## Discogs Discogs is a community-built music database and marketplace for physical releases, used by collectors, sellers, DJs, labels, and artists. A public user profile can display an external website link, which makes it a simple profile-citation opportunity for music-related brands. - URL: https://www.discogs.com/ - Guide: https://backlinkbadger.com/provider/discogs/ - Link type: nofollow - Free option: yes - Backlink value: 4/100 - Spam score: 1/100 - Difficulty: 15/100 - Estimated time: 10 minutes - Requirements: Email, Discogs account, Public profile, Website URL Discogs is worth a profile link when your brand genuinely touches music: record stores, labels, artists, DJs, audio gear, music blogs, or collector tools. The backlink lives on your public user profile, next to your location and join date, so its value depends on the profile looking like a real community member rather than a link drop. ### Add your website to your Discogs profile 1. Create a free account at [discogs.com](https://www.discogs.com/) using the **Sign Up / Log In** button, and activate it via the confirmation email. 2. Open your account settings and edit your profile (**Settings → Profile**, or via **My Discogs → Preferences** in the older layout; see [How Do I Change My Account Settings?](https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007423833-How-Do-I-Change-My-Account-Settings)). 3. Fill in the **Website** field with your full URL, including `https://`, and add a real name, location, and short profile text so the page does not look empty. 4. Save, then open your public profile at `discogs.com/user/` in a logged-out or private browser window. 5. Confirm the website link appears in the left-hand profile sidebar under your location and join date. The example below is the public profile of record dealer Recordmecca: the website link is visible in the sidebar, directly under the location and join date.

The inspected anchor on the example profile was ``, so do not count on it passing direct SEO authority. Its real value is referral traffic and credibility with a music audience that actively researches sellers, labels, and artists. To make the profile worth visiting, add some genuine activity: list part of your collection, rate releases, or sell inventory through the marketplace. Seller profiles with feedback scores get far more profile views than empty accounts. ### Alternative for artists and labels If you are an artist or label that physically released music, your artist or label database page can list your official site in its **Sites** section. Those pages are edited through community database submissions and reviewed by Discogs contributors, so this route is slower and only appropriate when the site you add is genuinely the official one. Link attributes on database pages were not verified for this guide, so treat that surface as a discovery citation rather than a measured SEO link.
