SourceForge
sourceforge.netThe business software side of SourceForge is a review and comparison directory with category, alternatives and comparison pages that draw a very large buyer audience. Vendors can claim and edit a basic listing for free, but call-to-action buttons to your website, category promotion and review campaigns need a paid plan with pricing by inquiry. Even the paid Visit Website button runs through a nofollow tracking redirect, so treat this as a reviews and lead source rather than a backlink.

Who it's for
The link is nofollow, so treat this as a traffic and discovery play rather than SEO. Worth it if the audience matches; skip if you're only after backlinks.
