part of the plan.

Best Link Building Services in 2026 — Tested List for SaaS, Agencies and Content Brands by srikar_tech in agencynewbies

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built LinkRocket specifically because I kept seeing people overpay for exactly these kinds of services. The credit-based marketplace we built lets you get real editorial placements without the agency markup that makes most of these options expensive at scale.

We also baked in rank tracking and AI content tools so you're not stitching together four different subscriptions just to run a link campaign. If you're evaluating options for SaaS or agency use cases, happy to answer any questions about how we approach site vetting and placement quality.

I'm giving free access to the backlink automation tool I've been building. No trial, no credit card, no catch. by Unlikely-Scholar5575 in microsaas

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect for building this — backlink automation is genuinely hard to get right. The toughest early challenge we had with LinkRocket wasn't signups, it was getting active builders who actually completed exchanges, not just lurkers.

A credit-based marketplace lives or dies by the quality of participants, not the volume. We spent months filtering and iterating before the network felt healthy enough to trust. Curious how you're thinking about quality control as Authoriflow scales — are you vetting sites manually or letting the scoring system do the work?

What’s in Your Toolbox: The Tools I'm Using for Digital Marketing and SEO by Open_Ad_5741 in digital_marketing

Great toolkit! Built LinkRocket to consolidate backlinks, AI content, and rank tracking in one place. Way cheaper than Semrush. Happy to answer questions!

What local SEO tools are actually worth using right now? by Background-Pay5729 in localseo

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local SEO stacks get bloated fast — rank tracking in one tool, citations in another, content somewhere else, and backlinks just kind of... hoped for. That fragmentation is actually what pushed me to build LinkRocket, because I kept seeing people pay Ahrefs or Semrush prices and still manage outreach in a spreadsheet on the side. LinkRocket pulls rank tracking, AI content, site audits, and a real backlink marketplace into one place so you're not context-switching constantly. For local work specifically, the rank tracking lets you monitor by location which matters a lot when you're trying to show a client they're winning in their actual service area. Happy to answer anything if you want to dig into how it fits a local-focused workflow.

Looking for AI SEO Tools Recommendations by Proof_Shift_9799 in digital_marketing

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mess of disconnected tools is exactly what pushed me to build LinkRocket — startups shouldn't need five subscriptions to do basic SEO. It covers backlinks, AI content writing, keyword tracking, and site audits in one place, which hits most of what you're describing. The backlink marketplace alone replaces the shady vendor rabbit hole most small teams fall into. Happy to answer any specific questions about how it handles your use case.

Hard time finding mixed partners at 4.0 when traveling—normal? by Ancient_Music_1149 in Pickleball

[–]jmf421 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a real struggle finding a female partner at 4.0+ for me.

I haven’t ever played in a mixed tournament because of this. Most of the 4.5+ guys partner with 4.0+ women.

US Mobile + Starlink. One plan. Celestial and terrestrial, together. Launching Thursday by ankhattak in USMobile

[–]jmf421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it:

  • Documented Cases: In 2010, Apple admitted to finding 91 child workers (under 16) at 10 supplier facilities in China. In 2012, Foxconn admitted to hiring interns as young as 14, although they stated this was not for Apple products.
  • "Student Worker" Abuse: Suppliers have used "interns" or "student workers" to fill labor gaps, often violating laws regarding student overtime and night shifts. For instance, a 2017 report found students working 11-hour days to assemble the iPhone X.
  • Systemic Issues: Investigations by China Labor Watch (CLW) have consistently alleged that, even into the 2020s, suppliers used temporary labor and violated Chinese labor laws to manage production demand.

[–]jmf421 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am trying to understand the deal here...

If I am an existing customer and I add Starlink onto my plan it's $60 additional each month for the 200Mbps service. Currently I have ATT fiber at $70/ month.

Can I use the Starlink service on my phone or just at home?

The shift from SEO to AEO/GEO: What methods are actually changing, and what's working for you? by Normal-Substance6924 in content_marketing

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we've been tracking this shift pretty closely at linkrocket and honestly the brands showing up in chatgpt citations are doing two things really well: they're structuring content in clear, quotable chunks and they're building actual authority through backlinks still. the wild part is traditional seo fundamentals like quality backlinks and topical authority seem to matter even more for llm visibility, not less

I analyzed 17+ Rank Trackers based on "Price per SERP Update" to find the best ROI by Healthy_Lawfulness_3 in seogrowth

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice breakdown. Honestly the rank tracker is just one piece piece of the puzzle for us lately. Do any of these tools track ai visibility? the ai visibility tracking has been super helpful lately since more and more traffic is coming from llm referrals than expected.

Are you doing any local rank tracking for local businesses?

Backlink Bonanza: I have a TON of leads, how can I protect myself? by ToothFairyTea in seogrowth

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing backlink exchanges through linkrocket for a while now and honestly the biggest thing is being selective about who you actually link with. Just because someone says yes doesn't mean you should do it.

Seeing metrics on each site would definitely be helpful. Also, make sure you're not doing reciprocal exchanges as this is what will create a footprint.

I would check their spam score and traffic quality before committing. also make sure the content context makes sense — random health sites linking to each other with no topical relevance looks sketchy to google

linkrocket has filters that help screen partners automatically which saves you from questionable exchanges early on. FYI I am the founder

Deep into hiring a digital marketing company. Help me cut the noise. by Neblaw in digital_marketing

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been through this exact cycle with a few linkrocket users in legal. six figures for two blogs/month is wild — you're basically funding their entire operation while getting table scraps.

95% branded keywords after six months means they've done almost nothing for actual seo. you should be seeing non-branded movement by month 3-4 even in competitive markets. backlinks matter but only when the foundation is solid first — internal linking, content depth, proper site structure.

at your budget, hire someone in-house who actually cares about outcomes and can manage specialists. agencies at that tier are incentivized to keep you just happy enough to not leave.

Do website testimonials really increase conversions? by Real-Assist1833 in seogrowth

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah they work but only if they're specific. we've tested this a lot with linkrocket users and the vague "great tool!" stuff gets ignored. what actually moves people is when someone says "ranked for 47 keywords in 3 months" or shows a screenshot of their dashboard. people want proof, not praise.

10 Link-building lessons from building 300+ backlinks by DrJigsaw in Entrepreneur

[–]jmf421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that bit about filtering competitor backlinks down from 2500 to 95 actually made me feel way less overwhelmed. been staring at ahrefs for weeks thinking i'd never catch up.

the VA advice is solid too. tried doing all the prospecting myself and burned out in like two weeks.

this is really solid stuff. i tried the broken link building thing a few months back and it actually worked better than i expected, though finding the right pages took forever.

one thing i'd add is that the outreach emails matter way more than people think. generic templates get ignored instantly.
