Backlinks, built in.From real sites, inside relevant articles.
Backlinks are the part of SEO people pay most for and trust least: link packages, outreach agencies, sites that exist only to sell links. Tepine’s link network works differently. Sites that publish with Tepine link to each other’s relevant articles, inside the articles themselves, so every member earns backlinks from real, active sites — with no outreach and at no extra cost.
01
How the link network works
Once your site joins, your published articles can be linked to by other members. When another member’s article covers something close to one of yours, the writer can link to it — in the body, with link text that says what the reader will find. Your articles can do the same for theirs.
Each link is placed by the article that carries it, at the moment it is written, and only where it gives that article’s reader something useful. There is no links page, no footer of partners and no list of sites to buy from.
- Ordinary followed links, in the body of real articles
- From other businesses publishing with Tepine
- Included in your plan, at no extra cost
02
Rules that keep the links editorial
A link network is only worth joining if its links look like what they are: one site pointing to another because it helps the reader. So the network holds every link to a few rules, applied automatically.
At most one link per article to another member, and only where it fits the topic. Only between articles in the same language. Never to a site you listed as a competitor. And no quick swaps: a site that linked to yours in the last 30 days is not linked back.
- At most one link to another member per article
- Never to a site you listed as a competitor
- No swapping: no link back within 30 days
03
Yours to switch on, and off
The network is off until you choose it, during setup or at any time on your site profile, where the change saves at once. Leaving stops new links in both directions.
Whether you join or not, every article links to your own earlier articles where they are relevant — internal links that help search engines understand your site.

See every link you get
The dashboard shows how many backlinks other members’ articles have made to yours, and the newest few: which article linked, and to which of your pages.

- The article that linked, and the page it links to
Under the hood
The details, for the careful buyer.
Followed links
Links in the network are ordinary links, not marked nofollow, placed in the body text of the article that carries them.
One per article
An article links to at most one other member’s article, so no page turns into a list of outbound links.
Same language only
Articles only link to articles written in the same language, so the link always makes sense to the reader.
No competitors
Your articles never link to a site you listed as a competitor in setup.
No quick swaps
If a site linked to yours in the last 30 days, your articles do not link back to it in that time.
Only live pages
Links only point at articles that are published and whose address is known, so they never lead to a page that does not exist.
Questions
About backlinks.
Is this a link exchange? Is it safe?
It is a network of sites linking to each other, and we would rather say that plainly. Search engines warn against links swapped purely to manipulate rankings, so the network is built to avoid exactly those patterns: one relevant link per article, no swapping back within 30 days, no competitors, same language, followed links in real content. No one can promise how a search engine judges any link. If you would rather not take part, leave it off: everything else works the same.
How many backlinks will I get?
It depends on how many members publish on subjects close to yours. The network is young and grows as more sites join, so we do not promise a number. Your dashboard shows every backlink you receive.
Do I have to link to other sites?
Joining means your articles can include a link to another member’s article, at most one per article and only where it helps your reader. If you do not want that, keep the network off.
Does it cost extra?
No. The link network is part of the plan, like the content plan, the writing and the publishing.
Can I still get backlinks elsewhere?
Of course. Nothing here stops you earning links from press, partners or anyone else, and articles that answer real questions well are the kind other sites link to on their own.
