What a SideProjectors listing includes
SideProjectors is a catalog. Marketplace for buying, selling and showcasing side projects and finding co-founders. When we checked on November 2, 2026, the cost was: Free to submit, no commission on sales; optional memberships $3–$9/month.
Listings are either for sale or a showcase. Paid memberships unlock contact limits, not listing.
Link type, and how we know
Link type on a free (or the only) listing: Nofollow. We read it on the site's own pricing, FAQ or submit page, or from the rel attribute on the link a public listing gives the listed product.
Conditions: Nofollow ugc in the page HTML
The pages we opened on November 2, 2026:
- sideprojectors.com/
- sideprojectors.com/submit/type
- sideprojectors.com/help/home
- sideprojectors.com/membership2
- sideprojectors.com/project/106735/findry-ai
A nofollow, sponsored or UGC link tells search engines not to count it as a vote; a plain (dofollow) link can be counted. Either way, a listing is worth more for the people who see it than for the link.
