If Alltop.com turned up on an RSS or podcast submission list you are working through, start here before you spend an afternoon looking for the submit button. Alltop is very much alive, and its traffic is climbing, but it is no longer the open blog directory those lists describe, and it has never been a podcast directory. As of its July 2026 relaunch, Alltop is an editor-curated news ranking site that clusters coverage by source and pairs stories with live prediction market data. There is no public form for adding your blog or your show. What has not changed is why you were looking: you want your feed distributed, your show discoverable, and your brand appearing on platforms search engines already trust. That is the service we run, and this page explains exactly how it works and what it can honestly deliver.
Alltop launched in 2008 as Guy Kawasaki's online magazine rack. It pulled RSS feeds from thousands of blogs, sorted them onto topic pages, and let readers scan headlines across a subject in one place. Bloggers could suggest their site for inclusion, and a listing meant a link from a recognised domain. That is the version of Alltop that lives on in submission lists written between 2010 and 2019.
The site today works differently. Its own about page, updated in July 2026, describes three layers: ingestion and clustering that group twenty versions of the same headline into one story with its sources attached, a ranking model that scores each story on freshness, the number of separate outlets covering it and the authority of those outlets, and human editors who make the final call on what leads the homepage. Alongside that sits a prediction markets layer drawing live pricing from Kalshi and Polymarket. MyAlltop still offers personal feeds, so readers can follow topics and sources.
Two consequences matter for anyone holding a submission checklist. First, inclusion is editorial and source-level. Stories arrive because outlets Alltop already ingests are covering them, and a story only one outlet is running is held back until others corroborate it. Second, there is no self-service submission route. The only public channel is an email address for press enquiries, source suggestions and corrections. Nothing on the site accepts a podcast RSS feed, because episodes have never been what Alltop indexes.
The keyword holds its volume for reasons worth understanding, because each one points at something we can actually do for you.
Posts promising dozens of RSS submission sites that still work are republished every year with the same platform list. Alltop is near the top of almost all of them, usually with a line about accepting submissions within three to seven business days. Nobody checks. Those lists get copied into agency checklists and sold as deliverables long after the platform behind them has changed shape.
Alltop carries genuine brand recognition and a strong domain profile, so a listing looks like an easy authority win. It is not available on request, and no agency can buy or guarantee it. Anyone who promises you an Alltop placement for a fee is either misinformed or selling something that will not appear.
These are two different jobs with two different feed types. A blog RSS feed can be submitted to aggregators and readers. A podcast RSS feed, with enclosure tags and episode media files, belongs in podcast directories that syndicate to listening apps. Most checklists mix them together, which is how a music or news platform ends up on a podcast submission list. We separate them, submit each to the right places, and tell you which of your feeds is doing which job.
This is a managed service delivered by people, not a bulk submitter with a report generator attached. Every platform is handled individually, logged with a date and a status, and followed up until the listing is live or formally declined.
Dual feed audit: we validate your podcast RSS feed against Apple and Spotify requirements, checking enclosure tags, episode GUIDs, artwork dimensions, categories, explicit flags, author fields and language tags, and we separately check the show-notes or blog feed that aggregators read.
Topic and keyword research: podcast apps and feed readers index titles, descriptions and tags heavily, so we research the terms your audience actually uses and map them across show, season and episode metadata.
Metadata and description writing: short and long show descriptions, episode summaries, tag sets and category mapping, written in clean English rather than the keyword-stuffed filler platforms reject.
Cover art specification check: square artwork, pixel dimensions, colour space and legibility at thumbnail size, flagged before submission rather than after a rejection.
Manual directory and aggregator submissions using verified accounts, with the correct regional and category settings for each market you sell into.
Editorial source suggestions where a platform like Alltop works that way, sent as a genuine pitch with a reason to care rather than a template.
Verification, resubmission and reporting: every listing confirmed live, every public URL captured, every rejection chased or explained.
The exact list depends on your show, language and target markets, and we re-check acceptance status at the time of submission rather than trusting a list we wrote last year.
Apple Podcasts through Podcasts Connect and Spotify for Creators come first, because a large share of listening apps draw from their catalogues. Alongside them we submit to Amazon Music and Audible, YouTube Music podcasts, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Castbox, Deezer and Pocket Casts, subject to regional eligibility.
Podcast Index, Listen Notes and Podchaser feed a long tail of apps, research tools and journalists. Podchaser in particular acts as a credibility layer, holding reviews, credits and curated lists that get cited in coverage.
This is where the Alltop intent is genuinely served. Feedspot, Feedly, Inoreader, Flipboard and Blogarama continue to accept feed submissions, and several of them return an indexable public page for your show or blog. These are the working descendants of the magazine rack model, and for most brands they deliver more than a single legacy directory listing ever did.
Mixcloud, SoundCloud and Audiomack host shows, sessions and episodes with real listener discovery and a linkable profile per upload. If your audio is not strictly an episodic podcast, this is often the more useful half of the work.
Since Alltop ranks stories rather than accepting listings, the honest path to appearing there runs through coverage. Alltop's ranking weighs how many separate outlets are running a story and how authoritative they are, so a brand that gets picked up by publications already in the ingestion set has a chance of surfacing inside a cluster. A single mention on one small site will not clear the corroboration threshold.
What we do, therefore, is treat Alltop as a digital PR outcome rather than a submission task. We identify the outlets covering your subject area, build a pitch around something genuinely newsworthy from your podcast, such as original data, a notable guest or a contrarian finding, and send source suggestions where the platform invites them. We report what we sent and what happened. We do not promise placement, we do not invoice for a mention we cannot control, and we will tell you plainly when a topic is unlikely to reach that threshold.
Every engagement runs the same documented workflow, so you always know what stage your show is at and what is waiting on whom.
We run both feeds through validators, listen to a sample episode for loudness and clarity issues, and return a short fix list. If a feed will fail at Apple, you hear about it before submission, not after rejection.
We identify the search terms your listeners use inside apps and on the web, then select the primary and secondary categories that give you the best chance of surfacing in browse pages and charts.
Show title, subtitle, short and long descriptions, tags and episode summaries, written to read naturally while carrying the terms you want associated with the show.
Each directory and aggregator is submitted individually with the correct regional settings, ownership verification and contact email. Where ownership matters we use your accounts, so control of every listing stays with you.
For platforms that work by curation rather than submission, we send properly researched source suggestions and pitches, and log every one with its outcome.
We confirm each listing is live, capture the public URL, handle rejections and slow approvals, and hand over the full record with recommendations for the next cycle.
Everything is handed over in a format you can audit line by line. No screenshots standing in for evidence, and no platform counted as complete until it is verifiable.
Platform name, submission date, current status, approval date and the live listing URL for every entry.
Show descriptions in short and long form, episode summaries, tag sets and the category mapping used on each platform.
Issues found, issues fixed, and anything remaining that needs your hosting provider's involvement.
Who was contacted, what was pitched, and the response or lack of one.
On ongoing plans: new listings gained, referral sessions, branded search movement and next month's plan.
SEOServiceinIndia delivers podcast and feed submission globally, with concentrations in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore and India. Market matters more than most agencies admit: category names, spelling conventions, platform availability and listening app share all differ by region, and metadata written for a US audience underperforms in Singapore or the UK when it is copied across untouched.
We work regularly with B2B and SaaS companies running thought-leadership shows, healthcare and wellness practices, legal and financial firms with compliance-sensitive language, education and training brands, real estate groups, ecommerce and D2C labels, travel operators and independent creators building a personal brand. We also run white-label submission programmes for agencies who want the work delivered under their own reporting.
Three levels, scoped on show volume and market coverage rather than a flat rate card, because a weekly show across three markets is not the same job as a twelve-episode limited series.
One-time submission across the core directory set, with the dual feed audit, show-level metadata and the full submission tracker. Best for a new show that needs a clean launch. Submission typically completes in seven to ten working days, with approvals landing over the following two to four weeks.
Everything in Starter, plus the extended platform list, blog and RSS aggregator submissions, audio network profiles, episode-level metadata for your back catalogue and monthly reporting. Best for an active show publishing on a regular schedule.
Full platform coverage, ongoing episode syndication, an editorial outreach programme aimed at aggregators and news platforms that work by curation, transcript optimisation for your website and quarterly strategy reviews.
We have run feed and podcast distribution across six markets through several rounds of platform consolidation, including the reinvention of the exact platform this page is named after. We know which submissions still return value and which are theatre.
Submission sits inside a full SEO practice. The same team handles technical audits, content, digital PR and reporting, so your audio work connects back to your website instead of running as an isolated task.
We publish our platform list, our process and our limits openly, and every listing we claim comes with a URL you can open in a new tab.
No bulk submitters, no invented placements, no dead or closed platforms padding a report. When a platform stops accepting submissions, it comes off our list and we tell you why, exactly as we have done here.
Send us your RSS feed link and the markets you want to reach. We will run a free feed audit, tell you plainly which platforms will accept your show today, and give you a fixed scope and timeline before you commit to anything. If your content suits aggregators and audio networks better than podcast directories, we will say so. Either way, you finish the conversation knowing exactly where your audio should live and what each listing is worth.
No. Alltop indexes news stories from outlets it already ingests and does not accept podcast RSS feeds. Its current format, relaunched in July 2026, combines editor-ranked story clusters with prediction market data, and there is no self-service submission form on the site.
Not through a public form. The original suggest-your-blog model belonged to the older magazine rack version of the site. Today the only public channel is an email address for press enquiries, source suggestions and corrections, and inclusion remains an editorial decision.
You get your podcast and blog feeds submitted to every platform that does accept them, plus a properly researched editorial pitch where curation is the only route. You also get an accurate picture of which legacy submission targets are worth your time at all.
Feedspot, Feedly, Inoreader, Flipboard and Blogarama are the reliable ones at the time of writing, alongside the podcast-specific indexes Podcast Index, Listen Notes and Podchaser. We re-verify each before submitting rather than working from a saved list.
Submissions are usually completed within seven to ten working days. Approvals vary widely by platform: some are instant, Apple and Spotify typically take a few days, and a handful of directories can take several weeks.
Not directly, and we will not claim otherwise. It builds branded search surfaces, referral traffic and entity signals, and it becomes considerably more valuable to organic search when episodes are paired with transcripts published on your own website.
For most directories we need only the public RSS feed URL and the owner email address that receives verification codes. Where ownership verification is required, we can use a shared account or walk your team through the confirmation step.
Yes. Agencies in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and India run our submission programme under their own branding, with reporting formatted to match their client deliverables.
