Land more good links a month, and prove every one still counts

You're judged on links landed and how good they are. TaskGlaze vets each site before you pitch, tells you what kind of link it gives out, keeps every deal on one record, and re-checks each placement until the day it matters.

01/The problem

What keeps your monthly link count down

Most link builders don't run short of effort. They lose it to sites that were never going to say yes, and to links that quietly stop counting.

  • Weak sites slip through

    A domain that looked fine in a spreadsheet turns out to be spammy or nofollow-only after you've spent the pitch on it.

  • The wrong ask

    A guest post pitch to a site that only does niche edits, or a link request to a curated resource list, gets ignored.

  • Deals live in your inbox

    Prices, anchors, target URLs and content rules are scattered across threads, so a placement goes live with the wrong anchor.

  • Landed links don't stay landed

    A link counted this month gets removed or switched to nofollow next quarter, and your numbers are wrong without anyone noticing.

02/Where your week goes

Your job is landing links. Most of the week isn't

Here is the work that sits between you and the next placement, done by hand and done in TaskGlaze.

  • By hand

    Vetting sites

    Open each domain in three tools to check authority, spam signals and whether its links are followed, then copy the numbers into a sheet.

    In TaskGlaze: Website Authority (0–100) and spam score sit on every referring domain, and dofollow-only, minimum authority and maximum spam filters apply before the scan runs.

  • By hand

    Working out the ask

    Dig through each site for a write-for-us page, an advertise page or a resource list before you know what to pitch.

    In TaskGlaze: Each prospect is tagged with one of 15 link types, with a confidence score, and contributor guidelines are pulled onto the record when the site publishes them.

  • By hand

    Tracking the deal

    Keep price, anchor, target URL and deadline in a sheet that drifts from what you actually agreed by email.

    In TaskGlaze: Deal price, target URL, requested anchor, link duration and content requirements live on the prospect, which moves from Negotiating to Deal Closed to Link Received.

  • By hand

    Proving the link

    Re-open old placements to check they're live and dofollow, whenever you remember.

    In TaskGlaze: Each placement is re-checked on a schedule against your exact target URL, with its rel value recorded every time and a loss confirmed in a real browser.

  • More pitches that can land

    Weak sites and wrong asks are filtered out before you write, so your sends go where a yes is possible.

  • Deals that match the link

    What you agreed and what went live sit on the same record, so mismatched anchors get caught.

  • Numbers you can defend

    Every link you count is still checked, with its status and rel value, long after the month it landed.

03/How it works

From a raw list to a link that holds

The job, in the order you actually do it, with the part of TaskGlaze that handles each step.

  1. Pull prospects worth vetting

    Start from the sites linking to competitors, filtered at the source by authority, spam score and dofollow, and rolled up one row per domain.

    Backlink analysis
  2. Know the ask before you pitch

    Every prospect is tagged as Guest Post, Niche Edit, Link Insertion, Resource Page, HARO / Journalist or another of 15 types, and niche fit is judged in the same pass.

  3. Reach the person who decides

    The contact finder pulls the addresses a site publishes and scores deliverability out of 100. Pick the editor over the generic inbox.

    Outreach CRM
  4. Pitch the matching template

    The template library is organised by link type, so a niche-edit ask and a guest post pitch are different emails. Follow-ups stop the moment someone replies.

    Email outreach
  5. Close the deal on the record

    Price, anchor, target URL and link duration are agreed and stored. The stage moves to Link Received when the placement is live.

  6. Keep it counting

    Every placement is re-checked: still there, still pointing at your exact URL, still dofollow. A failed check names one of 16 reasons.

04/Built for you

Built for people measured on links

Details that protect link quality, not just volume.

  • Filters at the source

    Quality filters apply to the scan itself, and you can save them as presets for the next competitor.

  • Paid and earned, both honest

    Deal prices are recorded, and monitoring classifies every link as dofollow, nofollow, sponsored or UGC, so a paid link marked sponsored shows as one.

  • One prospect, many placements

    A site that gave you three links is one record with three placements, each checked on its own.

  • No site pitched twice

    Backlink results and the gap view mark domains already in your CRM.

“I think there are tons of opportunities to just help people out and by helping them out you'll gain followers, re-tweets, and even links.”
