Is submitting on startup directories a good idea?
https://www.jobtrackable.com/
I am struggling to decide if I should submit https://www.jobtrackable.com/ at startup directories. Is it spam or can I really get traffic and customers from there?
As far as I feel, apart from Product Hunt, nobody ever visits these directories to find a product so it is better to not devote time and effort to these directories. Thoughts?
When I saw your startup firstly, I thought you should look at how Airbnb grew initially. Its team visited sites like Craiglist and then reached out with people who posted offers there.
I guess all depends of your product.
If your product is helping other entrepreneurs (like design plateform, new marketing tool, geek plateform...), it's worth it.
But if it's a game, not sure it helps...
Not all of them are worthless, though. Betalist has brought me a lot of customers.
There is also value in having more backlinks to your project
In researching backlinks for blogging purposes, I learned to be careful with low-quality backlinks. Supposedly, they count AGAINST your search ranking if they come from places like spammy directories or content mills.
Now if there was a directory for good directories... :D
Here you go.

Wow, thanks so much! What a great resource!
You welcome mate.
I personally have colorsandfonts.com on 20 + directories.
The worst directory of all was beta page.
No traffic at all, literally...
