Is ShowMySites worth it?
Cheap and quick, but the link is only followed if you link back or pay $10 once. Most listings checked were nofollow. Pay the $10 if a followed link is the goal and you list several projects, since it covers every listing on the account. Expect little real traffic: the feed is crowded with AI tools and unrelated businesses.
Who should submit to ShowMySites?
Suits indie makers, SaaS and AI tool founders who want a fast, low-cost directory link and do not mind a mixed neighbourhood. It does not suit anyone looking for a curated audience or real user feedback, or makers who will not place a reciprocal link and do not want to pay. The site says 8056 sites are listed.
