Dofollow directories: 251 with a verified followed link
A dofollow directory is one where the link from your listing to your site is a normal, followed link, so it can pass ranking signals. Every directory on this page earned that label because we opened a live listing and inspected the outbound link; we don’t take the directory’s word for it. That matters, because many directories advertise dofollow links but only give them to paid listings, or switch to nofollow later. A followed link from a relevant, reviewed directory is a small, useful part of a new site’s SEO foundation. It is not a shortcut: Google’s spam policies treat links bought to pass ranking value as link schemes, and a few directory links won’t outrank good content. Use this list to spend your time on directories that can help, then check your own listing’s link once it is live.

DR is Domain Rating by Ahrefs: a 0–100 score of a site’s backlinks, higher is stronger. It isn’t a Google metric. Tranco rank is a research top-sites ranking: lower means more popular. How we check each directory
How to prioritise
- Dofollow directories with human review and a relevant audience.
- Among those, the ones with a Tranco rank, meaning people actually visit.
- Free or freemium before paid, and never pay only for the link.
Questions about this list
How did you check that these directories are dofollow?
We opened a live listing on each site and inspected the outbound link to the listed product. No rel attribute means followed; nofollow, ugc or sponsored means it passes little or no ranking value. The evidence is on each directory’s page.
Will dofollow directory links improve my rankings?
A few links from relevant, reviewed directories help a new site get discovered and build a basic link profile. They won’t replace content people search for, and low-quality directories add little or nothing.
Is it OK to pay for a dofollow listing?
Paying for visibility and audience is normal. Paying specifically for a link that passes ranking value is what Google’s spam policies call a link scheme. If a directory only follows paid links, weigh it on audience alone.
Can a listing’s link change from dofollow to nofollow later?
Yes. A directory can change its link policy at any time, and some make links nofollow after a trial period or only follow paid listings. Every link type on this page was verified on the date shown next to each directory. Check your own listing’s link once it is live, and again a few months later.
