215 directories at domain rating 50 and above (2026)
Domain rating is the number everyone sorts directories by and almost nobody measures. The ratings here are read from Ahrefs for each platform's own domain, not copied from the directory's marketing page, so a site claiming "DR 80" that measures 31 is listed at 31. Fifty is where a listing starts to carry weight on its own, and this page is every platform that clears it, ranked from the top.
A high rating is not a free lunch. The top of this list is where the paid tiers, the nofollow links and the month-long review queues cluster, because a domain that took years to build has no reason to hand its authority to a form. So read the chips on each row before deciding: a DR 90 profile whose link is nofollow does something for your visibility and nothing for your rankings, and a DR 55 board that follows its links for free is the better trade for most launches. The free dofollow list is the same directory cut the other way.
Across the 215 platforms on this list, median approval time is 5 days across the 153 that state one, 141 of 215 give dofollow backlinks, 175 are free to submit. Median domain rating: 66.
