Professional Submission Services

The submission process is extremely detailed & time-consuming. I can do it for you; see my directory submission service page for details and rates. (When submitting your website to the directories, I use a list that is similar to the following list.)

Directory Categories

Free General Directories (on this page)
Free Niche Directories (on a separate page)
Music & Band Directories / Promotion (on a separate page)

notations in the listings:

(tnas) = site temporarily not accepting submissions; check back soon.
(mc) = you'll be sent a confirmation email with further instructions.
(r) = you must register a free account in order to submit.

If there is a "submit" link to the right of the site's name, you can click "submit" to go right to the site's submission page.

Does submitting to directories work?

Yep! Here's an August 2007 testimonial from someone who used this list:

Denise, I found you by search engine, and glad I did. Because of your site I was able to submit our site to a bunch of free directories....Within 12 hours of work, a bit more gray hair, we now have over 40 new links pointing at our fledgling ministry. I wish to thank you again, and have added your URL link at the bottom of our home page, so that others may realize the value you pose. ~ Travis.

Want help? We can professionally submit your site to the directories for you. (Save your time & hair color!) Learn more about our directory submission service.
