We built the directory
we wanted to buy from.

The Problem We Started With

Most placement directories are built to close a sale, not to inform one. Metrics are quoted from whichever tool flatters the listing. Turnaround is "fast". A price typed in months ago sits on the page as though rates never move. Whether the traffic is real is left for the buyer to work out after the invoice clears.

We spent a long time studying how these directories are built before building ours. The consistent pattern was the same: plenty of listings, very little verifiable information attached to any of them.

What We Do Differently

Three things, and they are the reason the listings look the way they do.

1. We publish both authority scores, not the better one. Every listing prints Moz Domain Authority beside Ahrefs Domain Rating, with where each ranks among the 84 listings and how far apart the two sit. A domain strong on one model and weak on the other is telling you something the higher number alone would hide.
2. We check the traffic figure against the keyword count. A traffic figure on its own gives you nothing to test it with. Ours is Semrush's monthly organic estimate, and every listing that carries it also shows how many keywords the site ranks for, so the one can be judged by the other. The listing works out visits per keyword where it can and sets that against the directory median.
3. We put the evidence up front, and no price. Everything we have verified sits on the listing page rather than behind an enquiry: alongside the scores and the traffic reading, the site's referring domains and backlinks, a table setting its figures against the medians, and the facts we read off the domain itself — registration date, platform, AI-crawler policy. Editorial requirements are settled with the publisher and confirmed to you before you commit. Price is the one figure we withhold on purpose rather than for want of an answer, for the reason given below.

How a Publication Gets Listed

A person opens the site and reads it. We look for a genuine archive rather than a thin one assembled for placements, check that contributed articles already there are indexed and still live, verify the registration date independently, and set each tool figure against another rather than trusting any one alone. The editorial guidelines set out the method.

The checks read off each domain run for every listing in the same pass, so no listing's domain facts are older than its neighbor's.

What We Are Not

We are not a link network and we do not own the publications we list. We take no position on whether a given placement suits your strategy. What we provide is the information needed to decide, presented the same way for every listing so that comparison is actually possible.

Why You Can Rely On What Is Published Here

A directory cannot make itself trustworthy by saying so. It can only be judged on what it publishes and on what it refuses to publish, so here is the whole of it — and every point below is checkable on any listing you open.

• The same sources for every listing, whatever they say. Moz DA and Ahrefs DR both appear on all 84 listings, however far apart they sit, and traffic always comes from Semrush, so no figure is picked from whichever tool flatters the site.
• Every rank and median is counted from the listings. When a listing gives its rank on DA or sets its visits per keyword against the directory median, that rank or median is computed from the 84 listings each time the site is built, and it moves when they do. Sort the directory table on the same measure to check a rank for yourself.
• The facts come off the domain, not off a submission form. Registration date is read from RDAP. Indexed page count and update cadence come from the publisher's own sitemap. AI-crawler policy is read from robots.txt. Platform and declared language are read from the HTML the site serves. None of it is a number a publisher told us — and the vetting checklist shows how to run every one of those reads yourself.
• A fact we could not verify is left out, not approximated. Where a check fails, the field is dropped from the listing entirely — no row, no label, nothing standing in its place. A listing here often shows fewer fields than it might, and every field it does show is a measurement.
• Prices are quoted live and never printed. A rate typed onto a page is wrong the day the publisher moves it, and a stale price is the same failure as a stale metric. Every listing says “Email for today’s price”, and the figure you are given is today's.
• Position in the directory is not for sale. The directory orders by Moz DA and lets you reorder it by DR, traffic, keyword count or domain age; the HTML sitemap lists publishers by name within each subject. There is no promoted tier, no paid position, and no field in the data that a publisher could pay to set.
• Every figure carries the date it was checked. Listings are stamped with the date of the last review — 14 Oct 2026 at present — so the age of a number is visible rather than assumed.

None of that asks you to take our word for anything. Look up a registration date yourself, or count a publisher's sitemap against the indexed figure we print. The reason the method is written down is so that it can be checked.
