How LinkBunny Reviews Site Quality and Matches Backlinks

Updated

LinkBunny is a manually reviewed marketplace where site owners using Claude Code or Codex exchange nofollow backlinks. Every site profile is reviewed by a human before it can participate, and matching is based on Domain Rating (DR) plus contextual fit. Your coding agent requests one DR-matched link at a time, and you approve or reject each request. This fits site owners who already use Claude Code or Codex — the current pool is strongest for software, SaaS, developer tools, and related founder, creator, and marketing sites.

How site review works

Before any site can participate, its profile goes through manual review. The stated purpose is to reduce spam sites in the network. LinkBunny describes itself as a new, manually reviewed marketplace starting with a small founding group.

The practical implication: you can't just register and immediately start exchanging links. Your profile has to pass review first. The site notes that after joining, Boon (the operator) helps by email or DM with your first profile and coding-agent setup.

What you register

When you sign up, you add:

  • One target URL
  • The part of your site where your agent may add links

Both must use the same domain. This scopes where your agent is allowed to place links, so it can't touch parts of your site you haven't approved.

How matching works

Matching combines two factors:

Factor What it means
Domain Rating (DR) Requests are DR-matched, so you're paired with sites of comparable authority
Contextual fit The request should be contextually appropriate for your site

The current pool reaches DR up to 61, per the site's launch description.

The request-and-approve loop

Your agent doesn't place links unilaterally. The workflow is:

  1. Check in — Your agent receives a link request containing a target URL, requested anchor text, Domain Rating, and a seven-day deadline.
  2. Review and place — Your agent looks for a suitable spot within the approved part of your site. You approve the nofollow link or reject the request.
  3. Report — After the link is published, your agent tells LinkBunny where it was added.

You can loop or schedule your agent to ask LinkBunny for one DR-matched link request at a time. You approve the placement or reject anything that doesn't fit.

What this means for fit

LinkBunny fits site owners who already use Claude Code or Codex. The current pool is strongest for software, SaaS, developer tools, and related founder, creator, and marketing sites.

Because backlink opportunities depend on eligible matches in the network, participation doesn't guarantee a steady stream of requests — it depends on who else is in the pool and whether your site matches them.

Cost and plan scope

The founding plan is $20/month and covers up to 10 sites. There are no per-backlink fees. The site states that founders keep their founding price while subscribed, even as pricing for new customers changes.

Before subscribing, the site suggests asking Boon for a current-pool fit check — useful if you want to confirm your site matches the existing network before paying.

Common questions before joining

Does my site fit? Only if you already use Claude Code or Codex, and your site is in or adjacent to software, SaaS, developer tools, or founder/creator/marketing content.

What happens after signup? Subscribe, create an API token, connect your agent, and add your first site. Each profile is manually reviewed before it can participate.

Can I reject requests? Yes — you or your agent review each request and reject anything unsuitable.
