Built for practical outreach

Everything needed to discover, research, and contact website owners

The first release stays focused: quality listings, transparent labels, useful filters, and private communication.

Advanced search and filters

Filter by niche, authority, traffic, country, language, website age, and collaboration preference.

Private messaging

Contact website owners without exposing personal email addresses or relying on public contact forms.

Clear verification labels

Distinguish domain ownership verification from self-reported, screenshot-backed, or admin-reviewed metrics.

Listing analytics

Paid members can see profile views, saves, inbound messages, and which listings attract the most interest.

Saved websites and notes

Organize prospects, add private research notes, and keep a record of which website owners you contacted.

Search and reply alerts

Receive notifications for new messages, replies, listing approvals, and new websites matching saved filters.

Private outreach

Make the first contact through BacklinkListings.com

The website owner’s email stays hidden. Send a focused outreach request tied to your own approved website, and continue the conversation in a private inbox.

  • Sender must choose the website they represent
  • Recipients can reply, decline, archive, block, or report
  • Daily and monthly contact limits discourage mass outreach
  • Replies remain free so conversations are never held hostage

A Founding Publisher is one of the first 100 approved website owners. Founding Publishers receive a website listing, 90 days of Founding Pro free, a founding badge, and the option to continue at $9 per month beginning on day 91.

No. The application is free and does not require a credit card. Approved publishers who choose to activate the Founding Pro trial will add a payment method before their 90-day trial starts.

We are looking for active websites with original content, a clear niche, an authorized representative, honest metrics, and genuine interest in relevant editorial partnerships. Thin, inactive, misleading, unsafe, or spam-heavy sites may be declined.

It lets website owners publish a directory profile, share collaboration preferences and self-reported metrics, browse other listings, and contact owners privately through the platform.

No. Metrics are clearly labeled as self-reported, screenshot provided, or admin reviewed. Users should independently verify a domain using the research tools they trust.

No. Initial outreach and replies take place through the private BacklinkListings.com inbox. Users may choose to share contact details later, but the platform does not display them by default.

The first 100 approved members receive 90 days free. The first $9 charge occurs on day 91, followed by $9 monthly recurring charges until canceled. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. Canceling also ends the protected founding rate.

No. The platform helps website owners discover and contact one another. It does not guarantee rankings, traffic, metric improvements, indexing, or the outcome of a private collaboration.

No. Plans include reasonable monthly and daily limits to discourage mass outreach. Replies to existing conversations do not count against new-contact allowances.
