Does Postmake give a dofollow backlink?
Postmake links to your site with a dofollow link, the kind Google may count toward your site's authority.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 40. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
Who gets into Postmake, and how fast?
Submissions are reviewed first, and most products that fit get in.
New listings are shown to its audience: on the homepage, in a newsletter or on social media.
The badge form says Postmake will review and reach out by email within a couple of business days. Paid submissions are reviewed after payment, with notification once published; no review duration is stated. Paid submissions deemed not a fit are said to receive a full refund.
