Filling in 35 forms is the slow part. We make Outrank, and we do it for you.

This table is free and stays free. If you would rather spend the time on your product, here are the two things we sell. Neither promises a ranking.

What to know before you submit

Expect fees and link swaps

The largest AI directories often charge for a listing, and several free tiers ask you to link back to them first. A required link back is an exchange, so read the terms before you agree. The notes in the table say so where we saw it.

This category changes fast

Our check removed AI directories that no longer load or now redirect somewhere unrelated. Check a site is still active before you pay it.

The links that now do very little

People still search for these lists, so the rows are in the table and labeled. We are not recommending them for SEO. Read Google’s link spam policy.

Social bookmarking sites 17

Expect little or no SEO value. Google's policy names bookmark site links as an example of link spam when they are low quality. Pinterest and Flipboard can still send readers if your audience is there, so use them for reach, not for links.

Profile creation sites 21

A profile link shows a brand exists, and that is about all. Anyone can make one in a minute, so search engines have little reason to count it. Fill in the profiles you would really use, such as GitHub, and skip the bulk lists.

Article submission sites 15

The old article directories are going away: EzineArticles, GoArticles and HubPages all failed our check. Google's policy also covers links with optimized anchor text in articles distributed on other sites. Medium and DEV can reach readers, so write for them, not for the link.

Questions

How we checked this, Oct 31, 2026

We started from the Outrank team’s list of 404 places to post a startup and added 110 well-known business, bookmarking, profile and article sites that keyword searches expect. A script then did the following on :

  1. Opened every site with an honest bot name, 8 at a time, and removed the ones that failed, were parked or served spam. Discord invites were checked against Discord’s invite API.
  2. Read the Domain Rating for each domain from the seo-traffic-authority data API. Domain Rating is a third-party estimate. Groups inside Reddit, Discord and LinkedIn show n/a, because the platform’s score says nothing about them.
  3. Read each submit page for clear free or paid wording. We also read vendor pages by hand for the biggest sites. “Not checked” means we could not find a clear answer. We did not guess. Subreddits and bookmarking, profile and article sites show Free because the account is free. Prices change, so confirm before you pay.
  4. Sampled up to 4 listing pages per listing site and read the rel attribute on outbound links. A site needs at least 3 links for a verdict. Sites can treat new listings differently, so treat this as a sample. “Effort” is the Outrank team’s estimate.

Sites that refuse automated requests stay marked “blocks checks”. We did not try to get around those blocks. Outbound links here are nofollow, and no site paid to be listed. We make Outrank, which sells the services above.
