I’ve reached out to several website owners to offer backlink exchanges, but no one replies or they ask for payment. I’m trying to keep it ethical and niche-specific, but still, no luck :( Is this normal? - How do you even find people open to exchanging links? - Are there platforms or directories where people are actively looking? - Should I be offering something else besides just a backlink? Maybe I’m approaching it the wrong way… any tips?

I totally get that, cold outreach for backlink swaps can be hit or miss, here’s what helped me: - Make the first link move: Show goodwill by already linking to someone in an article, then notify them. Higher chance they’ll return the favor. - Try using tools like Hunter.io to find emails of relevant website owners. - Also, don’t focus only on homepage swaps, suggest contextual links from blog posts or resources pages. The key is to offer value first rather than asking out of the blue.
