# Submit your tool to Promote Project

> Promote Project is a Madrid-based site that mixes user-submitted articles with a startup directory, forum and job board. Signed-in users submit a startup page with a link to their site; the submit form is behind a login.

## Is Promote Project worth it?

Low effort and free, but limited value. The startup page link had no rel attribute in the November 2026 check, so it is technically dofollow, yet every startup page sampled carried a noindex robots tag, which means search engines are told not to index the page holding the link. The site is crowded with agency and marketing posts. Submit only if you are already working through a long list of free directories.

## Who should submit to Promote Project?

Suits founders doing a bulk round of free directory submissions who have a few spare minutes. It does not suit anyone looking for real users, a targeted audience, or a link from an indexed page.

## What you need before you submit

- An account, by Google or email and password
- A live product URL
- No sexual, violent, defamatory or illegal content
- No duplicate submissions

## How to submit

1. Register or log in
2. Open Submit startup
3. Fill in the startup details: website, name, descriptions, category and tags
4. Submit; the page goes up under /startup/

## Pros

- Free
- Outbound link has no rel attribute
- Also lets you post articles and job listings

## Cons

- Startup pages are marked noindex
- Full of SEO and agency content
- Little visible engagement on listings
- Submit form cannot be seen without an account

## Tips

- Write a plain, specific description rather than a sales pitch
- Pick the closest category so the page appears in the right list
- Do not expect traffic; treat it as a minor citation
