Pastebin
Free route other
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Pastebin is a text/code-paste host, not a product directory — there is no 'submit product' flow
- Guests can create pastes without an account, but guest pastes cannot be edited or deleted later
- Paste exposure choices: Public (listed in the public archive), Unlisted, or Private (members-only folders exist)
- PRO membership exists (Markdown syntax highlighting is PRO-only, among other perks)
Prepare before opening the form
- Text content for the paste (a product description, changelog, or code snippet containing the product URL)
- Decide exposure: Public is the only exposure that surfaces in the public archive
Workflow
- Open pastebin.com — the New Paste form is on the homepage
- Paste content, optionally pick a category, syntax highlighting, expiration, and set Paste Exposure to Public
- Create the paste; note the URL — guests lose all edit/delete control
- Alternatively sign up (email or Facebook/Twitter/Google OAuth) to retain edit/delete and use folders
Watch for
- Guest pastes are permanent and uneditable — never paste anything sensitive
- Public archive spam is heavily abused; links in pastes carry little to no SEO value and may be nofollowed
- Burn-after-read and expiration options can silently kill the listing — pick 'Never' if persistence matters
- Not a real launch destination; only useful as a supporting citation at best
What counts as live
The paste URL resolves publicly and appears in pastebin.com/archive (Public exposure only)
Not verified
- Link attribute (dofollow/nofollow) on paste content
- Whether public pastes remain indexed by search engines at all
