## 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

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

## Pros

- Followed link with no rel attribute
- $5 one time for a permanent top spot
- No account and no CAPTCHA

## Cons

- Free review takes 30 to 60 days and is not guaranteed
- General directory with little relevant traffic
- Software category mixes unrelated businesses
- Reciprocal option needs a link on your homepage

## Tips

- Use the Software category, since the site says many submissions fail for picking a wrong category
- Keep the description plain: words like best or #1 are not allowed
- Pay the $5 only if you want the link within a day
