Backlink Submit Review: 3,840+ Free Backlink Sites

Every new website hits the same wall: you need backlinks to rank, and nobody links to a site nobody has heard of. The traditional answer — manually submitting your site to directories and launchpads — works, but it’s a copy-paste marathon. Backlink Submit turns that marathon into an afternoon. We ran a fresh domain through it; here’s the review.

What is Backlink Submit?

Backlink Submit is a free backlink-submission platform built around a curated, verified database of 3,840+ free backlink sources — directories, startup launchpads, profile sites and bookmarking destinations — plus a browser extension that autofills every submission form in one click. The pitch is step-by-step: find verified opportunities, submit with autofill, track what’s done.

The word that matters is verified. The general-purpose lists floating around forums are full of dead domains, spam farms and link rings. This database is maintained and filtered, which is the difference between building a foundation and digging a hole.

How the workflow feels

In practice, a session looks like this: open the database, filter by category (launchpads for products, directories for services, regional lists for local SEO), open a source, and the extension has already filled in your site name, URL, description and contact details. You review, adjust, submit, tick it off. What used to be five minutes of retyping per site becomes about one.

For a new domain, working through the launchpad section alone typically lands you on Product Hunt-adjacent territory — startup directories that still send real referral traffic, not just link equity.

The extension: where the hours come back

The autofill extension is the product’s real edge. Every directory has its own form fields in its own order, and the extension handles the variance — you keep one profile and review each form instead of retyping it. Across a few hundred submissions, that’s literally days of typing removed, which is precisely why most people abandon manual link building in week one.

What it won’t do for you

Honesty section, because link-building tools attract magical thinking. Directory and launchpad links are foundations, not victories: they get a new site indexed, credible and crawlable, but they won’t outrank established competitors on their own. You still need earned links — content worth citing, tools worth mentioning, pages worth referencing. Keep the velocity human (a batch per week, not a thousand overnight), diversify anchor text, and treat this as the baseline layer of a profile you’ll grow for years.

Verdict

4.5 out of 5. For exactly the job it names — submitting your backlink for free, fast, across a verified database — Backlink Submit is the best tool we’ve used, and the autofill extension alone justifies it. Run your new domain through the launchpads in week one, the directories over the first month, then shift energy to earning editorial links. Pair it with SEONIB for the content those links should point at, and see our full free SEO tools category for the rest of the stack.

Frequently asked questions

Is Backlink Submit really free?

Yes — submitting your backlink through the platform is free, and the database of verified backlink sites and launchpads is free to access. The browser extension that autofills the submission forms comes with it.

Are directory and launchpad backlinks safe for SEO?

As a baseline, yes. Curated directories, launchpads and profile links are standard, low-risk foundations that most new sites build first. What you should avoid is automated mass-blasting of unvetted lists — volume spam is what gets flagged, not directory citations.

What does the form autofill extension actually do?

When you open a submission form from the database, the extension fills in your site name, URL, description and contact details automatically. Instead of retyping the same fields hundreds of times, you review and click submit.

How many backlinks should a new site build?

A natural first goal is your first 30–50 quality citations from directories, launchpads and profiles over a few weeks. Pair that with one or two genuinely earned editorial links and you have a healthy starting profile.
