Good Collaboration resources for link building

[Gavo]

We have recently come across this site in our work on a website: https://collabosaurus.com

We are wondering if there are any other collaborative tools or sites like this that may be effective for partnering or matching with people for link building purposes. If anyone is aware of anything similar, we'd love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance!

Is this an startup?

[Gavo]

Yes, I think Collabosaurus is a startup. It's an innovative idea to pair businesses for marketing opportunities, link-building included. We're wondering if there are other platforms like it out there?

I know some sites, that try to match influencers, bloggers or small communities with brands and advertisers. I dont know if that is what you are looking for.

In fact I will try maybe is useful for some of my brands.

Hmm - aside from webrings of yore, I haven't seen too many tools trying to accomplish this. There were a few out there trying to connect guest bloggers, but, they mostly turned into directories of spam or low quality sites, not ones you'd really want to partner with.

As Roman mentioned, there's tons of influencer networks in every consumer niche that will enable pay-to-play opportunities but the safe advice is to treat these as advertising opportunities, not link opportunities.

Most people doing good collaboration will do direct email outreach and treat the collaborations like a real partnership (links are a side benefit and never mentioned). Figure out a good way to partner with people and the links will be naturally part of it.
