The Link Chest by SEO Buddy
"Don't build another backlink databaseâbuild the first honest one with real-time verification."
"SEO desperation. Users need backlinks for rankings and believe a database will shortcut manual research."
Backlink quality is subjective and requires constant maintenance. Market is cynical due to past scams.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$227k revenue proves desperate market demand for backlink solutions, despite massive user dissatisfaction.
4.29 rating with 256 reviews shows users hate the product but need the solution. High volume of complaints = massive opportunity to improve.
Static database model has low ongoing costs. No unlimited AI/storage traps. Risk: database decay without maintenance.
Competitors are manual outreach or expensive agencies. No dominant SaaS player with good UX.
