Overview
The Free links directory is a hand-curated catalog of reputable, high-authority websites — directories, communities, and listing sites — where you can submit your site for free to earn backlinks. It’s the simplest, lowest-cost way to start building domain authority. Find it under Collaboration → Free links (app.trysight.ai/collaboration?tab=free-links).
Free links is the successor to the old Backlinks page. The old
/backlinks URL now redirects here.Browsing the directory
Each entry shows:- Site name and URL
- Domain Rating (DR) — the site’s authority, powered by Ahrefs (higher is stronger)
- Link type — DOFOLLOW (passes authority) or NOFOLLOW (still valuable for referral traffic and discovery)
- Category/type — directory, community, profile, etc.
- Search by name
- Filter by type, and toggle Dofollow only
- Sort by DR, name, or type
- Export CSV to work through the list in a spreadsheet
How to use it
1
Pick a site
Start with the highest-DR dofollow sites that fit your niche. A handful of strong, relevant links beats dozens of low-quality ones.
2
Sign up & submit
Open the site, create an account if needed, and submit your site following the details in the View details panel.
3
Earn authority
As your submissions go live, you accumulate backlinks that help build your domain authority over time.
Dofollow vs. nofollow
- Dofollow links pass “link equity” (authority) from the host site to yours — these have the most direct SEO value.
- Nofollow links don’t pass authority directly, but they still drive referral traffic, aid discovery, and make for a natural-looking, diverse backlink profile.
