Your website listing is the first impression you make on potential partners. A well-crafted listing shows off your site’s value, builds trust, and increases your chances of backlink exchanges or offers.
This chapter walks you through the entire listing submission process—step by step—with tips to get approved faster and noticed more often.
Where to Start
To add a new website:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Click “Add Website” or navigate to the listing form via the main menu
- Fill in each section carefully—accuracy and honesty are key!
Step-by-Step: The Listing Form
1. Basic Website Information
Website Title – Your site’s name or brand (e.g., “Daily Health Tips”)
Website URL – The full link, including https://
Operating Country – Where your website or business is based
Website Language – Primary language your site is written in
📌 If your country or language isn’t listed, you can create a new one.
2. Listing Details
Short Description – 2–3 lines about your site’s purpose, audience, and topic
Categories/Niches – Select one or more relevant topics (e.g., Tech, Real Estate, Education)
Backlink Types – What kind of links you offer:
- Editorial Backlink
- Guest Post
- Sponsored Post
- Blogroll, etc.
Link Availability:
- Free – If you’re open to swaps
- Paid – Mention the price in USD (e.g., “$50 per backlink”)
💡 The more specific and honest you are, the more likely you’ll attract relevant offers.
3. Performance Metrics
These help others assess the SEO value of your website:
Domain Authority (DA) – Enter a number (e.g., 35)
Page Authority (PA) – Enter a number (e.g., 28)
Monthly Visitors – Estimate your average unique traffic
🛡️ Only enter accurate numbers. Swap Backlink may verify these and inaccurate listings can be removed.
4. Other Important Details
Backlink Placement – Where will the link appear? (Article body, Footer, Sidebar, etc.)
Live Sample Link (Optional but highly recommended) – Show an example of a past backlink you’ve placed
5. Contact Preferences
Email Address (optional) – Add it if you’re open to being contacted directly
