- How does verification work?
- You submit your site, your niches and your own metrics during onboarding, then prove the site is yours by publishing a page at a specific URL on your domain. I review everything by hand, spot-checking your numbers against my own Ahrefs and Moz access, before approving or rejecting the application.
- What is an A/B/C chain?
- A three-way exchange. Site A links to Site B, Site B links to Site C, and Site C links back to Site A. No site links directly to whoever linked to it, which avoids the obvious reciprocal pattern that a straight two-way swap creates.
- How does link monitoring work?
- Once an agreement is active, placed links are re-checked on a schedule, and on demand whenever you press check now. Each check confirms the link is still live, still dofollow, and still matches the agreed anchor text. If any of that changes, both parties are notified.
- What happens if my reciprocal link goes down?
- You get a notification as soon as a check comes back missing, nofollow or mismatched. You can message the other member directly from the agreement to sort it out, or report the listing if it isn't resolved. It also affects their visible completion rate.
- How much does it cost?
- Free until 1 January 2026. After that it is $15 a month for full access to the directory, the marketplace and monitoring.
- Can I report a listing?
- Yes. Every listing and profile has a report action. Reports come to me rather than an algorithm, and can result in a warning, suspension or ban depending on what I find.
- Is the directory public?
- No. It is visible only to approved members. That keeps the community from being scraped or picked over by outside link buyers, which is a trade-off: it costs us some organic signups, but it protects the people already in it.
- Will this get my site penalised?
- Nobody can guarantee how a search engine treats a given link. What I can tell you is that every member is checked by hand, exchanges can be structured as three-way chains so they don't leave a reciprocal footprint, placements are paced rather than posted all at once, and everything is monitored afterwards. If you want a firmer guarantee than that, no honest exchange can give you one.
