## Backlink Badger

Backlink Badger is a curated directory of backlink providers and services. A legitimate provider can earn a backlink by emailing a complete suggestion that explains the backlink path and passes manual review.

Backlink Badger is useful only if you have a real backlink source to suggest. The backlink is not created by opening an account; it appears only if the directory accepts your provider and publishes a provider page that links to your site.

### Method: Submit a provider suggestion for manual review

1. Open the [Suggest a Backlink Provider page](https://backlinkbadger.com/submit-a-backlink-provider/).
2. Prepare the provider's public name and canonical website URL. Use the page where the backlink can actually be acquired, not a generic homepage if the workflow lives elsewhere.
3. Write a short explanation of how someone gets the backlink: profile field, listing form, marketplace submission, article contribution, project page, or another concrete method.
4. Include a public example URL where an external backlink is already visible if you have one. This is the strongest proof that the method works.
5. Email the suggestion to the address shown on the submission page and include your own contact email for follow-up.
6. Wait for manual review. If the suggestion is low-quality, unverifiable, or looks like pay-for-placement spam, it may not be listed.

The submission page makes the review gate explicit: suggestions are accepted by email only, and Backlink Badger asks for the project URL, backlink method, and an example backlink URL when available.

### Link quality notes

Accepted providers get a public guide page such as the [Disqus provider page](https://backlinkbadger.com/provider/disqus/). In the inspected HTML, the provider-domain link used `rel="noopener noreferrer"` without a `nofollow`, `ugc`, or `sponsored` token, so the recommended path is scored as dofollow-looking.

Do not treat this as a guaranteed placement. Backlink Badger is a moderated niche directory, and the best submissions are providers that help readers understand a real backlink workflow. If the page you want listed cannot show a legitimate way to acquire a backlink, this is the wrong channel.
