I would like to suggest developing a list of web destinations that allow you to publish your white papers for free to generate more B2B leads.

What sites are you aware of besides

Find White Papers
KnowledgeStorm
IT Papers
Web Buyers Guide
TechTarget
Bitpipe
Tradepub

(actually some might not even be free, can anybody point if there is any mistake?)

Nice start, — and good call, . Since a number of mainstream publishers are already listed above, here are practical, non-redundant steps to turn a white paper into measurable B2B leads, plus a few cautions.

Think distribution and control. Place the canonical, full PDF on a landing page you own and publish an SEO-friendly executive summary on your blog or resource center. Syndicate a short 1–2 page summary to industry association resource pages and vertical portals rather than copying the full PDF everywhere. Use professional social channels and document/slide-hosting platforms to surface key findings, and create a 3–5 slide extract or one-page infographic for fast social consumption. Ask complementary vendors or resellers to co-promote for relevant reach. If you budget for it, add targeted PR or paid syndication to amplify reach.

Quick checklist for lead quality and tracking: landing page with a very short form + UTM parameters; keep the full paper behind the form if you want higher-quality contacts; make the PDF searchable (OCR), mobile-friendly, and use descriptive filename/metadata and working links; wire the form to CRM/marketing automation for an immediate confirmation and a multi-step nurture sequence; A/B test form length and CTA; monitor cost-per-lead and conversion rate and prune low-performing outlets. Cautions: check each host’s distribution and data-sharing/privacy rules (GDPR/CCPA), avoid low-quality directories that drive junk leads or duplicate-content problems (keep canonical copy on your site), and verify traffic/authority before committing. If useful, a vetted list of current free vs paid outlets can be compiled.
