# A free dofollow backlink for your iPhone app

Checked November 15, 2026.

> Every approved app on iPip with a website of its own gets a free followed link to it from its app page. A listing needs no badge. It is one real link, and nobody honest can promise a ranking.

## What you get

Your app's page on iPip has a **Website** button that points to your app's own site, when it has one. It is a plain link, with no `nofollow`, `ugc` or `sponsored` on it, so search engines may follow it and count it. Google explains those three words on its page about qualifying outbound links, linked below.

- It is free, whether you launch on a day or just list.
- A listing needs no badge on your site. A free launch day needs our badge when your app has a website of its own. A paid Featured launch needs none.
- The link does not depend on how many votes your app gets.

Paid places on iPip are the exception: they are labelled Featured, and their links are marked `sponsored`. The link on your own app page is not.

## How to check it yourself

Open any [app page](https://ipip.fyi/browse), view the page source and look for the website link. It looks like this: `<a class="btn glass ap-site" href="https://yourapp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Website</a>`

The `noopener` is a browser safety setting and has nothing to do with search engines.

## What it can and cannot do

It is one real link from a page about your app, on a site about iPhone and iPad apps. That is worth having, and it is not a ranking plan. iPip is new, so its weight is small today and grows as iPip grows. The page can also send you real visitors: people find it, read it and vote on it.

## How to get it

1. Paste your App Store link on [the submit page](https://ipip.fyi/submit), and your website if you have one.
2. We read the name, icon, screenshots and price from the App Store. Change anything that is wrong.
3. Choose a launch day, with 5 free spots a day, or just list it, then send it.
4. We check it and email you either way.

The full rules are on [our rules page](https://ipip.fyi/rules).

## Questions

**Is the website link on iPip really dofollow?**

Yes. The Website button on an app page has no nofollow, ugc or sponsored on it. You can check it in the page source.

**Do I need a badge to get the link?**

Not for a listing. A free launch day needs our badge when your app has a website of its own, and a paid Featured launch needs none.

**Does the link depend on votes?**

No. Every approved app with a website gets the same link, however many votes it gets.

**Will it help my app rank in Google?**

It is one real link from a page about your app, which is worth having. Nobody honest can promise a ranking, and iPip is new, so its weight grows as iPip grows.
