Our blacklist is a database of sites we will never place links on. Sites are added when they are:
Found in known guest blog or private blog networks
Sold on forums, marketplaces like Fiverr, or via cold email outreach
Operating a 'write for us' page
Discovered through searches for publicly shared guest post site lists
Reported to us by clients with evidence of public link selling
Most link building services scrape sites with 'write for us' pages or resell from private blog networks. Google can detect and devalue these links quickly. Our blacklist — alongside our quality control process — is what ensures the links we build actually move the needle.
