Once you have created a profile, your next step is to select your sites to which you want to submit. Apply a filter to select a subset of available sites. There are more than 4000 sites of about 30 categories. Some important site categories are:
*AGE - *Article - General
*GEN - *Directory - General
*SEN - *Search Engine - General
*PR - Press Release - General
*DFW - *Download - Freeware
*DSH - *Download - Shareware
*DSW - *Download - Software
BLOG - Directory - Blog
WEB - Directory - Webmasters
SEO - Directory - SEO
INET - Directory - Internet
20 more categories
KnowboForm not only can filter out sites based on category but also on other site properties. For example you may want to select your sites based on whether the sites offer free submission or not, whether reciprocal link is mandatory, whether sites have good pagerank, whether sites display direct link to your site, whether the sites accept deep links, whether the sites accept multiple links from your same domain, whether registration is required and many more important aspects.
For this quick start guide let us select a subset of sites suitable for the profile created in the above example. Our subset is based on the following site characteristics:
Site Category: *GEN
Sites that offer free submission
Sites that do not require registration
