Homepage Backlinks
Links placed on a publisher's homepage, where internal link equity is usually concentrated, chosen carefully for relevance and handled with clear terms.
What’s Included
- Relevant publishers that offer homepage placements
- Clear statement of placement type and expected homepage duration
- Content creation for featured articles where needed
- Link attribute disclosed before approval
- Screenshot or capture of homepage placement
- Report with the final permanent URL of the content
A website's homepage typically has the most backlinks and the most internal link equity, so a link placed there can pass more value than one deep in an archive. Homepage links are also highly visible to visitors. That combination makes them attractive, but it also makes them easy to misuse. Sitewide footer links and blogroll swaps were a classic link scheme, and search engines learned to discount them.
We offer homepage backlinks in contextual formats: featured articles that rotate on the homepage, editorial mentions in homepage content and partner or resource sections that make sense for the publisher. We explain clearly how long the placement stays on the homepage, what happens when it moves, and which attribute the publisher uses.
What Are Homepage Backlinks?
Homepage backlinks are links that appear on the main page of another website, either within homepage content, a featured post section, or a dedicated partner area. They benefit from the homepage's typically strong authority and internal linking.
Many homepage links are temporary by nature. A featured post may sit on the homepage for days or weeks before moving to a category or archive page, where it remains live but carries less equity. Permanent homepage placements exist but are rarer and should be contextual, not a sitewide footer link.
Why Consider Homepage Backlinks?
Concentrated equity
Homepages usually hold the most authority on a site, which can strengthen the link.
Fast discovery
Search engines crawl homepages frequently, so new links are found quickly.
High visibility
Visitors landing on the homepage can see and click your link.
Brand association
A homepage feature signals that the publisher considers you worth highlighting.
Campaign support
Useful for launches or announcements where early visibility matters.
Lasting archive link
Featured posts usually remain live on their own URL after leaving the homepage.

Homepage Links vs Inner-Page Contextual Links
| Factor | Homepage Links | Inner-Page Contextual Links |
|---|---|---|
| Initial equity | Often higher | Moderate |
| Duration in position | Often temporary | Usually permanent |
| Topical context | Can be limited | Strong |
| Visibility | High | Depends on article traffic |
| Risk if sitewide | Higher, can look manipulative | Lower |
Who Is This For?

- Established sites looking for stronger equity on key pages
What to Consider Before Buying Homepage Backlinks
- Many homepage placements rotate off over time; know the expected duration before you buy.
- Sitewide or footer links are risky and frequently discounted by search engines; we avoid them.
- Homepage links lack the topical context of an in-article link, so they work best alongside contextual links.
- Publishers in restricted niches such as casino, gambling, CBD, adult, crypto, health, finance and legal rarely offer homepage placements, and disclosure and local laws apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are homepage backlinks permanent?
Usually not in the homepage position itself. Featured posts typically move to archive or category pages after a period, but the content and link generally stay live at their own URL.
Are homepage backlinks better than other links?
They can pass more equity initially, but in-article links on relevant pages often offer stronger topical signals and more stability. A mix is best.
Do you sell sitewide links?
No. Sitewide footer and sidebar links are a known manipulation pattern that search engines often devalue, so we don't recommend them.
How do I know my link appeared on the homepage?
We capture the homepage placement when it goes live and report both the homepage view and the permanent article URL.
Are homepage links dofollow?
It depends on the publisher. Some use rel="sponsored" for featured or partner placements. We state the attribute before you approve.
