Is Smol Spot worth it?
Fine as one more free dofollow link if you already place badges, since free launches need the badge and a DR of at least 1. Daily caps are small (5 free, 10 premium, 3 premium plus), so your product does show on the homepage on its day, but traffic is modest. It belongs to a network of near-identical DirEasy sites, so treat several of them as one audience. Paying $9.90 mainly buys an earlier date.
Who should submit to Smol Spot?
Suits indie makers with a live product who collect launch-site links and are happy to add a badge. Not worth much for makers who want real launch-day traffic, or who will not put a third-party badge on their site.
