This is becoming part of my daily workflow. Keep it going, loving the product. I already have 7 backlinks in the first two weeks from reputable SaaS companies with similar or better DR authority.

We built several B2B SaaS companies in the past few years.
👉
We went through ycombinatorYC with a previous company and are currently building buddieshrBuddiesHR.com.
👉
Backlinks have always been a challenge, and our frustration grew over time.

Existing solutions didn't meet our needs...

  • Expensive agencies charging $500+ per backlink.
  • Time-consuming cold outreach for backlink requests.
  • Abundance of low-quality websites with no real impact.
  • Endless negotiations to secure a backlink from a website.
  • Complexity in arranging ABC triangular exchanges ourselves.

...so we built KarmaLinks, and the hassle of backlinks vanished 🤩

  • No need to pay, negotiate, or verify.
  • We continuously ensure your backlinks remain active.
  • You can focus on creating content or enhancing your website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is backlink exchange safe?

Direct reciprocal backlink exchange (A links to B, B links to A) can look manipulative to Google. KarmaLinks only allows ABC triangular exchanges — site A links to B, B links to C, C links to A — so no two members link directly to each other. Every member is verified, and Karma Points keep the exchange fair.

Is there a free backlink exchange?

Yes. KarmaLinks is free to join — you earn Karma Points by giving backlinks to other verified members, then spend those points to request backlinks for your own site. Pro ($19/mo) adds a monthly Karma Points grant and priority matching, but the core backlink exchange is free.

What makes a good backlink?

A good backlink is targeted, meaning it shares the same subject, and comes from a domain with decent authority, ideally having a Domain Rating similar to yours. It should also have good organic traffic and be "safe," meaning not linked to prohibited categories like casinos, gambling, etc.

Am I guaranteed to receive a backlink from a decent website?

You request backlinks based on domain description, Domain Rating, traffic, and category. We accept only high-quality websites, so there is a good chance that the backlink will meet your needs.

Why are backlinks so important for SEO?

There are three pillars in SEO: Content, Performance, and Backlinks. Content is what you write to demonstrate your expertise. Performance refers to how technically efficient your website is. Backlinks serve as social proof.

What happens if I can't deliver the backlinks?

You can pause your domain at any time, and it automatically pauses if a backlink isn’t delivered on time. We understand it can be challenging to deliver a backlink, but once you commit, you should be able to do it.

Do I get a backlink as soon as I sign up?

Upon signing up, you receive points equivalent to your Domain Rating. Yes, you can immediately browse the list of websites and request a backlink.

Can I add multiple domains to KarmaLinks?

Yes, you can add as many domains as you want. You need to have at least one verified domain to add others.
