## Is Smol Rank worth it?

Worth it as a cheap backlink, not as a source of users. The free lane gives a dofollow link once their badge is verified on your site, and $9.90 buys the same link without the badge and with an earlier date. Treat it as one of a family of DirEasy launch sites with shared audiences: submit with the same assets, keep the badge live, and do not expect meaningful traffic or sales from the launch day.

## Who should submit to Smol Rank?

Suits indie makers of small indie products and side projects who want an inexpensive dofollow link and do not mind adding a badge. The pricing page says top 5 weekly projects go in the newsletter and the daily winner is shared on X, where the site says it has 2.9w followers. It does not suit teams looking for buyers or reviews from a distinct audience, products on a fresh domain below the DR threshold, or anyone who will not place a third-party badge on their site.

## What you need before you submit

- Account via Google, GitHub or email
- Live public URL
- Square logo and a landscape product image
- Short description, up to 3 categories, tech stack tags
- Their badge live on your site for the free lane
- Domain Rating of at least 1 for the free lane

## How to submit

1. Sign in and set your display name, since it is shown as the maker
2. Fill in name, URL, description, logo and product image
3. Pick categories, tags, platforms and pricing model
4. Choose Free Launch, add the badge snippet to your site and press Verify Backlink, or pick a paid plan
5. Pick a launch date and wait for review
6. Share the launch at 8:00 AM UTC to collect upvotes

## Pros

- Free lane gives a dofollow link once the badge is verified
- Paid launch from $9.90 skips the badge and the free queue
- Small daily cap, so a launch shows on the homepage for its day
- Form has an AI autofill that drafts fields from your URL

## Cons

- Free listing requires a live badge linking back to the site
- Free queue can take up to 30 days
- One of many near-identical DirEasy sites run by the same operator, so audiences overlap heavily
- Pages push link packages and DR boosting offers, which says more about the audience than about buyers

## Tips

- Put the badge on a page that stays live, such as the footer, since the link depends on it
- If you use several DirEasy sites, one badge block can hold all of them, but expect overlapping audiences
- Pay $9.90 only if the date matters; the free lane gives the same dofollow link
- Schedule far ahead to secure a free slot on a quiet day
- Skip the SEO Growth Package unless a paid review article is something you want; it is non-refundable per the FAQ
