How to get a backlink from PBase?

pbase.comThe provider's own site - your backlink will live on this domainLast reviewed by Flo on2026-10-23

PBase’s straightforward backlink route is the Personal URL on your public photographer profile. Use it to connect your galleries with your own photography website or portfolio. It is not a reason to post promotional links in other photographers’ guestbooks.

Add your website to your profile

  1. Register for a PBase trial account with your email address, username, and password. Choose a username you are comfortable using in your public gallery address.
  2. Open your own profile and select edit your account settings. PBase’s account-settings documentation explains this route.
  3. Under Public Information, enter your website in URL. This is the personal website field, not the optional Public Email field. Leave Public Email empty if you do not want an address displayed.

PBase account-settings help explaining that the personal URL is visible to anyone viewing your profile

The screenshot shows PBase’s public help page, not a logged-in account form. It documents the URL field and its public visibility without exposing anyone’s account information.

  1. Click Update to save your changes. Add a short photographer introduction and a genuine gallery of images you own so the profile represents your work rather than an empty link drop.
  2. Open your public profile while signed out. Confirm that Personal URL contains a clickable link to the right destination. Check the link’s actual HTML on your own page before relying on its attributes.

The Goodhill Photography profile provides an inspectable example. Its Personal URL links directly to the photographer’s Blogspot site. In the public HTML checked for this guide, that anchor had no rel attribute: no nofollow, ugc, or sponsored, and no PBase outbound redirect. That supports the dofollow label for this specific profile-field method, not for guestbook comments or every link on the platform.

The example is an existing subscriber’s profile. A new trial account was not created during verification, so check your own signed-out result rather than assuming identical treatment or permanent retention. A new profile also does not inherit the strength or audience of a long-established photographer’s page; the backlink-value score is a conservative editorial estimate for the fresh profile you would create.

The free trial is not permanent hosting

PBase’s pricing page offers a free 10 MB trial. After 30 days from your first upload, further uploads stop and your photos may be removed. Trial galleries are also excluded from common discovery areas, including recent galleries, random photos, and popular galleries. Do not assume a trial profile link will remain useful indefinitely.

For continued hosting, the entry subscription is US$23 per year for 3000 MB. The free-option flag here refers to trying the profile workflow, not a permanent free plan. PBase also restricts direct image linking to paid subscribers; that feature concerns embedding hosted photos elsewhere and is separate from the personal website hyperlink.

Follow PBase’s terms: upload only images you control, do not sell advertising space on your account, and do not use members’ public information to send unsolicited messages. The sensible use is a real photography presence with a relevant portfolio link, not a mass backlink campaign.

Backlink valueEditorial estimateBacklink value is our 0-100 editorial estimate of how much authority a page you create here would actually carry. We score the page you would end up with - not the provider homepage - from how strongly the platform links to and indexes that page type, how much editorial review stands behind it, and what comparable pages are worth in practice. Most new pages anywhere are worth little; a few platforms hand a fresh page real strength straight away. It is a comparison estimate, not a measurement, and it will not match any third-party tool.
