# How to add backlinks

> Add up to 150 backlink URLs per submission after you choose a domain. Optional tags, contacts, and notes apply to the new rows.

Add the pages that should contain a link to a domain you already monitor. Open **Add links** from **Links** (`/links-add`).

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a domain">
    Select the destination domain. If you still need to add one, use **Add Domain** on this page. You cannot submit URLs without a domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: tags">
    Assign tags (max 5 per link). Skip this step if you do not need them yet. See [Tags](/article/tags).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: contacts">
    Assign contacts so you can see who placed the link. Example: David. See [Contacts](/article/contacts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: notes">
    Add one note (max 300 characters). Ples applies it to every URL in this submission.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste URLs and finish">
    Enter one URL per line, up to **150** per submission. Click **Import and Finish**. New rows show as **Waiting** until the first 24-hour check.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  You also need an open **active link** slot and remaining **monthly add** quota (1.1× your plan’s link limit). Deleting a link frees a slot but does not reset monthly adds. See [Plan limits](/article/plan-limits).
</Info>

From **Domains**, unused domains also offer **Add Link**, which opens the same flow with that domain selected.
