Submitting a Website

How do I submit my website?

What information do I need to submit a listing?

What's the difference between free and Expedite Review submission?

Expedite Review ($39.99 one-time) is reviewed within 2 working days, is shown first in category listings, and is fully refunded if not approved. Free submissions have no guaranteed review time and standard placement. Both are life-time listings with no renewals or recurring charges.

How much does Expedite Review cost?

$39.99, one-time, with no renewals or recurring charges.

Do you accept all website submissions?

No -- sites must meet our Submission Guidelines (working link, original content, correct category, family-friendly, English language) to be approved.

Why was my website rejected?

Common reasons include a broken link, an incorrect category, a duplicate submission already listed under that category, or content that doesn't meet our guidelines (adult, gambling, or primarily affiliate content, for example).

Can I edit my listing after it's approved?

Yes -- email us at support@247webdirectory.com with your listing URL and the changes you need, and we'll update it for you.

Can I remove my listing later?

Yes, email us at support@247webdirectory.com with your listing URL and we'll remove it upon request.

Categories & Search

How do I find websites in a specific category?

Use the category navigation on the homepage, or the search bar to search by category, title, description, or URL.

Can I request a new category be added?

Yes, email your suggestion to support@247webdirectory.com.

How are websites ranked within a category?

Expedite Review (paid) listings are shown first, then all listings are ordered alphabetically by site title.

Does the directory support keyword search?

Yes, the search bar matches against listing titles, descriptions, URLs, and category names.

SEO & Backlinks

Does listing my site help with SEO?

A directory listing can send referral traffic and, for Expedite Review listings, provide a sponsored backlink -- it should be one part of a broader SEO strategy, not the only one.

Are the links dofollow or nofollow?

Free listings use rel="nofollow". Expedite Review listings use rel="sponsored", per Google's guidelines for paid links.

Will listing my site guarantee higher search rankings?

No directory listing alone guarantees rankings -- it's one factor among many in a broader SEO strategy.
