A MentionAgent alternative for guest posts and link inserts
Linkade pitches guest posts and link inserts to sites that fit your business, including the ones that charge. You never have to link back.
No card needed.
Links that don't cost you a link
No link back, ever
Linkade asks each site for a guest post or a link in a post it already has, and the site links to you. Nothing is asked of you in return. MentionAgent's deals are mostly mention swaps: the blog mentions you, and you mention it back on your own site.
Sites that charge stay in
Some sites ask a fee for a guest post or a link insert. Linkade keeps them on your list next to the free ones and leaves the choice to you. MentionAgent's agent turns down any site that asks for a fee.
A first email with no swap in it
Linkade's first email is about something the site published and asks whether they'd like to hear more. It offers no swap and keeps the link back until they say yes. MentionAgent's sample pitch asks for a mention and offers one back in the same email.
More than a Google search
Linkade looks at who links to your competitors, which pages rank for your keywords and who writes about your market, and widens the search when it runs short. MentionAgent searches Google for posts on your subject, such as gift guides and roundups.

Linkade or MentionAgent: which should I pick?
Pick Linkade if you want guest posts and link inserts, including on sites that charge, without linking back.
Pick MentionAgent if you want mention swaps and replies drafted for you.
One-way links instead of swaps
Why not trade mentions?
A swap means adding a link to their site on your own pages, and keeping it there. With Linkade the deal runs one way: the publisher links to you, and you never link back.
Will I have to pay publishers?
Only if you choose to. Linkade keeps the sites that charge next to the ones that don't, and any fee is between you and the editor.
Who answers the editors?
You do, from your Linkade mailbox. Linkade sorts each reply so the interested ones come first, and you write the answer. MentionAgent drafts replies for you to send.
Can I use Linkade for a local business or a shop?
Yes. Linkade works out what you sell and where from your own pages, then pitches sites in your market. A site outside it is dropped as soon as it's found.
