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 'Regular links' exist but are gated by a very long review queue: 'we get more than 500 submissions daily, it may take about 6-8 weeks for us to review regular websites links'
  • Paid 'Featured links' at $6.49/year skip the queue (24-48h human review) and stay above regular links on the category's first page

Requirements

  • Required fields: Title (*), URL, Your Name (*), Your Email (*), Category (*)
  • Optional fields: Description (with a stated limit), META Keywords (comma-separated), META Description (with a stated limit)
  • A deep category must be picked from a large topical tree (Arts & Humanities, Business & Economy, Computers & Internet, etc.)
  • No account required to submit (a login/register exists but the form is open)

Prepare before opening the form

  • Site title, URL, description, meta keywords, meta description
  • Submitter name and email
  • The correct deep category path from the tree (the form lists hundreds of subcategories inline)

Workflow

  1. Open https://www.submissionwebdirectory.com/submit.php
  2. Choose between 'Regular links' (free, 6-8 week review) and 'Featured links' ($6.49/yr, 24-48h review, top-of-category placement)
  3. Fill Title, URL, Description, META Keywords, META Description, Your Name, Your Email
  4. Select the deep Category from the inline tree
  5. Submit and wait for human-editor review

Watch for

  • The 6-8 week free queue makes this a slow listing - treat it as a long-tail citation, not a launch channel
  • Old-school phpLD-style form: no draft saving, category tree is enormous - pick the category deliberately
  • Featured fee is framed as paying for editor time ('review fees ... for their time and effort'), not for guaranteed inclusion
  • Also offers a separate 'Submit Article' flow (article directory) - different submission type

What counts as live

The link appears publicly under its chosen category (check 'Latest Links' or the category page) after editor review

Not verified

  • Actual current review turnaround for free links (6-8 weeks is the stated worst case)
  • Whether the listing link is dofollow
  • Payment method for featured links (form renders PayPal-era layout; not verified)
