Do you want to know when it was coded? DropMyLink was coded about 7 years ago.
The previous version was completely simple to leverage even for a novice in SEO best practices and it took just about one hour to finish coding this tool. DropMyLink previously had 15+ SEO footprints that could be leveraged by anyone to identify some useful backlink sources quickly.
Initially, the owner coded this tool for his personal use and to make things easy for himself when it comes to building high-quality backlinks.
Prior to the recent changes in search algorithms, people could easily get their websites ranked on the first page by adding some comments, Infographics, profiles, and web 2.0 links.
There was a forum thread which compiled a huge list containing hundreds of SEO footprints that could be leveraged to build backlinks and this is still a very prominent thread that has got hundreds of replies, yet this is extremely energy-consuming and very difficult to filter through, particularly for an individual.
So, this is what gave birth to DropMyLink.
This tool was created purposely to combine the most prominent of these footprints in a single place and get them attainable in the simplest way possible for everyone.
Do you want to know? With little or no promotion on the owner’s part, DropMyLink has got several mentions on most mainstream blogs such as ProBlogger, QuickSprout, Niche Hacks, and several other places out there.
