Limits
- The list's facts (price, link type, rules) are what its maintainer recorded. The live check confirms the page and shows the prices it lists today; it does not submit anything or confirm the link type on a live listing.
- Many places in the list have price and link type unknown. Free only and dofollow only keep only the places marked so.
- The fit score is word matching, not a judgment of quality. Read the rules column before you submit.
- The newest date on the page is the newest date the page prints, which is a sign of activity, not proof of it.
- Subreddits are not checked live.
