Submit your tool to Text Link Directory

A general, human edited web directory online since 2005, with a Computers > Software category. You pick a category, fill a short form with URL, title, description and keywords, and choose free, free with a reciprocal link, or a $5 paid listing.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free (30 to 60 days), or $5 once for 24h review

Is Text Link Directory worth it?

Only worth it as a cheap followed link, not for traffic. Listing links on category pages carry no rel attribute, so they pass link value, and the $5 option gets a permanent spot at the top of the category within 24 hours. The free route can take 30 to 60 days and is not guaranteed. Skip the reciprocal option unless you are happy to link to an old general directory from your homepage.

Who should submit to Text Link Directory?

Suits makers who collect followed links on a budget and do not mind an old general directory. Not for anyone looking for users, feedback or a launch audience: nobody browses this site to find new software, and the Software category mixes SaaS with repair shops and old desktop tools.

What you need before you submit

  • A finished, live site with no redirects and not under construction
  • Title up to 55 characters with the company or site name
  • Description of 150 to 300 characters with no promotional words
  • An email address
  • For the reciprocal option, a link to the directory on your main page

How to submit to Text Link Directory

  1. Open the Software category (Computers > Software) and click Add URL
  2. Fill URL, email, title, description and keywords
  3. Choose free, free with reciprocal link, or Top Websites for $5
  4. Submit and wait for review
