We submit to these too. We haven't confirmed their badge rule yet, so their cards show less.

Domain Rating by Ahrefs

DR — means the rating hasn't been fetched yet. Badge required: the directory wants its badge on your site for the listing. Badge checked on site: it also looks for the badge on your homepage. Your badge wall carries both.

About these directories

How many general web directories give a dofollow link?
We've checked the link type on 33 of the 165. 13 of those linked to products without nofollow when we last looked. Each directory's page says which.
Which general web directories don't ask for a badge?
Of the ones we've checked, 104 list you without one, including SourceForge, G2, AlternativeTo, Siteefy and StartupBlink. Turn on “No badge needed” above to see them all.
Which have the highest Domain Rating?
SourceForge, G2 and GoodFirms, with Ahrefs Domain Ratings of 93, 91, 87.
Are they free?
We only sell directories with a free path, and we decline paid upgrades. 35 of these ask for their badge on your site in exchange, as far as we've checked. Supported badges sit on one badge wall, not scattered across your footer.
What exactly do you do for each directory?
An operator fills in the directory's submission form by hand with your listing, creates an account there when one is needed, and saves a screenshot as proof. We then watch for the listing to appear and check its link: how listing verification works.
