- **Directory:** Huffingtonpost (huffingtonpost.com)
- **Submit URL:** https://huffingtonpost.com
- **DR:** 91
- **Pricing:** Free
- **Category:** General Directory (#27 of 276 by DR in this category)
- **Referral traffic:** Very High
- **Backlink quality:** Weak
- **Link type:** Mixed — huffingtonpost.com article pages with outbound links; editorial and contributor content vary by placement type

## Quick verdict

Earned news media — DR 91, free to submit. Worth it with a culture or news hook; skip if you confuse it with huffpost.com or want a directory link.

**Best for:** Consumer brands, social-impact startups, and products with broad cultural relevance · Founders pursuing earned coverage or qualified contributor blog pitches

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Editorial pitches may take weeks with no guarantee. Contributor submissions follow separate editorial review timelines.
- **Review:** Professional editorial team selects news and culture stories — not self-serve directory acceptance.
- **Common rejections:** Dry B2B SaaS pitches, products without consumer angle, unsupported claims, or stories lacking cultural or news hook.
- **Reputation:** Huffingtonpost.com and huffpost.com are related but distinct properties — confirm which outlet editors handle before pitching.

## Pros

- DR 91 huffingtonpost.com with Very High referral traffic on published stories
- Broad audience beyond niche startup and investor circles
- Legacy domain authority and archived content discovery
- Indexed articles remain discoverable via search after initial spike

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — coverage is not an SEO link strategy
- No self-serve product listing form — requires PR pitch or contributor path
- B2B-only SaaS often struggles without a consumer or impact angle
- Domain transition to huffpost.com may affect editorial routing — verify before pitching

## What you need before you submit

- News or culture hook — why the audience cares beyond product features
- High-quality visuals: product photos, demo context, or human-interest angle
- Press kit with founder quote, traction proof, and availability details
- Short pitch tailored to Huffington Post sections (business, tech, wellness, impact)
- Confirmation of correct editorial contact for huffingtonpost.com vs. huffpost.com

**Gotchas:**

- Do not pitch huffingtonpost.com if editors now route through huffpost.com — research current contacts
- Contributor content must meet editorial standards — not disguised advertorial
- Mass generic pitches underperform — personalize to the relevant editor or section

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** No public directory form — pitch Huffington Post editorial, apply as contributor, or contact PR agencies for earned coverage.
- **Categories:** Stories must fit news, culture, business, wellness, or impact beats — narrow B2B infra rarely fits without reframing.
- **Anchor text:** Editor-controlled in article body — typically company or product name linking to your site.
- **Link placement:** Dedicated huffingtonpost.com article — crawlable when published, not a directory widget entry.
