## ThemeForest

ThemeForest is Envato Market's marketplace for website templates, WordPress themes, UI kits, and related web assets. The backlink opportunity is not a quick directory listing: it comes from a public author profile or item page after you become an approved seller.

ThemeForest can host backlinks for legitimate Envato authors, usually in the public author profile, item descriptions, demo/support references, or profile copy. Use it only if you already have a real theme, template, or web asset to sell; creating a weak marketplace item just for a link is the wrong play.

### Best method: use an author profile and approved item page

1. Start from Envato's author entry point: [https://author.envato.com](https://author.envato.com).
2. Complete the seller onboarding and prepare a real web asset for ThemeForest, such as a WordPress theme, HTML template, or UI kit.
3. Build out your public author profile with concise, buyer-focused copy. Add your external website only where it helps buyers verify your product, documentation, demos, or support.
4. Submit the item for review. Do not rely on the backlink until the item or profile is public.
5. After publication, inspect the public author profile or item page and confirm the link is visible to logged-out visitors.

A public ThemeForest author profile can include external links in the profile body. In the inspected ThemeFusion example, links to Avada resources are visible on the profile, but the raw HTML marks those external links with `rel="nofollow"`.

### Link quality and caveats

The safest classification is **nofollow**. Raw HTML from the example author profile showed external links such as `https://avada.com/buy-avada`, `https://avada.com/help-center/`, and a YouTube tutorial link with `rel="nofollow"`. That means ThemeForest can still be useful for referral traffic, brand trust, and SERP visibility around your marketplace listing, but it should not be sold internally as a clean dofollow backlink.

The real cost is the product work. If you already sell templates or themes, adding a clear website/support link to your author presence is a sensible cleanup task. If you do not have a product that fits the marketplace, choose an easier provider instead.
