Overview

Indie Chains is a software platform designed for independent founders, product teams, directories, newsletters, blogs, and resource sites to discover relevant editorial collaborations and build backlinks safely without spam or cold outreach. It offers a reviewed network where members can publish their sites, find relevant matches, send contextual collaboration requests, and decide independently on collaborations to improve SEO and visibility.

Who is it for?
indie founders, indie SaaS makers, product teams, bloggers, and resource site operators seeking relevant backlink collaborations
Problem
Indie Chains addresses the difficulty indie founders face in finding relevant, high-quality backlink opportunities without resorting to spammy link exchanges, cold emails, or generic link swaps. It solves the problem of connecting real builders with relevant editorial collaborations in a trusted environment.
Solution
Indie Chains provides a manually reviewed network where members submit real sites, find relevant matches, send contextual collaboration requests explaining the fit, and independently decide on collaborations. It replaces cold outreach with a clear request workflow and human moderation to maintain quality.
What makes it unique

  • Context-first collaboration requests replace spammy link exchanges
  • Founder-to-founder communication with human support
  • No guaranteed rankings or traffic, focusing on genuine editorial fit

FAQ (5)
