I createa a Backlinks directory with submission status tracking

by

We all submit our products to directories. Not many people complain about how painful it is.

I've been submitting my product to directories for a couple of months already. It goes like that:

- It's impossible to predict if the link is dofollow. Fill out a form with 15 fields, wait for a week, and be listed — but it will turn out to be nofollow.

- Zero DR. Sometimes I would have 30 tabs opened in Ahrefs to check if the directory is worth 20 minutes of my time.

- Each directory has its own set of unwritten rules. Put yourself in the wrong category, use free email address or write a commercial description, and the chances are high you'll be rejected without any explanation why.

- About half of the "500 free directories" lists are outdated. I checked the last 168 of them. There are 10 of the dead domains in there, including 2 at DR 80 that appear on every single list people post.

- It's hard to keep track of what you submitted. After three weeks I simply didn't know which sites I submitted, which were pending and which had already rejected me. Even though I used a spreadsheet.

So I've created Where To Submit ().

- More than 500 submission sites

- DR of each site

- Type of link (dofollow/nofollow), which I've actually verified, no guessing

- Tips how to submit your product in hand-written form, for more than 150 sites

- Filter the list based on whether a site is submitted/approved/rejected

- Remove the dead sites from the list when I find them

Let me be honest with you: tips exists for about 150 sites, not 500, and link type is verified in about half of them. The other half I left blank because I think guessing makes all other lists worthless.
