What’s old is new again. In the 90s we used services like Submit It to get an URL into all the crawlers and indices. Now the search engines aren’t the challenge, it’s the sites targeting specific audiences.

> earn quality backlinks Well, at least its honest. For many (most?) of the listed sites, drive-by submitting a link just for the SEO juice would be considered rude.

If you’re building open-source, I have a directory you can also submit your product on: opensource.builders

Does it list itself?

Hmm, the top item on the page is Medium, and underneath the description begins with "High-authority publishing platform". That is... not the popular assessment of Medium these days. At one point, Medium and the other minimalist one whose name I can't remember (edit: it was Svbtle) were seen as high-prestige and high-signal platforms. Nowadays Medium is just AI slop and low-effort surface-level takes from people trying to build a personal brand.

brings me back, man I remember sitting there submitting my geocities website to every search engine and website that would accept it under the sun good times

boosting DR rating is the biggest psyop of indie hackers: it's temporal and has zero effect on anything. All my websites are 3 to 6 DR points. https://mdview.io has 5 DR and brings in 500 uniq users per day organically

I'd really like a website that submits your website to websites that lists websites that lists websites to submit your website to.

Since search engines are going to be replaced by AI, is there now potential for old school hand curated web directories like we had in the late 1900s to surface again? Lists of websites hand curated by categories and topics, and even certified to have AI free content, could be cool.

Here's a much larger list (1,057 sites): https://pastes.io/rcPg2RLC

While i appreciate that there are websites where you can list your website, compiling them in a publicly available list is a recipe for spam. Rather than post links to your websites on these websites, you need to share your website with your community. Imagine never using HN and then posting a show HN. You'll probably quickly get your domain banned. When you are part of a website community, it's much easier to understand what kind of things you should post, as opposed to just drive-by posting everywhere. The audience for these listings are people trying to take shortcuts.

At-least implement the submission form instead of redirecting to email the submission, lol!
