How to Submit a Template to Land-book, and What $69 Actually Buys
Land-book is a web-design gallery, not a link directory, and it is one of the better ones. Ahrefs rates the domain 73, which is the highest of anything we have written up. Listing a template costs $69, one-time, and you only pay after a person has looked at it and said yes.
We don't submit to Land-book, so what follows is a walkthrough, and a friendlier one than most on this site because there is very little to argue with. The comparison worth making is not that one of these is bad. It is that a Land-book listing and a hundred-directory run cost almost the same money and are not the same purchase at all: $69 against $79, ten dollars apart, buying two different things.
$69 buys one placement in front of a design audience. At the median listing's 2,329 views that is about three cents a view, which is a fair price for attention. $79 buys 100 directories at 79 cents each, which is a price for reach rather than attention. Neither number converts into the other, and if you are selling a template that clears their review, the honest answer is that these two work better together than either does as a replacement for the other.

Per land-book.com/submit-template, the templates and gallery surfaces, published listing pages, robots.txt, the sitemap and archived copies of the submit page, read on 6 August 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker; no second provider was queried. The no-nofollow finding covers 45,523 anchors parsed across the pages we captured, in which the strings nofollow and ugc each occur zero times. The indexability split covers 56 paid template pages and 12 free editorial entries, 68 pages in total, not the whole site. View and save figures are the counters Land-book displays on its own listing pages, sampled across 11 template listings, so they are its numbers rather than ours; the median is of that sample. Site-wide traffic was not measured by us: the two third-party estimates quoted disagree with each other by roughly 5x and are reported as a range rather than a figure. Durability is from 16 listings aged 2.2 to 4.5 years, all of which still return a live page. The $69 price was byte-identical across six archived captures between November 2025 and June 2026; the most recent of those is about six weeks old, so today's price is taken from the live page rather than the archive. Nothing behind the approval step or the emailed payment link was observed: no template was submitted, no account created and no payment made, so review outcomes, delivery and refund practice are outside what we can report. Submitator does not submit to Land-book; it is $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time, chosen by you in the dashboard with DR shown, badges installed and kept live, a live link per completed listing, rejections credited back as +1 directory and a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
How to submit a template to Land-book, step by step
- 1
Submit first, pay later
Submission itself is free. A person reviews the template, with a stated turnaround of up to seven business days, and only if it is accepted do you get a Stripe link by email. There is no checkout on the site taking money ahead of the decision.
- 2
Check the slider before you assume $69
The $69 is the price for a single template. Adding more in one submission steps it down, reaching $45 each in the nine-to-fifteen band, and an annual PRO membership takes another 15% off, which puts the lowest per-template price around $38.

Expect the design to be judged
This is a curated gallery, so the review is aesthetic. That is the reason the audience is worth something, and it is also the reason this route is closed to plenty of perfectly good products. Budget for the possibility of a no.
- 4
Know what the fee changes technically
Paid template pages are indexable and in the sitemap; the free editorial gallery entries we checked carry a 'noindex, follow' robots meta and appear in no sitemap. The link attribute is the same either way, so what the fee buys on that front is the page being indexed, not a stronger link.
- 5
Treat lifetime as their word, and a well-supported one
Their FAQ calls it a one-time payment guaranteeing lifetime visibility. We could not test a promise about the future, but sixteen of sixteen listings aged between two and four and a half years still return a live page, which is better evidence than most permanence claims come with.
What the $69 gets you
Their FAQ answers the billing question directly: No, this is a one-time payment that guarantees lifetime visibility for your template. The advertised placement is a spell on the homepage followed by a permanent entry on the Templates page. No newsletter send and no social promotion is promised anywhere, so if you were expecting either, it is not part of the offer.
The mechanical difference is more interesting than the placement, and it is not advertised at all. Of the paid template pages we looked at, 56 of 56 were indexable and listed in the sitemap. Of the free editorial gallery entries, 12 of 12 carried a robots meta reading noindex, follow and appeared in no sitemap. Sixty-eight pages, a clean split down the middle. Paying is what makes the page one search engines are invited to keep, which for a template you are trying to sell is arguably the more useful half of the purchase.
What the money does not buy is a better link. Across 45,523 anchors we parsed, the strings nofollow and ugc appear zero times. Links out to a listed author's own site carry rel="noopener", a security attribute that leaves authority untouched, and that is the same on the paid listings and the free editorial entries. There is nothing to catch here; the site simply doesn't nofollow anyone.
The audience is real, and they undersell it
This is the part that decides whether $69 is a good price, because attention is the product. Land-book shows a view count and a save count on every listing. Across eleven template listings we sampled, views ran from 1,536 to 8,056 with a median of 2,329, saves had a median of 27, and not a single listing sat at zero. Four templates verified in late January had already reached between 1,536 and 2,109 views inside five or six weeks, before whatever tail follows.
On site-wide traffic we are less precise, and we would rather say so than pick a number. Two third-party estimators disagree with each other badly, one reading around 862,000 monthly visits in June 2026 and the other around 153,000. The detail worth noticing is where Land-book's own published claim sits: between them, rather than above both. Sites that inflate their reach do not usually land under the friendlier estimate.
And the listings persist. We took sixteen entries aged between two and four and a half years and every one still returns a live page today, while the feed keeps publishing. For a one-time fee sold on the word lifetime, that is about as much reassurance as public evidence can offer.
Where the comparison with us actually sits
Ten dollars separate $69 and $79, so this is not a budget decision. It is a question of which currency you want. Land-book gives you one placement in front of a returning design readership, on a DR 73 domain, permanently, and a hundred directory listings cannot manufacture that audience no matter how many of them there are. Our $79 gives you a hundred separate sites at 79 cents each, chosen by you, for any kind of product, with no aesthetic gate and no wait for a verdict.
Three things decide it for most people. If you are not selling a template, the $69 door is not open at all. If your template does not clear the review, the same. And if what you are trying to move is the number of distinct sites linking to you, one listing is one listing however good the domain is. Conversely, if you have a finished template and it is beautiful, we would not pretend our hundred doors replace being seen by people who came to look at design that week. They are different jobs.
The honest version of our pitch here is narrower than usual: a template submitted across a hundred directories does get seen too, and it costs ten dollars more than one Land-book listing. If the budget only stretches to one of them, pick by what you need rather than by price, because at this distance the price barely speaks.
A hundred doors, for ten dollars more.
If you want breadth rather than one placement, $79 covers 100 directories you pick yourself, with no design review to pass and no queue to wait in.
Is the Land-book template listing worth $69?
On the evidence, yes, with the ordinary caveat that it has to suit you. The audience is real and measurable on their own pages, the listings outlive the payment by years, you are not asked for money until a human has approved the work, nothing is nofollowed, the price has not moved in the archive, and the fee quietly buys the indexable version of the page. Very little of that is true of the paid directories we usually write about.
The reasons to spend the money elsewhere are about fit rather than quality. It only accepts templates. It only accepts good-looking ones. And it is a single placement, so if your problem is that too few sites link to you, this does not solve that problem and was never sold as solving it.
Good product. Just not the same product.
$69 buys one permanent listing on a DR 73 design gallery with a median of 2,329 views, paid only after a person approves it. $79 buys a hundred directories at 79 cents each, for anything, with no review to pass. Ten dollars apart, different jobs. The hundred are listed here.
FAQ
How much does it cost to submit a template to Land-book?
$69 for one template, and that is the top of a sliding scale rather than a flat fee. The price steps down as you add templates in a single submission, reaching $45 each in the nine-to-fifteen band, and an annual PRO membership takes a further 15% off, which puts the floor around $38. Their FAQ is explicit about the billing: 'No, this is a one-time payment that guarantees lifetime visibility for your template.' The price was byte-identical across six archived captures between November 2025 and June 2026.
Do you pay Land-book before or after they accept your template?
After. Submitting is free, a person reviews it, and their stated turnaround is up to seven business days. If it is accepted you get a Stripe payment link by email; there is no checkout sitting on the site waiting to take your money first. That order of operations is worth noting because it is the opposite of most paid listings, where payment comes first and the review, if any, comes later.
Are Land-book links dofollow?
There is no nofollow anywhere on the site. Across 45,523 anchors we parsed, the strings nofollow and ugc appear zero times. Links to a listed author's own site carry rel='noopener', which is a security attribute and does nothing to authority either way. That is true of the paid template listings and of Land-book's free editorial gallery entries alike, so the fee is not buying you a better link attribute.
What does paying actually change on Land-book?
Two things, and one of them is easy to miss. The advertised part is placement: a spell on the homepage followed by a permanent entry on the Templates page. The mechanical part is indexability. Of the paid template pages we checked, 56 of 56 were indexable and present in the sitemap. Of the free editorial gallery entries we checked, 12 of 12 carried a robots meta reading 'noindex, follow' and appeared in no sitemap. That is a clean 68 out of 68 split, so the paid tier is the one search engines are invited to keep.
Does a Land-book listing actually get seen?
The evidence says yes, and this is the part that matters most since attention is what they are selling. Each listing displays its own view and save counters. Across eleven template listings we sampled, views ran from 1,536 to 8,056 with a median of 2,329, saves had a median of 27, and not one listing sat at zero. Four templates verified in late January had already reached between 1,536 and 2,109 views within five or six weeks. On site-wide traffic, two third-party estimators disagree with each other, at roughly 862k and roughly 153k monthly visits in June 2026, and Land-book's own published claim sits between the two rather than above both. Listings also last: sixteen of sixteen entries aged between two and four and a half years still return a live page today.
Should you use Land-book or Submitator?
They are not substitutes, and at $69 against $79 the choice is not really about money. Land-book sells one placement in front of a returning design audience, and only if you are selling a template and it passes an aesthetic review. Submitator sells breadth: 100 directories for $79, about 79 cents each, for any kind of product, with no design gate and no approval to wait for. If your template is strong and finished, the Land-book listing is a good ten dollars cheaper than our hundred-directory run and buys something our run cannot reproduce. If you want the number of sites linking to you to go up, or Land-book has said no, or you are not selling a template at all, that door is not open and ours is.

Breadth, if that is the gap.
$79 puts you on a hundred directories you choose by name, each with its Domain Rating beside it. Refunds run to thirty days, on the conditions we publish.
