## Is Ash List worth it?

Worth a few minutes if you are fine putting a badge on your site. Most listing pages checked carry a followed Visit link, but several of the newest ones, and a few older ones, had nofollow added, and the site does not explain when or why. It shares its catalogue and layout with saasroots.com, so expect the same products and little extra reach from doing both. Treat it as a small backlink and a category page, not a source of launch traffic.

## Who should submit to Ash List?

Suits SaaS, AI and indie makers who collect directory listings and accept a reciprocal badge. Less useful for anyone who cannot or will not add a badge to their site, since the form does not open without it, and for products that need an audience of buyers rather than other makers: most visible listings are small indie tools.
