Internet Promotion for Musicians & Bands

It doesn't have to cost a lot to get the search engines (& listeners!) to notice your new site. We've put together some resources that we've found to be most effective in promoting music-related sites.

free music directory & community submissions

They are free & don't require a link back from your website. (The very few that do are noted.) Check out the lists below.

professional directory submission services

If you don't want to wade through all the links below (it is very time consuming!), I can submit your site for you. Check out my directory submission service page for details, and please email with questions or to get started. I do this for a living and can maximize your chances for success.

Please note: Some of these sites are restricted to only a certain genre of music. Also, (tnas) = temporarily not accepting submissions.
