## Is thistools worth it?

A poor trade for SEO. The site asks for a dofollow backlink from you, keeps checking it and may delist you if it disappears, yet the link from your listing back to your site carries rel=nofollow. With one free slot a day the wait can be long. Submit only if you want one more listing in an AI tools directory and are fine giving a permanent dofollow link in return.

## Who should submit to thistools?

Suits makers of AI, productivity and developer tools who want another directory listing and do not mind keeping a badge on their site. It does not suit anyone building backlinks, since the listing link is nofollow, or anyone who cannot or will not keep a badge on their homepage.
