Every Listing We Read Is Nofollow. The Dofollow Is a $79 Add-On.
Written by Submitator. HuntScreens is one of the boards we file customers to, and it also sells a $79 backlink that is our price for a hundred listings, which this page says out loud rather than leaving you to notice. Numbers are measured from their live listings; the footnote says exactly what was read.
HuntScreens is a product directory rated 36 by Ahrefs, with 23,638 product pages in its English sitemap and separate sitemaps for nine other languages. Joining the queue is free, with a stated ~30 day review and 2,509 products waiting; a $10 VIP Pass cuts that to 24 hours.
On the link question the answer is unusually clean. We read 80 product pages and every one of them carries rel="nofollow" on both the product title and the Visit Website button. Eighty of eighty, with a ?ref=huntscreens.com parameter on every href.
And to their credit, this is not a discovery. They explain it themselves, on the submission page, in a box headed Dofollow vs Nofollow.
"Only dofollow links pass SEO authority ("link juice") to your site. Nofollow links don't directly help your rankings. Our paid backlink add-on gives you a permanent dofollow link." That is a more honest description of a freemium link model than most boards manage, and it saves everybody an argument. The free listing is a shop window. The link equity is a product, and it has a price.

Per huntscreens.com, its /submit and /advertise pages, robots.txt and sitemaps, all read on 17 September 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker, which returned 36 for huntscreens.com and 36 for www.huntscreens.com; their own add-on copy describes the site as "DR 50+", rendered from a configured value, and we make no claim about when or whether that figure was accurate, only what the checker returns today. Domain Rating moves between crawls and a pricing string can outlive the number it quotes, so this is flagged as a figure to re-check rather than as an accusation. Their sitemap index lists eleven child sitemaps, one for pages and ten for languages; the English one holds 23,638 URLs, all under /products/. The link finding is a sample, not a full census: 80 English product pages, made up of the first 8 and last 8 URLs in sitemap order plus a seeded random sample of 64, each fetched successfully. On all 80 the product's own anchor was located by its title attribute and by the page's h1 link, and both carry rel="nofollow" with a ?ref=huntscreens.com parameter on the href; no page in the sample is noindexed, and the sidebar advertisement links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener", which is correctly marked. The sample was drawn from the English catalogue only and says nothing about the nine other language versions. Prices, tier names, queue figures and every quoted sentence are taken from their submission flow and /advertise: "Zero cost - join the line", "~30 days review", "2509 in queue", "Skip the line - go live in 24 hours", "31 products went live today", "Get a permanent do-follow backlink from our high-authority site (DR 50+). Pay once, boost your Google & Bing rankings forever", and the refund wording "I understand that if my product is rejected during review, I will receive a full refund. Once my product is published, no refunds will be available." The queue depth and the products-live-today counter are live figures that will have changed by the time you read this. Their robots.txt names GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot with Allow: / for each, and disallows only /badge-embed/, /search/ and /promote/ together with their language-prefixed variants. Their claim of 300K monthly visitors is their own and we did not verify it. Nothing was submitted and no add-on was purchased, so what the $79 add-on produces in practice, their review standards and their turnaround are outside what we can report beyond their published wording; they state 24-hour review on the paid route, while Submitator's terms state an aim of 2 to 3 days and a committed ETA of 30 days from purchase, so this page makes no speed comparison in either direction. Submitator files customers to HuntScreens on the free route, which is why its catalog card carries a no-equity mark. Our plans are $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time, chosen by you with each Domain Rating shown and no-equity marked where it applies, badges installed and kept live, rejections credited back as +1 directory and a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
The number the $79 rests on
The add-on is described in one sentence and that sentence carries a figure: "Get a permanent do-follow backlink from our high-authority site (DR 50+). Pay once, boost your Google & Bing rankings forever." The whole price rests on DR 50+, because that is the only thing distinguishing this link from any other.
Ahrefs returns 36 for huntscreens.com today, on the apex and on the www host. We are not calling that dishonest and we would not, because Domain Rating moves and a marketing string outlives the number it quotes on a great many sites. What we would say is narrower: it is a figure to check rather than accept, and the gap is fourteen points on the one claim you are buying.
The check takes a few seconds and you can run it on anybody, including us. Put huntscreens.com into our Domain Rating checker, then put in submitator.com, then put in the last site that sold you a link. It is the same Ahrefs figure every time, which is the point of publishing it.
$79 there, $79 here
We have to say this plainly because the coincidence is exact. Their $79 buys one permanent dofollow link from one domain. Our $79 buys 100 directory listings, chosen by you from a catalog of more than 120, with each one's Domain Rating printed on the card and a no-equity mark where the link does not pass anything.
That is not an argument that their add-on is bad value; one link from one place can be worth $79 if the place is right, and only you know your profile. It is an argument that the comparison should be made deliberately rather than by accident at step two of a checkout, with both numbers in front of you.
The other honest half: the two products are not substitutes. Theirs is a single strong link on a site you already wanted to be on. Ours is coverage. If the answer is that you want both, the order that makes sense is coverage first, because it is cheaper per listing and it tells you which individual links are worth paying for afterwards.
Why the free listing is still worth filing
Nothing above is a reason to skip the submission, and we file customers here on the free route. Twenty-three thousand product pages in ten languages is a large, permanent catalogue, the listing does not expire, and their own submission page claims 300K monthly visitors, which is their figure rather than one we can check.
Judge it as a shop window and the value is real: discovery, a page that ranks for your product name, and referral traffic. Judge it as a backlink and you will be disappointed, which is exactly what their own Dofollow vs Nofollow box is trying to prevent. That is a rare thing on a submission page and it deserves saying.
Our catalog card for HuntScreens therefore prints its Domain Rating and a no-equity mark, because that is what eighty of eighty listings measured. You tick it knowing what it is.
Everything is allowed to read it
Their robots.txt is worth a paragraph for going the other way from the trend. Where several boards in this catalog now refuse GPTBot while inviting search crawlers, HuntScreens names GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot and gives every one of them Allow: /.
Only the badge embed, the search pages and the promote route are closed. For a submitter that is a small plus: a listing here is eligible to be read, cited and trained on by everything, which is worth having on a page that carries your product name and description even when the link itself passes nothing.
HuntScreens review: the short answer

How to submit to HuntScreens, step by step
- 1
Decide the speed question first, and separately
Step one asks how fast you want to go live: $0 with a stated ~30 day review and 2,509 products in the queue, or $10 for 24 hours. This is the only decision on the page about getting listed at all. Everything after it is advertising, and keeping the two apart is the single most useful thing you can do inside this checkout.
- 2
Read the add-on against your own numbers, not the badge on the card
The $79 Permanent SEO Backlink is sold on a DR 50+ claim and Ahrefs reads 36. Run the domain through a checker while the page is still open. If you would pay $79 for one permanent dofollow link from a DR 36 directory, buy it with your eyes open; if the 50+ was what sold it, you now know to ask.
- 3
Treat the bundles as ad spend, not as submission cost
Launch Pack at $99 and Growth Pack at $159 wrap the backlink and a sidebar ad into the base fee, showing $19 and $29 off. The discounts are real arithmetic against the listed parts. What they are not is a cheaper way to get listed, because getting listed is $0, and a bundle only saves money if you already wanted both components.
- 4
Paste the canonical URL, because it is the whole submission
Step three is a single field for your product URL. Everything on the listing, including what their page calls an AI-crafted introduction, is built from what is at the other end of it. Send the canonical homepage with no tracking parameters, and fix the title and first paragraph of that page before you submit rather than after.
- 5
Read the refund checkbox, because it is not the usual one
You have to tick: "if my product is rejected during review, I will receive a full refund. Once my product is published, no refunds will be available." That is clear and fair, and it means the money is committed the moment the listing appears. Decide about the $79 before you tick it, not after you see the live page.
- 6
Check your listing when it goes live
Open the page and look at the Visit Website button. On all eighty listings we read it carried rel="nofollow" and a ?ref=huntscreens.com parameter, so that is what to expect on the free route. If you paid for the add-on, this is the page where you confirm you got what you paid for.
Their $79 is one link. Our $79 is a hundred listings you pick.
One payment, every directory named in your dashboard with its Domain Rating on the card, a no-equity mark where the link cannot be crawled, badges installed and kept live where one is wanted, and a rejection credited back as another directory.

FAQ
Is a HuntScreens link dofollow?
Not by default. We read 80 English product pages and every single one carries rel="nofollow" on both the product title and the Visit Website button, with a ?ref=huntscreens.com parameter on the href. That is 80 of 80. HuntScreens says so itself on the submission page: “Only dofollow links pass SEO authority ("link juice") to your site. Nofollow links don't directly help your rankings. Our paid backlink add-on gives you a permanent dofollow link.”
How much does a dofollow link from HuntScreens cost?
$79.00, one-time, as an optional add-on called Permanent SEO Backlink. Their description reads “Get a permanent do-follow backlink from our high-authority site (DR 50+). Pay once, boost your Google & Bing rankings forever.” It is the same $79 that buys 100 directory listings from Submitator, so it is worth being certain about the number attached to it before you decide.
Is HuntScreens really DR 50+?
Not on 17 September 2026. Their add-on is sold on a “DR 50+” site and Ahrefs returns 36 for huntscreens.com, on both the apex and the www host. Domain Rating moves, and a site that was above 50 at some point can drift below it without anybody updating a pricing string, so treat this as a number to re-check rather than an accusation. Check it yourself before paying: our Domain Rating checker takes any domain, including theirs and ours.
How long is the HuntScreens free queue?
Their own figures at the time of writing: “~30 days review” with “2509 in queue”. The VIP Pass at $10.00 is sold as “Skip the line — go live in 24 hours”, with a counter reading “31 products went live today”. So the paid route here buys review speed rather than a better link, and the two decisions are genuinely separate.
What does HuntScreens cost in total?
Joining the queue is $0. The VIP Pass is $10.00 for 24-hour review. The Permanent SEO Backlink add-on is $79.00. Sidebar Ads are $29.00 for 7 days or $99.00 for 30. Two bundles combine them: Launch Pack at $99.00, reduced from $118.00, and Growth Pack at $159.00, reduced from $188.00.
What is HuntScreens' refund policy?
Stated on the submit form as a checkbox you have to tick: “I understand that if my product is rejected during review, I will receive a full refund. Once my product is published, no refunds will be available.” So the refund covers rejection, not disappointment, and it is clear about that before you pay rather than afterwards.
How big is the HuntScreens catalogue?
23,638 product pages in the English sitemap alone, with separate sitemaps for Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Indonesian and Turkish. It is one of the largest catalogues in this guide, and their submission page claims 300K monthly visitors, which is their figure rather than ours.
Is a nofollow listing still worth having?
Yes, for what it is: discovery, a permanent page in a large multilingual catalogue, and referral traffic if their audience figure is anywhere near right. It is not worth counting as a backlink, and the free tier never pretended it was. Judge it as a shop window rather than as link equity, and your expectations will match what arrives.
Does Submitator submit to HuntScreens?
Yes. It sits in our catalog with its Domain Rating on the card and a no-equity mark, because that is what 80 of 80 listings measured. You tick it or leave it like every other directory, and a rejection comes back as a credit for another one.
Which AI crawlers can read HuntScreens?
All of them, explicitly. Their robots.txt names GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot and gives each one Allow: /, with only the badge embed, search and promote paths closed off. That is the most permissive AI policy of any board in this catalog, and the opposite of the training-refused posture several others have adopted.
