Why choose Swappsy?
Quality-focused partners

Filter by minimum Domain Rating and collaboration type, and see Google clicks verified in Search Console, completed deals and turnaround, so you spend time only on good fits.
Cleaner collaboration
Deadlines, reminders, ratings and reports keep conversations focused on real partnerships, not spam.
Reporting and rating
If a partner doesn't deliver, report them. Ratings come only from completed deals, so they guide others to reliable partners.

Frequently asked questions
1What is Swappsy and how does it work?
Swappsy is an SEO collaboration network where site owners, marketers and SaaS teams find backlink exchange partners, content collaborations and tool placements. Create your profile, find partners by DR and collaboration type with their traffic shown, agree terms in the platform, and Swappsy checks every link placed in a deal each day.
2How do you ensure partner quality?
Sites are verified through Search Console or their own domain. Every partner shows how many deals they completed, how often on time and how many of their links are still live, all counted from links our crawler found. Ratings come only from completed deals, and anyone who doesn't follow through can be reported, which affects their standing.
3What makes Swappsy different from cold outreach, Reddit or agencies?
Cold outreach mostly gets ignored. Reddit and Facebook groups are unstructured and full of low-quality requests. Agencies charge $1,000 to $3,000 a month with little transparency. Swappsy gives you structured deals with deadlines, messaging, partner filters, link checks and community accountability, at no cost.
4How much does Swappsy cost?
Swappsy is free to use, with no credit card: finding partners, running deals and link checks cost nothing. Paid plans only raise the limits, for teams that run many sites. Swappsy takes no fee on marketplace placements.
5Can I report a partner if they don't deliver as promised?
Yes. If a partner misses the deadline you can close the deal as not delivered, and you can report them from their profile. Missed deadlines and removed links lower their reputation, which every member can see.
6What types of websites can use Swappsy?
Any legitimate website building SEO through real partnerships: blogs, SaaS products, online stores, agencies and media sites. Swappsy is for editorial relationships, not link schemes or private blog networks.
