AnyFP Submission Guide: What to Prepare First

AnyFP is a small general directory in the older style: categories, short entries, outbound links. These sites persist longer than launch boards, which is their one advantage.

The short answer

The only question that matters with AnyFP is whether the category page it publishes you into has search visibility of its own. If it does, the listing inherits it; if it does not, you have bought a card.

Before you touch the form

Draw the category tree on paper, three levels deep, with the leaf you want circled. Older directories bury leaves under generic parents, and the form only shows you a dropdown.

Submitting, in order

Map the category tree three levels deep
Pick a leaf category with entries
Write a short factual description
Submit with title and URL
Search the category page later

What AnyFP is

A general web directory with categorised listings and links, accepting submissions through a standard form.

One thing that catches people out

Choose a deep category rather than the top level. General directories have enormous trees, and a listing at the root is invisible while a subcategory page can rank.

Mistakes that waste the submission

Submitting the same URL twice and getting flagged as a duplicate
Writing the description for a crawler instead of a reader
Skipping the screenshot because the form marked it optional
Assuming a listing means a followed link
Forgetting that the category page, not the listing, is what ranks

Checking what you actually got

Confirm the page is live within a week of submitting
Inspect the anchor: direct link or redirect
Note the referring domain’s DR in the same row
Re-check indexation at one month and again at three
Delete dead listings from the count instead of leaving them in

Where SaasHunt fits

Worth pairing with a platform that publishes on a schedule rather than a queue. SaasHunt launches at 08:00 UTC, ranks daily and weekly, and gives every approved listing a dofollow link; tiers start at $0 and run through $9.9, $12.9, $49 and $50 — the pricing page explains what each adds.

Submit your product

Old directories reward patience

Directories built in the previous era of the web have a property newer catalogues lack: they have been indexed for years, their pages are crawled on a schedule, and they rarely disappear. The trade-off is that they are slow and their editorial standards are minimal.

That makes them the closest thing to a permanent citation available for free. Submit, wait, verify once a quarter. Do not expect traffic and do not expect a fast answer.

The three-level category problem

A deep taxonomy exists because the directory was built before search engines were good at understanding topics. The tree is the site's navigation, and being in the right leaf is what puts your listing on a page with a name.

Open the tree in the browser rather than in the form. Follow it to the leaf that contains products like yours, note the exact path, then find that same path in the dropdown. Submitting from the dropdown alone is how products end up under the wrong parent for years.

Writing for a form with four fields

Old directories ask for a title, a URL, a description and a category. There is no room for positioning, which means the title does the work.

Write the title as the product name followed by two or three words of function, in plain language, without punctuation tricks. A title that reads like a search query gets accepted; a title that reads like an advertisement gets edited or dropped.

Why these listings outlive the launch boards

A launch board exists to be current, so its archive is a liability. An old directory exists to hold entries, so its archive is the product. That structural difference explains why a listing from 2019 still resolves while a launch page from last spring is a 404.

If a permanent citation is the goal, this is the cheapest way to get one — provided the category is right and the description is factual.

Verification for a slow catalogue

Set the check for ninety days rather than seven. These directories publish on their own tempo, and opening the listing weekly only teaches you that nothing has happened.

At ninety days, do three things: confirm the page resolves, inspect the anchor, and search the listing URL. Then record the result and move on to the next catalogue in the batch.
