While i appreciate that there are websites where you can list your website, compiling them in a publicly available list is a recipe for spam. Rather than post links to your websites on these websites, you need to share your website with your community. Imagine never using HN and then posting a show HN. You'll probably quickly get your domain banned. When you are part of a website community, it's much easier to unders…

How long does someone need to join the community before it's not a drive by? 3 hours? 3 days? 3 weeks? 3 months? 3 years?

Fun story: I built BetaList 16 years ago which was one of the first "product discovery" platforms. Years before Product Hunt, etc. I manually reviewed every submission and unfortunately often I had to tell founders that their startup didn't qualify to be included. Almost everyone would (understandably!) argue their case, but as volume increased I couldn't afford to go into a deep argument with every single founder. T…

For the ones that don’t have a submit button, what have you found are the best ways to get featured?

I know some are pay to play but curious if there are other methods you’ve found effective.

What’s old is new again. In the 90s we used services like Submit It to get an URL into all the crawlers and indices. Now the search engines aren’t the challenge, it’s the sites targeting specific audiences.

And don't forget StumbleUpon...

At listennotes.com , we have to delete tons of fake podcasts submitted to our site [1] why do people create fake podcasts? they want to get backlinks from all podcast directories podcasts are distributed via rss feed. and spammers/"growth hackers" put tons of links in the rss feed. and podcast hosting services (especially those allow free trials, e.g., rss.com, ) could help them one-click to distribute to a bunch of…

... in general directory sites died because they got taken over by spam.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but backlinks has never been less important for SEO than they are right now. Google has slowly de-prioritized them as a ranking signal over time due to the constant abuse, the death of the blogosphere (the vast majority of websites are now corporate blogspam with few legitimate organic links), and the fact that every major social platform now de-ranks posts with external links in th…

That will soon make these sorts of lists more useful, as their usefulness to spammers/seo optimizers diminishes.
