What Makes a Product Directory Worth Using?

There are hundreds of directories and most will not send you a single visitor. These five questions sort them in under a minute.

Do the listings get indexed?

Open any product page and search its exact title. If it does not appear in search results, the listing exists only for people who were already there.

A directory that hides every listing behind a login is a mailing list, not a directory.

Is the audience your buyer?

A developer tool listed on a design showcase is noise for everyone. Check the three products posted above yours — if they are nothing like you, the traffic will not convert.

Small and specific beats large and generic every time.

Are the terms reasonable?

Free submissions with an optional paid boost are fine. Demanding a lifetime deal, exclusivity, or a link back as the price of a listing is not.

Also check that you can edit or delete the listing later. You will want to change the screenshots within a month.
