Editorial Link Opportunities - Regular Updates! [HIGH DA/DR]

I notice everyone been sharing free to post/profile/bio link opportunities, thought I'll give it a bit of a twist.

Editorial Links require a bit of effort to get, but definitely well worth the effort.

You don't associate yourself with the spammy sites (Which free to post sites always attract.) + it creates a barrier/difficulty for your competitor to acquire the link too, giving you an edge.

Here's a sample of a a contest backlink (Editorial Approved),
wouldn't release it publicly since pretty much a zero day for now.

I'm certain nobody sees movement like this with just 1 free to post link.

This whole thread will be on hard-to-get editorial links that will move the needle.

If it's hard for you - it'll be hard for your competitor too.

"Free" links work ofc, but not as significant as something that requires editorial approval on a authority site.
