Can you promote in r/backlinkxchange?
A community where we exchange backlinks. Networked, natural, and merited. The way Larry Page intended.
The short answer
Do not publicly promote your product or company; participate only as a normal user exchanging backlinks per the posting rules and avoid any commercial solicitations.
What works here
- Offering backlinks from your website (must be able to link out and specify backlink types)
- Exchanging backlink details like niche, country, and link types
What gets posts removed
- Advertising services, tools, or products
- Recruiting customers, posting demos, or soliciting leads
- Self-promotional posts or commercial pitches
