In plain words
What is the 3way link exchange?
3way is a credit-based marketplace where site owners trade links. You add your domains and choose what each one offers: placing links for others, receiving links from partners, or guest posts.
Credits are the currency. You earn them by placing links for other members or publishing their guest posts, and you spend them on links to your own site. If you're short, top up by card. If you have credits to spare, cash out via PayPal.
Every domain has a link value in credits, set by the same rules for everyone: Domain Rating (DR), traffic, spam score and category. The price is fixed when the request is sent.
One currency
Three ways to trade links. One currency.
Every member site has a link value in credits, worked out from its rating, traffic, spam score and niche. Place links to earn credits, spend them on links to your site, top up by card or cash out via PayPal.
Place links
Add partners' links to your existing articles. Every verified link earns you credits.
Get links
Request a link on a partner's page that fits your topic. Pay for it in credits.
Guest posts
Publish members' articles on your blog, or pitch your own to theirs.

Earn credits by placing links
When a member buys a link or a guest post on your site, you earn credits once the link is verified live or the post is approved. Your balance and the credits held in deals are always visible.

Capabilities
A currency built for links
One scale for earning, spending and cashing out.
Earn instead of paying
Place links or publish guest posts for other members and earn credits. A site that places links can fund its own backlinks without paying cash.
One value per domain
DR, traffic, spam score and category set every domain's link value. There is no haggling, and the price is fixed when the request is sent.
Top up or cash out
Top up by card when you're short. Cash out via PayPal when you have credits to spare.
Partner directory
Filter member sites by traffic, DR and category. Sort by credit cost or activity, and hide partners you've already worked with.
Public profile link
Share a page that lists your domains and their prices, so partners can find you without searching.
Chat on every deal
