A Windows software download site founded in 2001 that lists only programs its editors have researched, scanned and tested, with how-to guides and a forum alongside. Listings show the author, size, licence type and supported Windows versions, and most descriptions are written by the site rather than the developer. File and content submissions go to an email address on the About page.

How to submit to MajorGeeks
Open the MajorGeeks submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse MajorGeeks (Windows users looking for tested freeware, shareware and utilities, plus readers of its how-to guides), not for search engines.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for MajorGeeks
- Email file and content submissions to the mgnews address on the About/Contact page. The team says it is a small operation with many inquiries and that this address is the way to get a prompt reply.
- Expect a test rather than a form: the editors check the software and company reputation, scan with VirusTotal, then run the program in a virtual machine. They want it to do what it promises, to be fairly priced if shareware, and to deserve four stars or more.
- Most descriptions are the site’s own, so send plain facts (what it does, licence, Windows versions, size) rather than marketing copy.
From MajorGeeks’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for general web directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Consistent business name, URL and contact details (use them the same way everywhere)
- The most specific category the directory offers
- A plain description with no keyword stuffing
- A business address or country, if the form asks
Is MajorGeeks worth it?
Good for discovery, not link equity
Links from MajorGeeks listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 77 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
