Before you submit

Four things most backlink lists leave out.

A long list of high-DR sites looks like a shortcut. Here's what it can and can't do for you.

  1. Most of these links are nofollow.

    Reddit, Quora, Medium, Wikipedia and most profile pages mark outbound links nofollow or UGC. Google treats that as a hint, so a link can still help discovery and brand searches, but don't expect each one to lift rankings on its own. We don't label sites dofollow because they change it without notice.

  2. DR describes the domain, not your page.

    Domain Rating is an Ahrefs estimate for a whole site. A new profile on a DR 95 domain sits on a page nothing links to. Treat the number as a rough tier, not a score.

  3. Press sites have no submit button.

    Forbes, TechCrunch and VentureBeat are listed because coverage there is worth having, but it's earned with news, data or expert comment. Anyone selling guaranteed placements on them is selling something Google's spam policies prohibit.

  4. Relevance beats volume.

    Fifty listings on sites your customers never visit is a footprint, not a signal. Pick the handful that fit what you sell and do those properly.

Local businesses

Running a trade or a practice? Start somewhere else.

Most of this list is built for software and startups. If your customers find you on Google Maps, the links that move rankings are local and industry ones.

Get a free link auditHow we build local links
Use these first
  • Citations on the directories your customers search: Google, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yell and your trade's own directory
  • Trade bodies, accreditation schemes and manufacturer installer lists you already qualify for
  • Local news sites, community groups and the clubs or events you sponsor
  • Suppliers and partners who list the businesses they work with

Citations are their own job: see our citation and NAP clean-up service.

Questions

About this list.

Are these backlinks free?
Each source carries a price tag: Free, Free + paid (a free option with paid upgrades), Paid, Earned (press and interviews), or Rev share (deal marketplaces that take a cut of each sale). Where we couldn't confirm a site's pricing it says Check site. Use the Price filter to show only free options.
Which of these are dofollow?
We deliberately don't say. Sites switch link attributes often, and many nofollow new or unverified accounts. Once your link is live, right-click it, choose Inspect, and look for rel="nofollow", "ugc" or "sponsored" on the tag.
Will these help my local business rank in Google Maps?
Very few of them. This list leans towards software, AI tools and startups. Map-pack rankings respond to your Google Business Profile, consistent citations, reviews and links from local and industry sites. A publishing profile or a Pinterest board is fine for brand searches but won't move a plumber up the map pack.
How often is the list checked?
Every domain on this page was checked and resolving on 4 November 2026. DR figures were recorded when the list was compiled and drift month to month, so check a site's current figure before you invest time in it.
Can you build these links for us?
For a local business we usually recommend against most of this list and focus on citations and local links instead. If you're unsure which applies to you, the free audit looks at your current link profile and tells you where the gaps are.
See exactly where you rank — free, within 24 hours.
