Is ShowMeYourSite worth it?
Worth a few minutes only if you are already collecting small directory listings. The site promises a dofollow link, but 11 of 12 listing pages checked in November 2026 carried rel nofollow on the product link, so do not pay for it for SEO alone. Use the free badge listing, write a clear description, and treat any upvote traffic from the weekly ranking as a bonus. Skip the $9 and $11 plans unless you confirm the link type on your own listing first.
Who should submit to ShowMeYourSite?
Suits indie makers and early SaaS founders who want one more listing among a small community of other makers, most of whom are also promoting directories and side projects. It does not suit anyone looking for buyers, real referral traffic or a reliable dofollow backlink, since the directory is small (the site says 139 launches) and most product links checked were nofollow.
