Start with the kind of website you run
everybacklink is a directory of places where you can submit a website or publish a relevant contribution. It currently lists 763 platforms; 427 are recorded as free or having a free plan. You can browse without creating an everybacklink account. The platform you choose may require its own account.
Before opening submission forms, decide who you want to reach. A developer tool, an AI image editor and a local service business will have different shortlists. Read a platform's eligibility rules even when its category looks promising.
- Launch platforms are a starting point for a product announcement. Check whether the platform accepts your launch stage and whether you need a working public product.
- AI and SaaS directories are useful to explore when your product fits their categories. A site that uses AI internally may not meet an AI directory's criteria.
- Communities and blog platforms usually need a useful post or contribution. An account does not give you permission to post promotions anywhere.
- Developer platforms may require a real repository, package, extension or other working artifact. Follow their publishing rules.
- The Other category contains several kinds of platforms. Read the individual entry to find out whether it applies to your business.
For help preparing a listing and checking the result, read how to submit your website.
Use search, one quick filter and a category
Open the submission directory. Search matches words in each platform's name, domain, category and short description. Multiple search words must all match somewhere in that text. It does not search the full submission steps, requirements or tips.
For example, search for “Product Hunt” to find that entry. A phrase such as “no account required” may miss a platform even when that information appears in its detailed requirements. Open the entry to read those conditions.
The quick filters work as follows:
- All
- Removes the active quick filter. Your search text and category selection still apply.
- Free or free plan
- Includes entries recorded as Free or Freemium. It does not remove sites that require a badge, account or review. Read the price note to distinguish a basic listing from a paid upgrade.
- Dofollow
- Includes entries whose recorded link type is dofollow. Link attributes can differ by placement or plan, and can change. Inspect the actual published link before recording its type.
- No badge
- Includes entries recorded as not requiring a badge or backlink on your site. Entries with an unknown badge requirement are excluded. This filter does not mean the listing is free.
Only one quick filter is active at a time. You can combine it with a category and search text. If you choose Free or free plan and then click No badge, the second replaces the first. Open each remaining entry to check the condition you are no longer filtering by.
The category menu limits the list to one type of platform. Sort changes the order of the remaining results: Recommended uses the directory's editorial order, Highest DR puts recorded DR values first, and A–Z sorts by name. Missing DR values go last when sorting by DR. Recommended is not a prediction of which submission will earn the most traffic.
If you get no results, use Clear filters. Otherwise, return the quick filter to All, choose All types and clear the search field to see the full list. On smaller screens, the quick-filter row scrolls sideways.
Read the conditions before you create an account
Click a platform's row to open its detail panel. You can also open the platform name in a new tab to read its standalone page. For example, the Product Hunt entry has its own URL you can bookmark or share.
Read the price and link type first, then look through these sections when they are available:
- Before you submit lists known requirements, such as an account, a live product or ownership verification. It can also show things the platform does not require.
- How to submit describes the recorded submission process. Some entries do not yet have detailed steps; use the platform's own instructions in that case.
- Worth knowing gives extra conditions, limitations and tips. A requirement may apply only to a particular listing tier or link placement.
A dash means the value is unknown, not zero, free or unrestricted. A checked date tells you when an entry was checked; it does not certify that every field is complete or that the platform will approve your website. Read any qualifications in the tip, then confirm current terms on the platform.
Use DR and visits as context
DR is Ahrefs' Domain Rating, a relative measure of a domain's backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. It is not a Google score or a quality certificate. A domain-level number cannot tell you how useful a particular listing page will be. Ahrefs also advises checking relevance, content and traffic when evaluating a site. See Ahrefs' explanation of DR.
Visits / mo is a recorded estimate of monthly visits to the platform. It is not the number of people who will see your listing, your expected referral traffic or necessarily organic-search traffic. Both DR and visits can be missing or out of date. The directory does not refresh those metrics as you browse.
Use the numbers to help compare otherwise suitable platforms. Check the platform itself for active listings, a relevant audience and a usable submission process before investing time or money.
Send your listing on the platform's own website
The Go to button opens the recorded submission address in a new tab. When no submission address is known, it opens the platform's website. You may need to find its current submission page from there.
Review the platform's rules, sign in if required and complete its form. everybacklink does not send the form, pay a fee or create an account for you. The Suggest a site button in our header is for recommending a platform to this directory; it does not distribute your product to the listed platforms.
Save the confirmation message, submission date and any review reference. If the platform publishes a listing immediately, keep its public URL too. Our materials checklist helps you prepare before opening forms.
Know what the checkmark saves
After sending a submission, click its row's checkbox or Mark as submitted in the detail panel. This changes your local checkmark and the progress counter. Click again to remove the mark. The counter covers the whole directory, including sites hidden by your current filters.
Marks are saved in the current browser's local storage when it is available. They can stay between visits in the same browser profile, and changes are shared between tabs for this site. They do not sync to another browser or device. Clearing site data, using a different profile or ending a private session may remove them. When storage is blocked or full, changes may last only for the current page session.
Clear all removes your marks, including marks outside the current filtered view. An Undo button appears briefly after you clear them. This does not cancel anything you sent to a platform.
A mark means you chose to record a submission. It does not mean the platform approved it, that a backlink is live, or that Google indexed the listing. Keep approval status, listing URLs and follow-up dates in your own notes or spreadsheet.
Try a first pass with a real constraint
Suppose you have launched an AI tool and want to start with unpaid listings:
- Choose AI directory in the category menu and Free or free plan as the quick filter.
- Open a few entries. Check that each accepts your kind of tool and that the free route is still available.
- Read badge requirements in each entry. If you switch to No badge, remember to check the price yourself because the free filter will no longer be active.
- Prepare the materials each suitable platform asks for, then follow its submission link.
- Save the result outside everybacklink, mark the platform as submitted, and return later to check the public listing.
You do not need to complete every entry. Some platforms will be irrelevant or unavailable to you. Leave those unmarked and work through the shortlist that fits your product.
Suggest corrections or work with the data
If a fee, submission address or requirement has changed, use Suggest an edit in that entry. It opens the suggestion form with the platform's URL and name filled in. Include the correct information and a current source the editor can check. Suggestions are reviewed before changes appear.
Use Suggest a site to recommend a missing platform. A platform that accepts website submissions belongs here; submitting your own product as a new entry does not create listings on other websites.
If you want the directory as data, the API documentation links to the public JSON, Markdown and agent files, and explains their fields and license. Those files contain platform information, not your private browser checkmarks.
