Why look beyond Quora
- Quora links are nofollow, so a listing does nothing for your backlink profile — 5 of the 12 alternatives in this list are dofollow.
- Blatant self-promotion gets collapsed — answer the question first
- Listings compound: the same product kit (name, tagline, descriptions, logo, screenshots) works across every directory here, so one afternoon covers all of them.
