Anti-Spam & Outreach Policy

Rules for honest, lawful outreach and how we enforce them.

Last updated 2 min read

Good link building is a conversation between people who run relevant websites. LinkHunter is designed to make that conversation easy and to make spam hard. These rules apply to every workspace.

Received an email you didn’t want? Use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of it — you will not hear from that sender through LinkHunter again. You can also report it to us.

1. Our outreach principles

  1. Relevance: contact a site only when your content is genuinely useful to its readers.
  2. Honesty: say who you are, why you are writing and what you are asking for. No fake familiarity (“loved your recent post”) you can’t back up.
  3. Respect: a “no” or an unsubscribe is final. Follow-ups are few and stop the moment someone replies.
  4. Disclosure: paid placements are sponsored content and are labelled as such.

2. What is not allowed

  • Purchased or harvested lists. Contacts must come from addresses published on the website you are contacting, or from a reputable business-contact provider used within its terms.
  • Personal addresses where a business address exists, and contacting people outside the role relevant to your request.
  • Deceptive subject lines or headers, such as fake “Re:” or “Fwd:”, false urgency, or a sender name that isn’t you or your company.
  • Spoofing and mailbox rotation. Sending from addresses or domains you don’t control, or spreading volume across mailboxes to avoid limits or filters.
  • Link schemes. Private blog networks, automated link exchanges, or buying links to manipulate rankings.
  • Undisclosed paid links. Any payment, gift or exchange for a link requires rel="sponsored" (or nofollow).
  • Ignoring opt-outs or re-importing suppressed contacts.

3. How LinkHunter enforces this

Suppression firstEvery send checks the workspace suppression list (unsubscribes, bounces, complaints and deletion requests). Suppressed addresses can’t be emailed or re-imported.
One-click unsubscribeEach email carries a personal unsubscribe link and the List-Unsubscribe headers mailbox providers use. Unsubscribing cancels scheduled follow-ups immediately.
Sender identificationYour company name and website are added to every outreach email.
Sending limits, one mailboxEach campaign sends from one mailbox within a daily limit and a sending window. LinkHunter never rotates mailboxes.
Honesty filterAI drafts that invent familiarity, claim to have read things, or promise payment are rejected before you see them.
ApprovalsDepending on the campaign mode, emails wait for approval. Prices and paid placements always need a person’s approval.
Paid-link checksPaid placements must be sponsored or nofollow, and the Backlink Monitor verifies the attribute on the live page.
Published sources onlyThe Contact Finder keeps only addresses on the site’s own domain, respects robots.txt and records where each address was found.

4. Laws you must follow

You are the sender. Depending on where your recipients are, rules such as CAN-SPAM (US), UK GDPR and PECR, EU GDPR and national ePrivacy laws, and CASL (Canada) apply. In short: have a lawful reason to contact each person, identify yourself, include a working opt-out, and honour it promptly. This summary is not legal advice.

5. If these rules are broken

High bounce or complaint rates, reports from recipients, or evidence of the practices above may lead us to pause sending, restrict features or suspend the workspace, as described in the Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Report spam sent with LinkHunter

Forward the email with full headers to support@linkhunter.cc, or use the contact form. For data requests about yourself, write to support@linkhunter.cc.
