Frequently Asked Questions
What is Authority Exchange?
Authority Exchange is a link building marketplace that facilitates fast, simple, free, safe, three-way, ABC link exchanges to grow your backlink profile.
It simplifies the process of finding and securing backlinks by offering a curated selection of linking opportunities, through curated links and guest posts tailored to various industries and niches.
Authority Exchange connects brands, publishers, SEO’s, guest post writers and link builders in a free link exchange marketplace to expedite and simplify link building.
Who is Authority Exchange for?
Whether you’re a brand, publisher, link building agency or freelancer, you can use AuthorityExchange to build authority on search.
Only highly vetted brands, publishers, SEO’s, guest post writers and link builders who are able to prove their ability to give high quality links are allowed to access the platform.
How does the link exchange function?
Authority Exchange is a marketplace for backlink builders to trade links.
Backlink builders buy links with credits by:
- Jumping onto a guest post that someone else is writing
- Requesting a curated link from an existing page
Backlink builders earn points that they can use to buy link by creating links for other sites. These can be offered or requested by:
- Adding curated links on their own sites
- Including links in new guest posts they’re writing
Each link built is assigned a credit value based on the site’s Ahrefs DR, and links are traded using these credits. Link DR points values are as below:
- DR 30 – 39 = 5 credits
- DR 40 – 49 = 10 credits
- DR 50 – 59 = 20 credits
- DR 60 – 69 = 40 credits
- DR 70 – 79 = 60 credits
- DR 80 – 89 = 80 credits
- DR 90+ = 100 credits

How much does it cost?
Other than the monthly subscription fee, there are no incremental costs for building links. The more links you give, the more you can get. We’ve built a platform that allows high quality content creators to support one another, giving and getting contextual links completely for free. No money is paid during the process.
What happens if a link is removed?
Our platform verifies a link once live and then assigns the credits appropriately. We expect users of the platform to ensure that links are kept live for at least 6 months. For anyone we detect that has removed links within a month of them going live, they will be cautioned and could face removal from the platform.
We are working on future product enhancements to enable full monitoring of links so users can see the status of their live links.

Will I be penalized by Google for exchanging links?
No. ABC link exchanges, which you can do through Authority Exchange, are safe as long as the links are useful and relevant.
Some limited, AB-BA, reciprocal link exchanges are also safe. While Google’s Webmaster Guidelines state that excessive link exchanges are against their terms, Google understands that it’s very natural for some websites to link to each other when it’s useful and relevant.
