Directory backlink gate policy
Skip backlink-required directory listings instead of turning the site into a badge farm.
TrafficWins blocks backlink, badge, footer-link, partner-link, and screenshot-proof directory requirements so launch submissions never add low-value outbound links to the site.
What this replaces
- Classify each directory as no-backlink free, paid-only, login-gated, CAPTCHA-gated, or backlink-blocked
- Skip forms that ask for a badge, footer link, partner-page link, acknowledgement link, or screenshot proof
- Keep TrafficWins pages focused on product, partner, and support surfaces instead of directory reciprocity links
- Track submitted, pending, rejected, published, and blocked states without adding directory links to the website
