What you actually get
A row in a small curated shelf for developers, designers and makers, which also runs a job board, a freebies section and lifetime deals. They say submissions are posted within 24 hours, which is among the fastest anywhere. The ordinary listing's link is nofollow; the sponsored placements are dofollow and carry the operator's affiliate parameters, which is the difference the sponsorship page is selling.

How to submit to SaaS Surf

  1. Read what they take
    The page asks for a freebie, a product or a lifetime deal aimed at developers, designers, makers or entrepreneurs.
  2. Use the Submit Product control
    The page carries newsletter boxes as well, so use the labelled submit control rather than the first form on the page.
  3. Wait a day
    They state that all submissions are posted within 24 hours.

Gotchas

The ordinary listing is nofollow and the SEO backlink is explicitly a sponsorship feature, so the free row and the paid row are different products.
The page carries two Mailchimp newsletter forms alongside the submission control, so it is easy to subscribe instead of submitting.
The shelf is small and hand-picked around one audience, so a product outside developers, designers and makers is likely to be passed over without a reply.
