## Is dir.cx worth it?

Useful only as a cheap dofollow link from a general directory. Listing pages checked link to the site with no rel attribute, and extra pages you add also get links. Recent listings are mostly local service businesses, so it brings no software audience. If you use it, fill in the additional pages and choose the Computers category, and treat it as one small link, not a launch.

## Who should submit to dir.cx?

Suits anyone doing low cost link building for a website. It does not suit makers looking for users, feedback or reviews from software buyers, since the directory is mostly local businesses and the traffic it sends is minimal.
