First 100 Backlinks for SaaS
The first 100 referring domains are the least glamorous and most formulaic links you'll ever build: directories, launch platforms, and profiles, plus a handful of earned mentions. Here's the realistic breakdown.
What you get
directories covered in a single $99 one-time package
directories in the free database if you'd rather DIY the list
dofollow backlink from our launch leaderboard at /launch
a live link for every submission we complete by hand
How it works
- 1
Directories carry the bulk
Structured, repeatable, and expected for a new product — the majority of your first 100 referring domains come from directory listings, which is why this step is worth front-loading.
- 2
Launch platforms add the next layer
Our leaderboard at /launch is free with a dofollow backlink; platforms like BetaList and Uneed each add another referring domain plus real discovery traffic.
- 3
Profiles fill the gaps
Founder and product profiles on communities you genuinely use each contribute a referring domain — only create ones you'll actually maintain.
- 4
Earn the last few
A handful of mentions from newsletters, roundups, or comparison pages in your niche — slower and less predictable, which is why they come last, not first.
