How to get a backlink from LiveInternet?
LiveInternet is useful only if you are comfortable treating the backlink as a stats/ranking-directory listing. The practical route is to register your own website for LiveInternet statistics, install the counter, and opt into the most relevant public rating category.
Best method: register your site for the LiveInternet rating
- Open the site registration form.
- Enter the website URL in Адрес and add aliases if your site uses multiple hostnames.
- Fill in the site name, email, password, and keywords.
- In Статистика, decide whether the statistics page should be public or password-protected. A fully private setup is less useful for discovery.
- In Участие в рейтингах, choose the closest category instead of leaving the site out of ratings.
- Add the generated LiveInternet counter code to the registered site or directory. LiveInternet’s address help page says the counter should be placed on the pages covered by the registered URL.
- After the counter records visits, check the relevant rating page for your category.
The public rating page renders rows with site titles, visitor counts, links to LiveInternet stats pages, and direct outbound links to listed websites.
Link quality and caveats
The inspected rendered rating rows used direct external anchors such as http://ovgorskiy.ru/ and did not include a rel="nofollow", ugc, or sponsored attribute. However, those anchors were not present in the first fetched HTML; the page loads a TSV file and JavaScript builds the ranking rows in the browser.
Because of that JavaScript dependency, treat this as a visibility/referral opportunity rather than a clean dofollow SEO backlink. It is more defensible for sites that actually want LiveInternet analytics or Russian web-directory visibility than for sites looking for a quick authority link.
What can waste your time
Do not register a fake site or install the counter only to chase a link. The ranking surface is based on traffic, so a new site with few visitors may be technically listed but practically invisible. Also avoid unrelated categories: the listing title and category context are public, and mismatches make the placement look spammy.
