These webmaster lists collect the places where you can list or share a website: free and paid web directories, local business directories, social bookmarking, article and classified sites, and more. Every list is on its own page, and every site on it was added and checked by hand.
How the webmaster lists are checked
Bloghints started in 2006 as a hand-checked web directory, and the same habit runs these lists. A site is only added after someone opens it and sees that it works. A link checker then revisits the listed sites on a schedule and flags ones that are dead, moved or parked, and the date under each table shows when its links were last verified. If you want to know what the columns mean, see what makes a good web directory.
How to use them
- Pick the list that matches your goal: local customers, discovery for a new blog, or sharing articles.
- Open a few sites before you submit, and skip any that look neglected.
- Follow our directory submission guidelines so your submissions get approved.
- Treat listings as a source of visitors, not a ranking trick. Google counts low-quality directory and bookmark links as link spam.

Frequently asked questions
How often are the lists updated?
New sites are added after a hand review, and a link checker revisits listed sites regularly. Each list shows the date its links were last verified.
Are the sites on these lists free?
Most lists are free to use. The paid directory list covers directories that charge, and starred rows are featured listings paid for by the site owner.
Will these sites improve my rankings?
Do not count on it. Many listings are nofollow, and Google treats low-quality directory links as spam. Use them for visitors and discovery.
