about.me
about.me lets people publish a simple public profile page at an about.me username URL. The backlink opportunity is a profile button or social/website link, not an editorial citation, and inspected public examples mark those outbound links as nofollow.
Airtable Marketplace
Airtable Marketplace is the public directory for Airtable extensions, scripts, templates, and interfaces. Developers who build a useful Airtable extension or script can submit it for review, and approved listings can include publisher details, contact information, and a support website link that points back to the developer's own documentation or product site.
AllMyFaves
AllMyFaves is a visual bookmarking and homepage service where users organize favorite sites as logo-based tiles. A free account can create a public My Faves page with external favorite links, but the self-service links should be treated as nofollow citation and referral links rather than authority-passing backlinks.
AlternativeTo
AlternativeTo is a software discovery directory where community members suggest apps, compare alternatives, and maintain public software pages. A verified app listing can include an official website link, app-store links, social profiles, screenshots, descriptions, and category tags, making it useful for legitimate software products that want a public directory citation.
Internet Archive
Internet Archive hosts public uploads for books, audio, video, software, images, and other digital material. A legitimate uploader can include a relevant external URL in an item description, but inspected description links are marked nofollow/UGC.
Backlink Badger

Blogarama
Blogarama is a long-running blog directory that indexes submitted blogs and republishes recent posts as directory listing cards. A real blog can earn public Blogarama pages with links back to the original posts, making it useful for bloggers and publishers rather than generic landing pages.
Buy Me a Coffee
Buy Me a Coffee lets creators publish a public support page for one-time donations, memberships, shop items, and profile links. The backlink path is the website or social link on a creator page, but verified examples are nofollow and may be noindex, so treat it as a referral and brand-citation link rather than an authority play.
Carrd
Carrd is a platform that enables users to create simple, responsive one-page websites for various purposes, including personal profiles, portfolios, landing pages, and project showcases. It's user-friendly, offering customizable templates and a streamlined interface, making it easy for anyone to set up a professional-looking site quickly.
ClassifiedsFactor Articles
ClassifiedsFactor Articles is an article-publishing subdomain connected to ClassifiedsFactor. It offers a public article-submission workflow, and published article pages can include external links. The current site is behind a Cloudflare challenge, so treat the link opportunity as useful but higher-friction than a normal open directory.
Dailymotion
Dailymotion is a video hosting and social video platform with public creator profiles and public video pages. A backlink can be added through a profile website field or as a contextual URL in a legitimate video description, but the inspected public links were nofollow.
Dev Resources
Dev Resources is a curated, community-maintained directory of programming, design, API, hosting, productivity, and developer-tool resources. Accepted submissions get a public resource detail page that can point to the submitted project's canonical URL, making it useful for legitimate developer products and educational resources that fit the directory.
Disqus
Disqus is a hosted commenting and community platform used by publishers to add discussion threads to their sites. A free Disqus account also creates a public profile, and the profile About tab can display a website URL as an external link.
Gravatar
Gravatar is Automattic's public avatar and profile service for people who want one identity across WordPress and other sites. A Gravatar profile can include a visible Links section, so it works as a simple nofollow profile citation or link-in-bio page rather than a high-equity SEO backlink.
EZ Web Directory
EZ Web Directory is a free Osclass-powered business directory where public listings can include linked URLs in the description. It can provide a simple directory citation for real businesses and services, but the site is broad and should be treated as a low-friction, higher-spam-risk opportunity.
Find-Us-Here.com
Find-Us-Here.com is a business and community directory for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A free listing can include a public website URL on a dedicated business page, with paid upgrades mainly affecting placement and extra listing features.

H1Ad Articles
H1Ad Articles is a small article-directory site tied to the H1Ad network. It accepts free article submissions through a category-based workflow and can host links inside published articles, but sampled article links were nofollow and the live site showed Cloudflare verification to automated checks.
IMDb
IMDb is an entertainment database with public External Sites sections on eligible title and name pages. The backlink path is a reviewed citation submission for an official or clearly relevant page, not a place to drop generic SEO links.
Instructables
Instructables is a public tutorial and maker-project community where members publish profiles, how-to projects, and collections. It can host a backlink in a member profile website field or inside a genuinely useful tutorial when the link helps the reader.

LiveJournal

Medium
Medium is a publishing platform where writers can create public profile pages and publish stories under a Medium URL or Medium subdomain. A legitimate story or profile bio can include an external link, but inspected story links are user-generated nofollow links rather than dofollow authority links.
mssg.me

Neocities
Neocities is a free static-site host in the spirit of GeoCities, serving over a million hand-built personal sites at username.neocities.org subdomains. You upload or edit raw HTML directly, so any outbound link on your site is ordinary crawlable markup that you control completely.
npm

Portfolium
Portfolium is Instructure's ePortfolio network for students, alumni, and educators to publish portfolio projects. A public project entry can include an external source URL, giving legitimate portfolio work a visible backlink from a Portfolium project page.
Hatena Profile
Hatena Profile is the public profile service for Hatena IDs. A profile can show an owned website link and identity links on a `profile.hatena.ne.jp` page, but the inspected owned-site link was nofollow.
ProvenExpert
ProvenExpert is a customer-review platform for businesses and service providers. A public ProvenExpert profile can include website links alongside contact details, reviews, and rating information, so it can work as a backlink source for real companies that are willing to maintain a credible review profile.
Scoop.it
Scoop.it is a content curation platform where users create topic pages and publish links with short commentary. A public curation profile can contain direct links to the original external resources, but web-indexed visibility is tied to paid plans.

Telegraph
Telegraph is a minimalist anonymous publishing tool built by the Telegram team. Anyone can write a richly formatted article and publish it instantly to a public, server-rendered page at telegra.ph, with no account or signup required. Outbound links in articles are direct but carry rel="nofollow".
ThemeForest
ThemeForest is Envato Market's marketplace for website templates, WordPress themes, UI kits, and related web assets. The backlink opportunity is not a quick directory listing: it comes from a public author profile or item page after you become an approved seller.
Vimeo
Vimeo is a video hosting and publishing platform for creators, companies, educators, and production teams. A legitimate public video page can include a contextual hyperlink in the video description, while paid profile pages can show profile links; both should be treated as conservative nofollow or referral-oriented links rather than guaranteed SEO equity.
WallClassifieds Articles
WallClassifieds Articles is a small article-directory site connected to the Wallclassifieds network. It accepts category-based article submissions and can host contextual links inside published articles, but live pages showed Cloudflare verification to automated checks during research.
