GitHub · Free backlink opportunities
Profiles, project sites, and package pages on github.com — each surface has different link rules.
GitHub hosts several distinct backlink paths: a profile README repo, GitHub Pages sites, and container or package listings on GitHub Container Registry (GHCR). Pick the workflow that matches your product (personal brand, docs site, or shipped artifact).

Backlink opportunities,on GitHub
Profiles, project sites, and package pages on github.com — each surface has different link rules.
1st Backlink Opportunity
Profile README
Create a public repository named like your username with a README.md — GitHub renders it on your profile. README and profile website links on github.com are nofollow.
2nd Backlink Opportunity
GitHub Pages site
Publish a static site or docs on github.io (or a custom domain). Unlike READMEs on github.com, Pages serves your HTML without adding rel=nofollow to outbound links you author.
3rd Backlink Opportunity
Container package (GHCR)
Publish an OCI image to GitHub Container Registry under your user or org. The package page lives on github.com — README and repo links use GitHub’s nofollow sanitizer, similar to profile READMEs.
