Most "free backlink" lists are full of low-quality directories. App marketplaces run by large SaaS companies are different: they have very high domain authority, they are topically relevant to software, and every approved app gets its own page that links back to the developer's site. This guide covers one of them, the Atlassian Marketplace, which a recent post on X describes as a free source of a dofollow link from a DR 92 domain.

Most "free backlink" lists are full of low-quality directories. App marketplaces run by large SaaS companies are different: they have very high domain authority, they are topically relevant to software, and every approved app gets its own page that links back to the developer's site. This guide covers one of them, the monday.com Marketplace, which a recent post on X describes as a free source of a dofollow link from a DR 91 domain.
What is the monday.com Marketplace?
monday.com is a work management platform, and its marketplace lists apps that extend monday boards and workflows. Approved apps get a public listing page that links to the developer's site.
DR and link attributes
- Domain Rating: DR 91, as stated in the source post.
- Link type: the source post says the listing page gives you a dofollow link to your site.
- Cost: listed in the source post as free. The real cost is the time it takes to build an app that passes review.
Step-by-step: how to get listed
Step 1: Build a monday app and submit it
Build an app on the monday.com apps framework that adds real value to monday users, for example an integration, a board view, or an automation that connects monday to your product. When it is ready, submit it through monday's official app submission form:

Step 2: Add your listing
Fill in your marketplace listing: the app name, a description of what it does, screenshots, and the link to your website.
Step 3: Pass review
monday.com reviews the app and the listing. Once it passes, the listing page goes live with a dofollow link to your site.
Caveats and common pitfalls
- This is not a quick directory submission. Every step requires a real, working app. If you don't already have (or plan to build) a genuine integration, the effort may not be worth it for one link.
- Review is mandatory. The marketplace team reviews submissions before they go live. Thin, placeholder, or broken apps are likely to be rejected, so treat the listing as a product launch, not a link drop.
- Verify the link attribute yourself. The source post says the listing page gives you a dofollow link. Marketplaces can change their templates, so once you're live, inspect the outbound link (look for
rel="nofollow",ugc, orsponsored) before counting it in your backlink report. - The DR figure comes from the source post. Domain Rating changes over time; check it in your own SEO tool if the exact number matters to you.
- Fill out the listing properly. A complete description, screenshots, and a clear link to your site give the page a better chance of being approved and of sending real referral traffic, not just link equity.
Which sites is this good for?
- SaaS tools used for project management, CRM, marketing, HR, or operations workflows that teams run in monday.com.
- Products that can push data into or pull data out of monday boards.
- It is a poor fit for sites without a real integration to offer.

Most backlink lists hand you a platform name and stop there. They don't tell you which entry point to use, or which page actually carries a dofollow link. On the same platform, a profile page and a project page can have completely different link attributes. If you post in the wrong place, the effort is wasted.
Web 2.0 sites are free platforms where you can publish your own pages. Used well, they give you a place to publish helpful content that links to your main site. A post in the "Free backlink" series on X picks Strikingly, the site builder, as backlink number 9. Here is what the post suggests, what Strikingly's free plan actually gives you, and what I couldn't verify.
