Get a dofollow backlink from the EarlyHunt launch directory

Why this matters

Submit your product to EarlyHunt's launch directory to earn a listing that links to your site.

Before you start

• A live product or tool page with a public URL
• An email address to register an EarlyHunt account

How to apply it

1. Create an EarlyHunt account

   Register on EarlyHunt with a working email address and complete the confirmation step so the submission form becomes available.

   Check: You can sign in and reach your account dashboard without an unverified-email prompt.

2. Open the Launch submission form

   From the main menu, select the Launch option to open the product submission form.

   Check: The Launch page displays fields for product name, description and URL.

3. Add product details and the target URL

   Fill in the product name, a short description and the exact URL you want the link to point at. Prefer a dedicated product or feature page over the homepage when one exists, so the link is topically relevant.

   Check: The URL field contains the full https:// address of the intended page and the form shows no validation error.

4. Submit the tool

   Send the form and wait for the listing to be published, which the source says happens shortly after submission.

   Check: A confirmation message appears and the submission is visible in your account as pending or live.

5. Confirm the live link is dofollow General best practice

   Open the published listing page and inspect the link markup to your domain. A dofollow link has no rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored" attribute. If the link is nofollow, the placement still brings referral traffic but no link equity.

   Check: Fetching the listing page and searching the HTML for your domain returns an anchor tag without rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored".

6. Record the listing for later checks General best practice

   Add the live listing URL to your backlink tracker so you can re-check the link attribute and status during future audits, since directories sometimes change outbound link policies.

   Check: The tracker row contains the listing URL, the target page and a status field marked live and dofollow.
