Reciprocal Partner Badge Rules & Verification Guidelines
Review the official automated watchdog requirements to maintain permanent verified status and top-tier directory placement.
1
Publicly Accessible URL
The page hosting your LinkDepot verified badge must be publicly accessible to web crawlers without login gates, bot blockers, or noindex tags.
2
Standard Follow Anchor Tag
The link must use a standard HTML anchor tag pointing to https://linkdepot.net without nofollow or noopener rel overrides that restrict PageRank flow.
3
Unobscured Visual Display
The badge image or text anchor must be visible to human users in the footer, sidebar, or partners section (not hidden via CSS display:none).
4
Registered Domain Origin
The reciprocal badge must be placed on the exact domain registered in your LinkDepot submission (subdomains require separate listing registration).
