Submit your tool to 9Sites.net Web Directory

9Sites.net is a general web directory running since 2006, organized in Yahoo-style categories. You pick a category, fill a short form with title, description and URL, and an editor reviews it; premium listings sit above regular ones.

Is 9Sites.net Web Directory worth it?

A quick, free, followed link with no account and no badge, which makes it a reasonable ten-minute task for any live product. Do not expect visitors: it is an old general directory with listings from plumbers to dating sites, and new entries arrive slowly. Use the free tier, write a clean description in proper case, and pick the most specific category, such as Computers or Internet and Web Services.

Who should submit to 9Sites.net Web Directory?

Suits any finished website or SaaS that wants a basic directory link without signing up or paying. It does not suit makers looking for launch traffic, feedback or a tech audience, affiliate sites, mirror or redirect pages, or sites still under construction, which the rules refuse.

What you need before you submit

  • A finished, live website
  • An English title and description in proper case
  • A fitting category
  • Your name and email
  • No affiliate, mirror, redirect, adult or under-construction sites
