Is Alternative.tools worth submitting to?

  • –The link is dofollow, but the domain's own link profile is thin, so expect a modest authority boost rather than a big one.
  • –Little search traffic of its own; any visitors will come from its community or newsletter, not Google.
  • –Start with the free route; the $19 tier only makes sense if the free queue is too slow for your launch date.
