Description: Official product and safety overview of the curated Indie Chains collaboration platform.
# A Curated Backlink Exchange Platform for SaaS and Indie Sites

Indie Chains helps indie founders and SaaS teams discover reviewed sites, send contextual collaboration requests, and keep editorial decisions with each site owner.

## Product workflow

1. Browse approved sites with category, Domain Rating, founder context, and placement preferences.
2. Identify a relevant opportunity and explain why it helps the target audience.
3. Discuss the request in a private thread.
4. Submit the published URL and record bilateral confirmation.

Indie Chains limits request volume to discourage generic outreach. Every publisher can edit, decline, or stop a proposal independently.

## Best fit

Indie Chains is intended for founders, SaaS teams, developers, marketers, and site operators with a real product or useful content site. It fits operators who want to review every opportunity and prefer relevant, lower-volume collaboration over bulk outreach.

It is not designed for bulk placement automation, link buying or selling, guaranteed rankings, required exact-match anchors, or sites created mainly to publish links.

## Safety boundaries

Indie Chains prohibits buying, selling, auctioning, or brokering links or placements through the product. It also prohibits spam, deceptive requests, link farms, private blog networks, and guaranteed-outcome claims.

Google identifies excessive exchanges and links created primarily to manipulate rankings as link spam. Manual review and relevance do not guarantee compliance. Members remain responsible for publishing only links that genuinely help readers.

The platform sells software access. It is not a paid-link marketplace and does not promise rankings, traffic, Domain Rating improvements, or publication.
