How to get a backlink from Spreaker?
Spreaker is useful as a backlink source when you already publish a real podcast. The most practical method is to place a relevant URL in an episode description. Spreaker turns each published episode into a public page, and inspected description links point directly to their destinations without nofollow, ugc, or sponsored attributes.
Best method: add a link to an episode description
- Create a free Spreaker account or sign in, then open the content management system.
- Create your podcast and complete its title, artwork, description, category, and contact details.
- Upload a genuine episode. Use the episode description as show notes: summarize the recording and add only URLs that help the listener, such as a cited source, guest website, transcript, product discussed, or your podcast’s canonical site.
- Publish the episode. Spreaker automatically generates a dedicated public episode page containing the description.
- Open that page while logged out and confirm the URL is clickable and points to the intended destination.
The public example below includes several direct links in its episode description, including a scavenger-hunt page, the show’s subscription page, YouTube channel, and Linktree. The inspected anchor for https://www.MorningBuzz.com/hunt uses rel="noreferrer noopener"; it is a direct, dofollow-looking link rather than a Spreaker redirect or a nofollow/ugc link.
Example: Greg & The Morning Buzz: Parenting Insights shows the type of external references that a public episode description can contain.
Alternative: use the show-wide episode footer
Spreaker also lets show owners add a custom footer from Show Edit Info in the CMS. The footer is appended to every episode description and can contain a consistent website, social profile, newsletter, or listener call-to-action link. This is convenient, but keep it short and relevant so it does not turn every episode into a promotional link block.
Link quality notes
The inspected public example used direct destination anchors with rel="noreferrer noopener" and no nofollow, ugc, or sponsored token, so this guide classifies the recommended method as dofollow. That does not make a fresh episode page as strong as Spreaker’s root domain: a new user-generated page starts with little authority and gains value only if the podcast earns listeners, internal discovery, and links of its own.
Use Spreaker for the podcast first. The backlink is a useful by-product of complete show notes, not a reason to upload thin or irrelevant audio.

Key challenges to get a backlink from Spreaker
- Real podcast required: A legitimate backlink needs a real show and published audio episode, not an empty page created only for SEO.
- Modest page authority: The link sits on a new user-generated episode page, so Spreaker's strong root domain does not make the individual page authoritative.
- Relevance matters: Unrelated promotional links weaken the listener experience; use links that support the episode or give listeners a clear next step.
