What you actually get
A row in one of sixteen top-level categories, with the outbound link carrying no rel attribute at all. The $49 tier is sold as up to four deep links rather than one, which is unusual, and the domain has been running since 2003. What it is not is a launch audience: this is an old-style web directory read by almost nobody, so the link is the entire product.

How to submit to 01Webdirectory

  1. Pick the category first
    Their guide tells you to browse the directory and identify the single best category before submitting, and the Submit URL link sits inside that category rather than at the top level.
  2. Open the submission page
    Submit URL runs a JavaScript call rather than following an href, and lands on frmPreContentSubmit.aspx. There is no direct URL to guess.
  3. Choose which thing you are buying
    The page offers a $49 featured listing, a free or $19 guest post, a $69 written post and a $99 listing plus article. Nothing there is a plain free directory listing.

Gotchas

Nothing here lists a site for nothing. The route with no fee on it is a guest post of at least 500 words for their blog, which is not a directory listing.
The Submit URL control is a JavaScript call with no href, so the submission page cannot be reached by typing a URL and a crawler will not find it.
The footer still reads 2003 to 2025, and nothing on the site has a date newer than that, which is worth checking before a $49 one-time fee.
