Conditional free route directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

What the free route requires

  • Regular free links: reviewed in ~2-3 months, listing NOT guaranteed
  • Regular free links with reciprocal link on your HOME page: usually reviewed in ~2 weeks
  • Featured links $5.79 for 1 year: guaranteed listing in 1-2 days

Requirements

  • Editor reviews submissions manually; site must be 'properly designed' with no pages under construction
  • Required form fields: Title, URL, Your Name, Your Email, Category
  • Optional fields: Description (limit), META keywords (comma-separated), META description (limit)
  • Broad acceptance: 'All sort of business including Web hosting, Hotels and other are welcome'

Prepare before opening the form

  • Title, URL, description, META keywords, META description, name, email
  • Pick the most specific leaf category from the 13 top-level categories
  • For the reciprocal fast lane: place their link on your home page first
  • Decide free vs $5.79/yr featured

Workflow

  1. Open https://www.qualityinternetdirectory.com/submit.php (the catalog's /submit URL 404s; use submit.php)
  2. Fill the link-submission form
  3. Choose regular / reciprocal / featured link type
  4. Submit and wait for manual editorial review

Watch for

  • phpLD-style directory; a large flat category selector - choose a specific subcategory, not [Top]
  • Free review is slow (~2-3 months) and not guaranteed; reciprocal on the HOME page cuts it to ~2 weeks
  • Featured $5.79 is per year, not lifetime
  • The submit page cross-promotes another directory (siteswebdirectory.com) - do not mistake it for part of this site

What counts as live

The site appears under its category page and in 'Latest links' on qualityinternetdirectory.com (detail page like /detail/<slug>-<id>.htm).

Not verified

  • Whether account registration (profile.php register) is required to submit
  • DoFollow status of regular vs featured links
  • Exact character limits on description/META fields
