The rule this site runs on
What “maker-proven” means

- 03The result goes on the board
- 04Every maker sees it
What ShipDR actually ships
Know where to submit before you spend a minute
452 directories audited by hand and ranked by what makers really earned there: dofollow or nofollow on the free and the paid lane, real prices paid. Work the free queues first; a few at a time is plenty.
Tracked from day one, verified every day after
Add your website and its homepage is read on the spot: the badge listings it already carries get tracked and verified from minute one. After that, every listing page is fetched and read for itself: backlink there, rel value, indexable. Hot backlinks every 6 hours, any one on demand.
When something changes, you know that day
Dropped backlinks, nofollow flips, submissions that never go live: each lands in your activity on the next check, not weeks later by accident. Your homepage badges are read too, so a swap that stopped earning gets taken down instead of forgotten.
What your DR did, and what you did
DR history from daily readings next to a calendar of your own moves: what happened, never a projection. And every listing you verify sharpens the directory data for the next maker.
Domain Rating tracking. Add as many websites as you like; each one’s Ahrefs DR is pulled daily and charted from the day you add it.
The backlink engine, per website. Submit to any of the directories, then every listing is checked: is the backlink there, is it dofollow, can Google index it, and is it still there tomorrow.

Fair questions
Do directory backlinks still work for SEO?
Some do, most do not. Google devalues backlinks from junk directories rather than penalizing them, so a bad directory simply wastes your time and money. Backlinks from real, maintained directories still pass value and send referral traffic. That is why every directory here is audited by hand and ranked by maker-proven results, not promises.
How does ShipDR verify a backlink?
It fetches the listing page itself and reads it: is your backlink there, what rel it carries, and whether the page lets Google index it. JS-rendered pages go through a real browser. Checks follow the risk: a submission still waiting to go live is read every 6 hours, and any backlink rechecks on demand.
What does maker-proven mean?
Makers record real submissions of their own products, the checker fetches the listing page and verifies the backlink, and every result feeds that directory’s stats. Directories cannot pay to be listed or ranked.
How much does it cost?
Adding a website is free: ShipDR charts its Ahrefs Domain Rating daily, no card. The backlink engine is $10, once, per website. No subscription. One seat unlocks every directory and tracks one site’s backlinks for as long as it lives.
Can I see the data before paying?
Yes. Browse the directories and a sample dashboard without an account: three directories show in full, maker-proven data included, and the real total is stated honestly.
