Which directories should I submit to first?
Start with the free launch boards that fit your audience, then the communities you already take part in. Paid listings are worth it only once you know which free ones send you visitors.
What do the dofollow and nofollow tags mean?
A dofollow link passes search credit to your site; a nofollow link still sends visitors but asks search engines not to count it. Where we have not checked a site, it has no tag.
Are these sites paid to be on this list?
No. The list is ours and nobody pays to be on it. Every link opens the site itself, and prices and rules can change, so check each site before you submit.
