SwapAds Roadmap
What we’re building — and what comes next
A rough roadmap, not a promise calendar. We ship when a phase is ready — dates would just be guesses.
Phase 1 — Foundations
Where we are today: the core backlink exchange works end-to-end and is live in the early adopters program.
🔗 Backlink exchange v1
Offers, approvals, 3-way placements, per-backlink controls. Live.
🛡️ Anti-fraud & verification
Bot detection, viewability, domain + email verification. Live.
📊 Statistics
Views, clicks, daily rollups, indexation checks. Live.
👥 Early Adopters Program
Pioneer + Partner tiers, founder access, onboarding calls. Live.
Phase 2 — Network Growth
What we’re building next, in no particular order.
🌿 Partner tier opening
Broader onboarding for the next wave of operators.
📖 Public operator directory
Every verified operator gets a public profile page.
📈 Matching improvements
Smarter pairing from real trade data — niche match accuracy, response time.
💬 Case studies
Published results with real numbers from early adopters.
🔁 Auto-recheck workflows
Automated re-verification and indexation re-checks.
🤝 Referral program
Invite fellow operators and grow the network together.
Phase 3 — Scale & Monetization
When the network reaches scale, pricing arrives — with early adopters locked in free.
💳 Subscription pricing
Only after the network crosses a size threshold. Early adopters keep free pricing.
🏢 Agency tier
Multi-site management for studios and agencies.
🎫 Credit packs
Optional accelerators for operators who want more than 1:1 trades.
📊 Advanced analytics
Deeper performance and traffic-quality reporting.
Phase 4 — Expansion
New niches open only after legal review — we don’t rush compliance.
₿ Crypto niche
After legal review — waitlist open now.
🎰 iGaming niche
Jurisdiction by jurisdiction, after legal review.
🌿 Cannabis niche
After legal review — CBD gets its own sub-niche.
✍️ Guest blog exchange
Editorial guest posts between verified operators.
🧩 More builders
Elementor / WPBakery support, AMP, push notifications.
What we’re deliberately NOT building yet
- A public app marketplace — the network comes first.
- Non-WordPress clients — WordPress only while we prove the network effect.
- Service workers / PWA — deferred until push notifications matter more.
- Email notifications — in-dashboard notifications only for now.
Help us build the roadmap
Early adopters shape what gets built first — your niche and use case get priority.
