9Sites Web Directory
Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Editorial rules: English only, proper case (no ALL-CAPS or all-lower), good grammar — sloppy copy delays or kills approval
- No affiliate-only sites, mirror sites, porn, under-construction sites, or redirect URLs — submit the direct link
- Homepage and inner pages both accepted if put in an appropriate category
- Category choice from a deep DMOZ-style tree (Business, Computers, Shopping, Sports, etc.)
- All form fields required; approval is by a human editor
Prepare before opening the form
- Site URL (direct, no redirects)
- Title ≤70 chars in proper case
- Description ≤250 chars in proper-sentence English
- The right category/subcategory
- Name and email (used for editor correspondence)
Workflow
- Open https://www.9sites.net/addurl.php and read the rules
- Pick 'Regular Links (free)' or Premium $15.95
- Choose the most specific fitting category
- Fill URL, title, description, name, email and submit for editorial review
Watch for
- Legacy directory value — this is a 2006-era general web directory; SEO benefit is modest
- Free regular links sit below premium ones; premium is a one-time $15.95 and permanent
- Strict formatting rules (proper case, grammar) — most rejections come from slapdash copy
- Refund policy only covers declined links — no refund once listed
- Site is HTTPS and functional but dated; approval timing is unknown
What counts as live
The site appears as a link entry in the chosen category on 9sites.net
Not verified
- Editorial turnaround and whether free submissions still get reviewed promptly
- Link type on regular vs premium listings
- Whether the directory still receives submissions actively
