What is LinkDR Affiliates?

LinkDR Affiliates is a backlink research and outreach tool designed to help you identify where your competitors are getting their links and find the contact details needed to secure similar ones. Instead of guessing which sites might link to you, the tool shows you verified backlink sources and provides verified contact information for website owners and editors. This approach aims to reduce wasted effort on poor-quality link prospects and agencies that oversell their capabilities. The freemium model lets you test basic backlink discovery before committing to a paid plan, making it useful for in-house marketing teams, SEO professionals, and agencies wanting to verify their own link-building work.
