Getting Started¶
Your site needs backlinks to be more visible on the web.
Your time is limited.
Trade Backlinks finds backlink opportunities for you, and automates the process of contacting them.
1. Sign up¶
- Sign up for a tradebacklinks.com account and get a free 7 day trial.
- Enter your name and domain to get started.

2. Seed keywords and competitors¶
- Enter the keywords you want to rank for (e.g.,
no code developers). - Add 2–3 similar but not closely competing domains. TradeBacklinks uses this to source matching opportunities.
- Wait a few minutes while opportunities are fetched in the background.

3. Choose a plan¶
| Feature | Indie | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Autopilot outreach ( domain/day) | 1 | 5 |
| Domain health monitor (frequency) | Monthly | Weekly |

If no plan is chosen, you can skip to the dashboard for a 7 day free trial.

4. Configure compensation settings¶

5. Connect your sending domain¶
