Free Backlinks & Guest Post Exchange – Consolety

Free backlinks. Real websites. Zero budget.

Consolety is a free guest post and backlink exchange network built into WordPress. You earn backlinks the honest way: write a guest post, publish it on another verified site in the network, and keep the links in it – without paying the $70-450+ that guest post marketplaces charge per placement.

No money changes hands. Instead, the network runs on points:

Host a guest post on your site -> earn points
Spend those points to publish your own guest post (with your backlinks) on another site
You curate everything: you write your own content, you approve what appears on your site

Why the backlinks are actually worth something

Most “free backlink” schemes give you links from spam directories and link farms. Consolety only contains real websites, because every member must prove ownership through Google Search Console OAuth. Google confirms the domain is theirs, and the network shows real GSC traffic data (clicks, impressions) for every publisher. Anonymous link farms cannot get in.

How It Works

Connect and verify – Install the plugin and link your Google Search Console. Google confirms you own the domain.
Browse the network – Discover verified publishers by niche, language, and real traffic. You can see the live network before you even connect.
Exchange content – Write guest posts in the built-in editor and submit them to sites you choose. Host posts from others to earn points.
Keep your backlinks – Published posts are regular WordPress articles on the host site. Daily link monitoring alerts you if a backlink disappears.

Free vs Pro

The Free plan is fully functional: browse, connect, host, publish, and build backlinks without paying anything.

Pro (EUR 29.99/month) is for site owners who want to scale link building: double daily points, +20 instead of +15 per hosted post, free connection requests, the campaign marketplace for distributing pre-written articles, priority placement in network discovery, and a doubled points cap.
