Do SEO and grow your ranking

Pick your activity

Start from the category that matches your goal — off-page SEO, directory submission, forum posting, classifieds, or image and social bookmarking submission.

Open the matching list

Each category opens into a specific list, such as 300+ high PR video submission sites, 1800+ top directory submission sites, or a dofollow forum posting site list.

Search engine optimisation is the long game of making a website legible to the systems that decide who appears first. This resource exists for people who want practical instruction rather than vague encouragement: how to structure a page, how to write headings that carry meaning, how to earn links, and how to read the signals a search engine sends back. The tone throughout is instructional and direct, because useful SEO guidance should be easy to apply the same afternoon you read it.

A large part of growing a ranking happens off your own site. Submitting content to directories, forums, classifieds, document sharing platforms, video and article networks, RSS feeds, ping services and question-and-answer sites spreads your work across the wider web. Each of these channels is catalogued here in organised collections, so you can find a suitable place to publish or submit without hunting through scattered lists and outdated recommendation threads.

Submission still matters, but how you submit matters just as much. Consistent titles, meaningful descriptions, relevant categories, a working preview and a single canonical address all reduce the friction between your content and the platform hosting it. Read the guidelines of each site before you post, remove duplicate material, and keep the surrounding context natural. The archive groups platforms by type precisely so that you can pick the right format instead of forcing a video into a classifieds form.

Backlinks remain the clearest signal third-party sites can send about the value of your pages. Earning them is rarely glamorous: it involves writing something worth citing, publishing on a site with a real readership, and being referenced by people who already trust that source. Commenting on blogs, participating in forums and contributing to article networks all contribute to this picture, provided the participation is genuinely useful rather than automated and repetitive.

Technical foundations are unglamorous and decisive. Clean, crawlable pages, descriptive titles, sensible heading order, compressed images, readable text on a dark background, and a tidy mobile layout all affect how a site is indexed and how a visitor experiences it. Speed in particular has become a baseline expectation, so keeping a lean theme and avoiding heavy scripts is a ranking habit as much as a courtesy to readers arriving on slower connections.

Content archives give a site a shape that search engines can follow. When posts are grouped by theme, dated clearly, and linked to one another, a reader can move deeper into the material instead of bouncing back to the results page. Internal linking, tagged categories and a visible archive work together here, and the same discipline applies to the submission lists in this resource, which are arranged so that related platforms sit near one another.

Social sharing and bookmarking tools extend the reach of anything you publish, but they work best alongside a real audience. Sharing a fresh article to a network where people already discuss the topic produces discussion, not just a counter. Similarly, video platforms and image-heavy posts need their own metadata, thumbnail and description written with the same care as a written article, since those fields are frequently the only context a search engine has to work with.

Measuring progress requires patience and a simple routine. Track which pages are indexed, which queries bring visitors, which submission channels refer traffic, and which pieces of content keep earning links over time. Update older posts rather than abandoning them, prune what performs poorly, and keep publishing steadily enough that the archive keeps growing. Ranking rewards consistency far more reliably than it rewards occasional bursts of extraordinary effort.

Everything published here is aimed at one outcome: helping you understand how ranking actually works on the platforms you use every day. Whether you are a blogger, a freelancer selling services, or a business owner hoping to be found locally, the same fundamentals apply — write clearly, submit thoughtfully, build genuine references, and keep the technical side tidy. Treat the collections as a starting point, then test, observe and refine.

Work through it

Use the entries as a working sheet. Note the publication date on every list, since many of these collections were compiled in 2017 and 2018.
