What about a digital form saas ?I think you just need to be creative. Some popular campaigns we ran:
Client: Beauty & Fashion Webshop
Petition against a viral harmful beauty trend on TikTok
Client: Football News Site
Petition for keeping an athlete: Get fans to support a popular player who is leaving their team urging him to stay.
Client: Gaming Development Studio
Petition for a remake: Rally gamers to support a remake of a classic console game.
The key is to find topics that are relevant in the news and trigger strong emotional responses.
Even though have seen hundreds of petition pages I never thought of this. Thanks for sharing something new.I’ve been driving traffic to client sites using petition sites. I start by checking which petition sites are getting some love from Google after algorithm updates. Change dot org is huge but for example actionnetwork dot org doubled its traffic over the last year, so this one looks promising too:

Next I search for petitions on these sites that are getting a decent amount of engagement. Let's say you’re in the travel niche, you could Google “actionnetwork dot org + travel” and find something like this with 17k signatures:
![]()
Obviously I make sure the petition is recent and relevant to the site I’m promoting - no point in pushing something outdated that no one’s searching for.
Once I find a good one I ask ChatGPT to help me rewrite it. The prompt might be something like: “Rewrite this petition in your own words. Craft a compelling story that motivates action. Begin by outlining the problem, present a solution, and naturally encourage readers to visit xyz.com.”
After that, I optimize it with a few keywords so it will rank, throw in an image, add a backlink to my client’s site for some nice DR86 link juice and hit publish. If you’ve got a decent newsletter list you could ask your subscribers to sign the petition to get some extra engagement. For one client I reached out to local media outlets and they started reporting on it : ). The more people engage, the more traffic you’ll get. Oh and don't forget to build some Tier 2 links to your petition page when it's live.
There are tons of other petition sites where you can post something like this to get both traffic and great backlinks.
preferable to do that from another language if your blog english try to search in other language in the same nich thats work and no junk trrafic you must be carful in you targetWell, maybe it will bring some junk traffic, but it will have a high bounce rate.
The link won't be very relevant to the website either. So what's the point?

What tier 2 links work best for you?
I do kind of an opposite strategy.I have been testing out another strategy with good results last few weeks. First I create a selection of sites that are indirect competitors of our clients. For example if my client sells yachts on their website, I’d make a list of indirect competitors like private jet companies, luxury real estate or high-end vehicles.
Next I don't write a boring listicle like “5 Best Private Jet Companies”. Write a more unique and engaging blog post like “The Unseen Stories Behind 5 Industry-Leading Private Jet Companies.”
I do quite a bit of extra research on things like awards they’ve won, asking our client if they know any insider info or finding interviews with the founder that mention something funny.
Once this blogpost is live on our client’s site we reach out via email. If there’s no reply, we try social media, targeting people in the marketing department or CEO (Twitter and LinkedIn work best for this in my experience).
Results have been quite good but a bit all over the place; most companies shared the post on their social media channels (one had 30k+ followers), others link back to it from their blog and one included it in their newsletter. The backlinks are relevant since they’re related to my client’s niches and always target a similar audience. Anyone else successfully implemented this?
Creative approach! Hadn’t thought of it but will definitely give it a try.I do kind of an opposite strategy.
I reach out over linkedin or twitter to someone who has engagement, and an opinion or passion in a niche I can easily bridge to my subject matter. I praise them and ask for an interesting interview "to merge both of our audiences".
When they accept to be quoted or interviewed, THEN I create the content.
Last year, I interviewed a propane gas company safety superviser on Turkey. My saas client did NOT get a link. But they still get between 10 and 100 unique visits monthly from that retweet/linkedin post.
...selection of sites that are indirect competitors of our clients
I haven’t experimented with anonymous accounts yet. But we recently launched a recurring series called 'Best Luxury Events to Attend This Season,' where we highlight monthly events in the niche. We then inform the event organizers that they’ve been featured, and they’re often eager to share or link back. The tricky part is the outreach—getting the organizer to see and engage with the post.Joozed:
Thanks for sharing! I will definitely try this approach on my SaaS client. Did you consider expanding this approach even further? eg. going with direct competitors? creating a competitor review article on a different domain, and then reaching out to competitors anonymously?
