FAQ

Is GitHub a directory submission? No — GitHub is a dev platform. You “submit” by publishing a repo with README, homepage link, and topics. Referral traffic follows repo quality and promotion, not a form.

Does GitHub give dofollow backlinks? Repo and README links are crawlable on DR 96 github.com. We rate backlink quality Very Strong — treat value as dev credibility plus referral clicks, not guaranteed SEO juice on every link.

How is GitHub different from GitHub Trending? GitHub is your repo/profile presence. GitHub Trending is an algorithmic daily feed — you earn it with star velocity, not a submission form.

Is GitHub free for product launches? Public repos and profiles are free. Freemium applies to private repos, advanced CI minutes, and org features — most early-stage dev launches stay on the free tier.
