Should you submit to WIP?
wip.co has a moderate Domain Rating of 55. Listings on WIP get a nofollow link. It can still send visitors, but search engines don't count it toward your rankings.
There is no free way onto WIP: every listing is paid. WIP is a community rather than a listing site. Self-promotion only lands when you share something useful, so read its rules first.
Submit for the audience, not the backlink: the value here is the people who see your launch.

- Have a square logo and two or three screenshots ready.
- Check the current price on wip.co before paying; plans change often.
