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
- Free submission enters a first-in-first-out content-review queue: 'could take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of weeks'
- Email verification is required - 'Links won't show until verified by email you are sent and approved by SoMuch.com'
- Right after submitting you are offered a paid upgrade 'for quicker approval or better placement'
Requirements
- Fields: domain/URL, site title/name, email address, Topic + Category (two-level picker), description (max 255 characters)
- No account required
- Description cap is tight: 255 characters max
Prepare before opening the form
- Domain/URL, site title, and a <=255-character description
- Email address you can access for the verification message
- The right Topic -> Category pair from their picker (Business, Web Site Development, Internet, Computing, etc.)
Workflow
- Open https://somuch.com/submit-links/submit-link
- Enter domain/URL, site title, email, pick Topic then Category, and write a <=255-char description
- Click 'Submit Link'
- On the post-submit screen, either accept the paid upgrade for quicker approval/placement or continue free
- Click the verification link in the confirmation email - the link won't appear until verified AND approved
- A 'Delete your Link' page exists at /link-delete.asp for removal
Watch for
- Two approval layers: email verification AND SoMuch.com approval - the email alone is not enough
- Post-submit upsell for faster approval/placement - decline cleanly if staying free
- Queue time is indeterminate (hours to weeks)
- A Rakuten 'ebates' cashback promo is embedded on the page - ignore it
What counts as live
The link is publicly visible in its chosen Topic/Category listing on somuch.com after email verification and approval
Not verified
- What the paid upgrade costs (offered only after submission)
- Whether the listing link is dofollow
- Rejection criteria beyond the FIFO review
