Before we begin 125+ Instant Approval Directory Submission Sites, please read the below note.
Note: I have removed the list of instant approval directory submission sites. Therefore, you won’t be able to download it. I am removing this list because I have used these directories to create backlinks for my website, which has completely ruined my website’s backlink profile.
Now, I have identified these links with Semrush and disavowed the domains. This is one of the biggest SEO mistakes I have made so far. And I am sharing my Ahrefs backlinks screenshots to help you understand better.
As you can see, it is clear proof of unnatural link-building. And any website having such a backlink profile won’t rank well in search engines.
The article is still active just to create awareness on the topic. It will be removed in the future. You can skip this resource and proceed with guest blogging for backlinks.
Submitting your websites to directories to build backlinks is an old method. Since Google started to penalize websites for building spam backlinks, the idea of directory submission sites got dissolved. Though it is an old technique, it is still relevant today.

Are Directory Submissions Safe for SEO?
Kurtis Bohrnstedlt (Blog writer for Moz.com) did a case study to see if web directory submission is safe for SEO. Later, he published a case study on Moz called Web Directory Submission a Danger!
In his case study, he analyzed 2,678 Directories and found that around 20% of such websites are banned or penalized by Google.
This case study was published in 2012; Google’s algorithm is even more intelligent in identifying such sites. Many sites with fake backlinks can now be identified by Google, and such websites aren’t ranking well.
In conclusion, the case study done by Kurtis in 2012 is correct; directory submissions are a real danger for your site.
