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
