The directory option is no longer a path on DaniWeb (see 's reply). For anyone who expected a straight directory listing, the practical approach now is to use the community features to earn visibility and measurable referrals. Below are clear, usable tactics that build exposure without spamming.

  • Post a single, well-structured entry in the appropriate forum (for example, a project showcase or website-review thread, as suggested). Structure it: 1) one-line summary, 2) concrete problem your site solves, 3) a short features list, 4) 1–3 screenshots or a short demo, 5) where to download or learn more, 6) an explicit call to action. Keep it helpful, not promotional.
  • Use the member/profile tools (badges/referral widgets and profile fields) to surface your URL where visitors will actually click — place badges on high-traffic pages of your site (About, Footer) and in your profile. Add descriptive alt text and a short contextual line on the page explaining why visitors should click.
  • Track anything you publish. Add simple tracking parameters (UTM) to links used in forum posts or badges so you can measure referrals in your analytics. That tells you whether the effort drives real traffic.
  • Avoid reciprocal-link schemes or mass-posting purely for SEO (a point worth noting given 's link-exchange query). Focus on organic referrals, helpful content, and real community engagement.
  • Follow forum rules and reply to comments: a single good thread that gets interaction stays visible and converts better than repeated low-value posts.

For those wondering about the change (like and ), the best source for official policy or any remaining listing options is the site admin via your profile contact.

The DaniWeb Directory no longer exists.

Was it removed for security reason ?

It was removed in favor of a different type of link exchange ... encouraging members to use your member badges (accessible via your member profile) on your own website. It allows you to track hits and clicks and when members sign up for DaniWeb via your badge, you get added to their profiles as the person who referred them.

you put ur link in show off your project section and write about your software you make? including the link


I targeted some keywords and i wrote something about my blog there and got some indirect traffic
also try website reviews and write about your website this will act like submitting a website to a directory
