Hello there! We have decided to provide the service of travel-related backlinks and guest posts to fellow travel and lifestyle bloggers.
The purpose of this service is to improve the rankings of travel-related websites through cooperation.
You can post/place backlinks on the following websites:
https://gotravelyourself.com DA 30, PA 36 and https://travel-gear.shop/blog (PA 17)
https://allaboutvienna.com : DA 26, PA 15
https://allaboutswiss.com (work in progress): DA 1.7, PA 14
There are another 10 websites in preparation (travel and lifestyle related) that will be added to this list. Current DA and PA values will go up as we go.
Backlinks
Backlinks specs
Backlinks should be from pages (and preferably also websites) travel related, travel guides, travel tips, travel gears reviews, travel news, travel diaries, or lifestyle posts (but related to travel).
Backlinks should be within the content and contextual, naked links such as gotravelyourself.com without any content or context are not acceptable.
We prefer non-symmetrical links, i. e. you link to one of our sites from your website A, we link from another website or we link to another website of your preference (e. g. website B). We will at least avoid linking from the same post back to your website. Linking to each other’s domain between two posts doesn’t work well with Google, at least.
The anchor text should be contextual as well.
Good example: Here is some more information about Switzerland travel tips. (anchor text is Switzerland travel tips)
Bad example: Here is some more information about Switzerland travel tips. (anchor text is Here).
Maximum of three backlinks per domain (for now).
Backlinks conditions
Once a backlink to one of our websites is placed, and we confirm it, we will link back to the website/page of your preference.
If we cannot provide desired link context or content, we will inform you within 3 working days to arrange an alternative.
Links placed on our pages are permanent. In case any of our websites will go down or get migrated, we will inform you in advance about such a change.
In case the link to our websites is removed from your end, we will be obliged to remove links to your websites as well. This initiative is based on cooperation and it works both ways.
If the original publisher wishes to remove the backlink at any time, this will be fulfilled within 48 hours upon receipt of the request from the same email that requested the original posting.
