Link exchange rules
A simple guide to the basic rules that keep the marketplace fair and safe.
Authoriflow is designed to support real backlink exchanges, not footprint-heavy or artificial ones.
Core rules
- Do not create obvious A-to-B and B-to-A swaps
- Do not use the same footprint to exchange between owned sites in a way that looks unnatural
- Only register websites you control
- Keep your site information accurate
- Follow the request instructions you receive
Why these rules exist
The rules help protect:
- The quality of the marketplace
- The trust of other users
- The long-term value of the backlinks being exchanged
What users should do
- Keep exchanges relevant
- Match the request details carefully
- Avoid changing links without reason
- Communicate clearly if a request cannot be completed
What happens if rules are ignored
If a backlink breaks the rules or looks unsafe, it can affect:
- Trust
- Delivery
- Marketplace visibility
- Future acceptance of requests
The safest approach is simple: keep exchanges natural, relevant, and transparent.
