Get Your Website Featured on MakeUseOf

MakeUseOf is generating over 12.5 million pageviews per month (not including mobile readers, RSS subscriptions and newsletter subscribers). It’s a top 100 blog according to Technorati in multiple categories and of the most popular software review sites on the Internet. So, if you’re looking at getting the word out about your website and get exposure you came to the right place.

How To Submit Your Website

At the moment there are about 50+ submissions per day but we are only able to profile somewhere between 4-6 services. So as you can see there are lots of applications left uncovered, hopefully we can accommodate more requests in the future but for the time being we are able to address about 10% of requests.
There are 2 different ways to submit your website to MakeUseOf Directory. Please note, we only accept software apps and web/mobile applications. We also don’t accept any adult, gambling or dating services.

    Basic Submission (FREE !)

    Simply tell us about your service by sending an email to submit[at]makeuseof[dot]com. All you need to do is send us the link and 1-2 lines about what your product/service does. This won’t cost you anything but due to a growing number of daily submissions we can’t guarantee the inclusion either. Apart from the websites we discover on our own we receive 50+ requests daily but can only publish at most 5-6 of them.

    FastTrack Submission ($ 194)

    We also offer risk-free FastTrack inclusion. That’s the fastest way to get featured. This money won’t guarantee your inclusion but simply our fee for reviewing your inclusion request within 48 hours. To get featured it will still have to pass our usual inclusion requirements. All you need to do is send us the link and transfer $ 194 (via PayPal) to paypal@makeuseof.com. If for some reason we decide not to feature your application, your funds will be refunded. Quick and easy. Use the ‘Buy Now’ button below to send FastTrack submission of your website.

Benefits Of Being Featured in MakeUseOf Directory

    Get Your Website Listed in Several Categories Once your application is in MakeUseOf Directory, depending on the assigned category and tags, it will be accessible from at least 3-4 locations. Since we sort applications chronologically it may remain among top category/listings for several weeks driving continuous traffic to your website. Get It In Front Of ALL MakeUseOf Readers Your application will be viewed by tens of thousands MakeUseOf Directory subscribers within 24 hours. You can see latest directory subscriber count below. Within a week after inclusion we will feature your website on MakeUseOf.com homepage in our most popular daily post series ‘Cool Websites and Tools‘. This means your application will be viewed by ALL MakeUseOf subscribers (see count below). It’s a lot of targeted traffic and can often result in your site being featured on del.icio.us popular section, StumbleUpon and in some cases even on Digg homepage. Every ‘Cool Websites and Tools’ posts lists 5 apps (see image below) and stays on the top of the front page for about 24 hours.

Testimonials

Check out some of the testimonials we have received from webmasters after their website was featured on MakeUseOf.com.
Slava from BookletCreator.com

I’m grateful to MakeUseOf.com because it was one of the first to mention my website and the one that helped me to get publicity online. Thanks to MakeUseOf.com’s review I got a great number of visitors. Moreover, it caused a chain reaction of blog posts and articles about my website and visitors started coming like an avalanche!

Alex from Keybr.com

My site was mentioned on lifehacker, then it got to digg top stories, but it was makeuseof.com(!) who reviewed me first and ignited this chain reaction. It caused a snowball of links and visitors coming from all over the world. The sudden success I couldn’t achieve on my own. Don’t miss this opportunity, submit your site for review, absolutely worth it.

Sean Varah from FixMyMovie.com

Thanks again for the great article about FixMyMovie. Since you wrote about us in February, we’ve received more than 400 visitors directly from your article, and hundreds more from other sites which have cited your article. Not only do we appreciate the traffic, but more importantly, we appreciate the quality of your readers, who have come to the site, used it, and given us their feedback. All of this helps us make a better product. Thanks again

Paul Klipp from PicoWiki.com

Thank you very much for blogging about my PicoWiki project. I got hundreds of new subscribers on the day you posted your blog entry, four donations, and several good suggestions for improvement.

Brian Sobel from Mapalist.com

You guys made yesterday one of the most rewarding I’ve had in the history of Mapalist.com. Your review, which I find to be extremely helpful, accurate and well written, so perfectly and succinctly covers the parts of Mapalist which I/we hoped to be useful and fun.
Your review kicked off a firestorm of new users and activity that was beyond what we could have expected or wished for. :) (The usage spike did keep us on our toes in putting out a few fires, but that is the good kind of problems to have.)
I enjoyed watching the unique spread of information about the site across digg, delicious, lifehacker, and good morning silicon valley, to name a few. I should be so lucky with any future endeavors I partake in to get such favorable coverage.

Waleed Bississo from MySurfPad.com

The best thing we did was have MySurfPad.com listed on the MakeUseOf directory. Not only did it drive a significant amount of traffic but it was also picked up by multiple news sites as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

Eric Kudler from Fauxsaics.com

I just wanted to say thank you for including me on your website. After being featured on your blog I actually got so many viewers the website broke down! It also got me featured on several blogs in Italy(strangely enough) and I got a surge of popularity that lasted almost 2 weeks. I really do appreciate your help, before you featured me I couldn’t drive any traffic, but now I still get a solid group of daily visitors residual from the flood of visitors. Anyway, I just wanted to show my gratitude so thank you!
