Directory review
ActiveSearchResult review
Active Search Results (ASR) describes itself as an independent internet search engine with its own spiders, not a directory. It ranks sites partly by "ASR Ranking", points earned when site owners do things like registering, signing in, resubmitting URLs and opening its emails. There are no per-product listing pages; a submitted site appears as a search result paragraph.

Our verdict
ActiveSearchResult is a high-authority domain (DR 74). We haven't confirmed whether its listing links are dofollow yet. Listing is free and approval takes about 1 day.
Best for Site owners who want a free entry in a small independent search engine; it is not a place where founders browse or discover products.
What a listing gets you
- Indexing in the ASR search engine
- A search result paragraph built from your page title (max 100 characters), meta description (max 150), the first 300 characters of body text, meta keywords and URL
- With a free account: manage, resubmit or temporarily remove URLs and see submission and indexing dates
Pricing, timing and links
- Pricing
- The site says website owners have no direct costs to promote their websites, and that paid ranking and placement is not available on the main search results page.
- Approval time
- "If you submit or re-submit your Web site by 4:00 AM US Eastern time, it will be made available for searching by 12:00 PM US Eastern time."
- Links
- Not verified: ASR has no listing pages, and both its keyword search and URL search returned server errors (HTTP 500) when we tested them.
Before you submit
- A valid URL and a valid email address
- Registration is optional, but the site says registered members earn a higher ASR Ranking
- Ranking points come from activity such as activating membership, adding location to the profile, signing in, opening its emails and resubmitting URLs weekly
- Submissions openYES
How to get approved
- Set a clear page title (up to 100 characters) and meta description (up to 150) before submitting, since ASR displays them as your result.
- Put your key description in the first 300 characters of body text, which ASR shows in the result paragraph.
- Submit before 4:00 AM US Eastern to be searchable by noon the same day, and resubmit after changing those fields to get re-indexed.
- Expect a stream of emails: the ranking system rewards opening them, and registration opts you in.
