Free dofollow directories: 199 verified
This is the shortest list in the database on purpose: directories where a basic listing is free (or has a free option) and a live listing we inspected had a followed link. Be careful with the word “free” here. On freemium sites, the followed link sometimes applies to every listing and sometimes only to paid ones, and a few ask for a badge or link back to their site before they follow yours. The price note and link evidence on each directory page say what we saw. Because these sites give away something valuable, many of them review submissions by hand and turn down thin or unfinished products. Make sure your site has a real homepage, a clear description and working sign-up before you submit, and expect some rejections. Check each listing’s link once it’s 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
- Those with human review and a Tranco rank: the most valuable links on this list.
- Those that don’t require a badge or link back.
- The rest, if the audience fits your product.
Questions about this list
Why is this list so much shorter than the free or dofollow lists?
Because both conditions have to be true and verified: a free listing option and a followed link on a live listing we inspected. Many free directories use nofollow, and many dofollow directories charge.
Do free dofollow directories require a backlink?
Some do: they follow your link only if you add their badge or a link to their site. Each directory page says whether a link back is required, where we could confirm it.
Why do some free dofollow directories reject submissions?
Because a followed link is worth something, many review by hand and turn down products that look unfinished, off-topic or spammy. A clear homepage and a working product raise your chances.
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.
